The Irish Coroner

The Irish Coroner is an historical and social analysis of the coroner in pre-Famine, Famine and post-Famine Ireland and exposes a gap in Irish administrative history. William Charles Waddell served as coroner of north County Monaghan for over three decades. His detailed inquest reports, spanning over 31 years, not only chart the evolving role of the coroner in this crucial period in Irish history, they also highlight some of the social, economic and political contexts of the Famine crisis and the post-Famine decades in County Monaghan.
