The family of a Cork man who suffocated to death while being restrained in a Cork City nightclub is appealing for his case to be re‑examined on the 25th anniversary of his death. Adrian Moynihan was 23 when he died at Sidetrax nightclub on March 26, 2001. A surveillance camera captures Adrian Moynihan (centre, light shirt) in an altercation outside Sidetrax nightclub. “We're not happy with the results of the original inquest, which states that Adrian died from a misadventure, implying that it was an accident. Adrian Moynihan was just 23 when he died.
