The families of three men killed in a collision on the N7 in south Dublin two years ago while fleeing from gardaí have expressed concern at a delay in finding out the result of an investigation by the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission into their deaths.
The three victims who were members of a Tallaght-based burglary gang – Dean Maguire (29), Karl Freeman (26) and Graham Taylor (31) – were killed instantly when their BMW vehicle burst into flames following a head-on crash with a truck between Citywest and Baldonnel on July 7, 2021 while they were driving on the wrong side of the carriageway.
At a preliminary hearing of the inquest into the deaths of the three men on Wednesday, solicitor for Mr Taylor’s family, James McGuill, said his clients wanted the coroner, Clare Keane, to use her authority to establish why there had been such a delay by GSOC in completing its investigation.
