A preliminary inquest hearing into the death of Irish Coast Guard volunteer Caitríona Lucas has heard that the Department of Transport refuted suggestions by a lawyer for Ms Lucas’s family that it had attempted to obstruct the inquest.

Ms Lucas died after a Rib attached to the Kilkee Coast Guard unit capsized during a search for a missing man on September 12, 2016.
