High Court grants leave to seek judicial review of a decision by the Attorney General to refuse to order a fresh inquest into the death of a person who drowned in 2008, where the original verdict was death by 'misadventure', but where a separate inquiry found that the Garda response had been 'confused, inappropriate and inadequate', on the grounds that the applicant had reached the low threshold of an arguable case for a new inquest, despite the difficulties that were likely to be established at hearing.
Judicial review - application for leave - decision of Attorney General to refuse to order a fresh inquest - death by drowning in 2008 - verdict in 2009 of death by 'misadventure' - inquiry into Garda response - conduct and adequacy of Garda investigation - report in 2018 - finding that response was “confused, inappropriate and inadequate” - discretion on part of AG - views of Coroner - whether an arguable case.
