An inquest into the death of a man who took his own life while in custody in Cork Prison was adjourned indefinitely due to concerns over inadequate provision of CCTV footage.

Andrew Gearns, 29, from Model Farm Road in Cork, was “at a very low ebb in his life” when he entered Cork Prison in September, 2020. He died a few days later. His family believe that with the right intervention and care, he may been saved, the court heard.
