The jury in the inquest into the death of George Nkencho returned a narrative verdict on Friday in which they made a number of recommendations for procedures during the deployment of armed gardaí.
Among them, the jury recommended that armed engagement around occupied dwellings should be avoided where possible, that there should be more and easier access to non-lethal equipment and that additional training should be provided to help members of the force identify and deal with people suffering from mental illness.
