An inquest into the deaths of three IRA men killed in an SAS ambush needs to establish if there is an audio recording of the shootings, a coroner has been told.

A barrister for relatives of two of the three men shot dead in the incident in Coagh, Co Tyrone, in June 1991 said there were unconfirmed claims that a tape was made but then destroyed.
