A Derry newspaper has reported that the family of victims of the Buncrana Pier tragedy have received a claim against the deceased’s estate from a woman who helped at the scene. The sole survivor of the accident was Mr McGrotty’s baby daughter, who was four months old at the time. Stephanie Knox, Mr Walsh’s partner at that time, was present at the scene. The late Mr McGrotty’s 86-year-old father, Noel, told Derry Now that he had received a legal letter from Ms Knox. She wishes to claim an undisclosed amount from the estate of his late son for loss of earnings and other matters.
