Jury returns verdict of misadventure at Buncrana pier tragedy inquest

The deaths of all five people who drowned in the Buncrana Pier Tragedy have been ruled as death by misadventure.
The jury in the two day inquest into the deaths made the ruling, which differs from death by accident in that some element of risk was introduced.
The coroner involved said that describing the tragedy as terrible and devastating for the family didn’t even begin to describe it.
