Journalist Eugene Moloney, who died following an incident on Camden Street in Dublin two months ago, had suffered an internal bleed in the brain, Dublin Coroner’s Court has been told.
Mr Moloney (55), a former Irish Independent and Evening Herald reporter, died after he suffered a blow to the head on Camden Street as he made his way home to Portobello Place in south Dublin after a night out with friends on June 24th. He was taken to St James’s Hospital following the incident where he was pronounced dead.
At the opening of the inquest into Mr Moloney’s death yesterday, Det Garda Insp Seán Campbell requested an adjournment until criminal proceedings have been completed. Trainee mechanic Gary Burch (21), Kennington Close, Templeogue, Dublin, has been charged with the manslaughter.
