Ms Moyagh Murdock:

It is important to point out that this assumption would have been made based on the fact that an individual would have been under the care of a doctor and getting treatment for something related to suicide risk. That has been something on which Professor Denis Cusack has already made a specific statement in his capacity as the coroner of Kildare County Coroner's Court. It is not a factor. It may be a presumption by people without the facts. It is not an issue in these files and certainly has not been the contributory factor, and certainly not at those levels of alcohol. A much higher level of alcohol would have been involved in those cases.
