A preliminary hearing into the deaths of five people in the Buncrana Pier Tragedy is to take place this Friday.
Five members of the one family were drowned when their jeep rolled into the waters of Lough Swilly in March last year.
Those who perished included Sean McGrotty, his sons Evan (8) and Mark (12); the boy’s grandmother Ruth Daniels (57) and her daughter Jodie Lee Daniels (14).
Local man Davitt Walsh was hailed a hero after he swam out to the sinking keep and rescued a tiny baby girl from the vehicle.
Mr McGrotty, 49, handed out his baby daughter Rioghnach to Mr Walsh before he managed to swim back to the pier.
A pre-evidential hearing to arrange the inquest will take place under coroner Dr Denis McCauley in the Inishowen Gateway Hotel in Buncrana on Friday.
No date has yet been set for the formal inquests.
