'Many lines of inquiry ongoing' on violent holiday death of young GAA fanatic Joe Deacy

Gardaí are continuing to follow many lines of inquiry into the violent death of a young man from England while he was on holiday in the west of Ireland six years ago, an inquest has heard.

A brief sitting of Dublin District Coroner’s Court heard an application by gardaí for a further adjournment of the inquest into the death of Joe Deacy at Beaumont Hospital in Dublin on August 13, 2017 from injuries sustained the previous day in Swinford, Co Mayo.

Mr Deacy (21) from St Alban’s in Hertfordshire, had initially been treated at Mayo University Hospital in Castlebar for serious injuries where he was brought after being discovered lying on the ground outside a house at 6.30am on August 12, 2017 by a passing cyclist.
