Gardaí will give evidence from behind a screen during the inquest of two men shot dead by officers during a post office robbery, it emerged today.
The identification of Garda members will be protected for their own safety at the hearing, Dublin City Coroner's Court ruled.
Eric Hopkins and Colm Griffin died from gunshot injuries during a foiled robbery at Lusk Post Office on May 26th, 2005.
The men, both from Dublin's north inner city, were part of a five-man gang carrying out the raid. The men's families were in court for the hearing.
Dublin city coroner Dr Brian Farrell adjourned the case to be mentioned on July 2nd when a full hearing date will be fixed.
