Hi
Does anyone know if it is possible to get coroners reports for North County Dublin from 1918 and if so how you go about it?
Regards

You could try the Coroners office

Maybe a search in newpapers from the time would be more fruitful, the reason I say so is,I attempted to aquire reports from the 1970s and was told that it was a coroner's responsiblity to forward his records on retirement, this lead to problems as a coroner would amass a large quanity of records during his term of office, so in many cases they were only held for a certain time and then destroyed.
Basically a blind eye was turned to non compliance in Coroners reports not been forwarded to the relevant authorities on retirement.
I was successful in tracing the info I needed from newspaper accounts in Pearse St Library.
