Joe Grogan, a notable figure in the Irish farming community, passed away on April 15, 2023. His wife, Lisa Flaherty-Grogan, is set to host an upcoming event on their farmland. An inquest into his death has revealed family disputes, particularly concerning the legitimacy of their marriage which occurred just a day before his passing. Tensions escalated during the court proceedings with his wife's counsel defending their marriage's legitimacy, while cousins questioned its validity. The coroner ruled that the marriage's validity was not relevant to the cause of death, despite significant family attendance and emotional responses at the inquest.
At the hearing, Mr Tansey sought an adjournment due to the absence of doctor Ben Kato, emphasizing the importance of his testimony about Mr Grogan's death.
Counsel Stephen Byrne argued that the discussion surrounding the validity of the marriage to Ms Flaherty-Grogan was preposterously irrelevant to the cause of death.
