Concern has been voiced about the lack of safety barriers at the end of a steep descent onto the towpath on the Royal Canal at Ballybough in Dublin following the drowning of a young man at the location last year.
Coroner, Aisling Gannon, said she would contact both Dublin City Council and Waterways Ireland about the concerns raised at an inquest into the death of Andrés Navarro by the victim’s husband.
Mr Navarro (25), a Mexican national with an address at Clonliffe Road, Ballybough, drowned after falling into the Royal Canal from the towpath near the bridge at Ballybough in the early hours of August 21, 2022.
