A coroner has said he is firmly committed that an inquest into the murder of GAA official Sean Brown will take place despite being told that a substantial amount of police material has recently been uncovered.

Justice Patrick Kinney said it was “amazing” that the PSNI seemed to have “misplaced” 18 folders of sensitive material about the killing which have now been made available.
