Buncrana Pier tragedy: First responders could not open car doors to save family

A pre-inquest hearing into the Buncrana Pier tragedy, in which five members of the same family drowned, has heard that first responders could not open the doors of the car which had entered the water.

Seán McGrotty and his extended family perished when their Audi Q7 jeep entered the waters of Lough Swilly in Co Donegal on March 20, 2016.

A full inquest into the tragedy is due to take place at Buncrana Courthouse in November.
