The family of a 31-year-old homeless woman who died after being struck by a truck on Dublin’s quays could not be located, her inquest heard tonight.

Sgt Michael Fortune, from the regional traffic division in Dublin Castle, said he had tried in vain to inform relations of Lisa Perkins, who was temporarily staying at the Park Lodge Hostel, North Circular Road, Dublin 7, since her death on September 28, 2004.
