Firefighters inquest seeks tapes of calls to Garda station

Wicklow County Council’s legal team has asked that recordings of phone calls made at Bray Garda Station during the investigation into the deaths of two firefighters be made available to their inquest.

However, gardaí say it is unlikely that any tapes exist.

The request for the tapes was made by Luán Ó Braonáin before the Dublin coroner at a mention of the inquest into the deaths of Bray firefighters Brian Murray and Mark O’Shaughnessy. The inquest into their deaths is set to resume this week having already heard 11 days of evidence.
