    Wondering about the inquest process, are they (Coroner, Garda) required to tell victims families that it’s taking place?

    If the Inquest is into a family member you are normally informed by the coroners office and it is up to you then if you wish to attend.

    I am not a 100% sure it is a requirement but I believe it maybe.
    If you contact the coroners court in writing and ask to be informed explaining your relationship to the case I believe they will reply to you.
    They may also reply outlining your level of requirements with any such hearing i.e. if they intend to call you as a witness or if your attendance is a requirement...
    The Coroners court is alway's for the Victim and the Facts first and foremost and are generally good at dealing with the family in a understanding and as helpful as they can sort of way.

    Hope This Helps.

    If you are asking this on your own behalf My condolences on your Loss.
