Mrs Buchanan told the inquest that she had been married to Paul for 29 years and that they had two sons. She said Mr Buchanan visited the credit union branch for three days every quarter in his role as an internal auditor. He said Gardai, led by Inspector Michael Doherty, carried out a number of actions to determine proof of life of Mr Buchanan. The coroner paid a special thanks to both the Gardai and the emergency services in their efforts in trying to find the late Mr Buchanan.
