For the second Saturday in a row, the paper features commentary from Mayo based solicitor and coroner Patrick O’Connor. The Coroner appeared in a full page feature and photo shoot in the previous Saturday (February 4) edition.

These successive reports follow the Irish Examiner’s coverage of the topic of excess deaths, featuring Mr O’Connor on Monday January 30.

All of these column inches are a little curious because, none mention comments made by the coroner at the opening of an inquest into the death of a Joseph McGinty (14) from Achill Island three weeks post Pfizer vaccination.

Mr O’Connor described the death as ‘as a matter of significant public concern.’
