Family of murdered garda Tony Golden face further stress as they await expert reports, court hears

All issues are still in play in the claim by the widow and family of murdered Garda Tony Golden for compensation, the High Court was told today. Mr Justice Michael Twomey heard the trial may take up to five days.

Barrister Eamonn M.J. Coffey, counsel for Garda Golden’s widow, Nicola, and the couple’s three young children, told Judge Twomey that in the absence of expert reports being furnished to them by the State the family could face further stress.
