Six months later and the post-mortem is still rattling around inside Austin Gleeson’s head. Six months later and he still hasn’t arrived at a cause.

He’d happily move on and stop gawking at the rearview mirror if only he could figure out why Waterford flatlined as they did. For six months, though, he’s not had an ounce of joy in putting the whole sorry episode to bed.
