Holohans ask for Wayne O’Donoghue to be called to inquest

The parents of murdered schoolboy Robert Holohan have written to the Cork County Coroner to ask for his killer to be summoned at the inquest into his death.

According to media reports, Majella Holohan wants Wayne O'Donoghue to personally respond to a number of issues she raised in her victim impact report at his sentencing.

O’Donoghue was sentenced to four years in prison for the manslaughter of 11-year-old Robert in January 2005.

Cork county coroner Frank O'Connell said that no details of the inquest, either its date or the potential witnesses to be summoned, will be discussed until after the 28-day statutory appeals period expires.
