The parents of a young man whose body was found in a Galway canal three years ago want the coroner dealing with his inquest to recuse himself from hearing the case, the High Court has heard. Mr Justice Séamus Noonan granted lawyers for the family leave to bring High Court judicial review proceedings against the coroner. Mr Gubbins then spotted the coroner and a garda inspector, who was to be present the case at the inquest, walking around the same area. When the family said they wished to bring High Court proceedings over the matter, the inquest was adjourned to October. Mr Gubbins said the Garda superintendent in overall charge of the investigation did not appear to be concerned with the two youths seen following Brian.
