The inquest into the deaths of the two psychiatric patients killed in Grangegorman in March 1997 is to be attended today by convicted killer Mark Nash's legal team.
Dublin City Coroner Dr Brian Farrell had asked Nash to attend the inquests on Ms Sylvia Shields and Ms Mary Callinan yesterday, but he had refused. Nash, originally from Huddersfield, England, confessed to the women's deaths when arrested in connection with another double murder in 1997 but later withdrew his confession.
He is serving two life sentences in Arbour Hill prison for the murders of Catherine and Carl Doyle.
The inquest began at Dublin City Coroner's Court yesterday after being adjourned 20 times since March 31st, 1998.
