Talbot family seeks day in High Court

Teenager was found dead in Dublin while in HSE aftercare

The sister of Danny Talbot, a teenager who died while in HSE aftercare, is to issue High Court proceedings against the State seeking a judicial inquiry into his death.

Legal representatives for Maria MacRae told Dublin Coroner’s Court they will issue proceedings in the coming days having received no response to their request for an independent judicial investigation. The request was first made in a letter to Tusla — the child and family agency — in September.
