The family of a man who took his own life in Cork Prison in 2020 say they are still waiting for an Inspector of Prisons report to be supplied for his inquest.

Andrew Gearns, 29, from Model Farm Road in Cork City, was “at a very low ebb in his life” when he was jailed for a minor offence in September 2020.
