The family of Private Seán Rooney, killed during a UN peacekeeping mission in Lebanon in 2022, is frustrated by the UN's lack of response to a coroner's request for assistance in investigating his death. Coroner Myra Cullinane submitted her inquiry on August 6, but has yet to receive a reply. Rooney was shot in an attack linked to Hezbollah. The inquest is scheduled to resume on January 24, 2025, with the family urging further engagement from the UN.
