The 18-year-old was struck in the chest by the soldier of the 1
st Royal Welsh Fusiliers firing rubber bullets at the Camel s Hump checkpoint on the Lifford Road in July 1972.
He was taken to the nearest hospital across the border in Lifford where he was later pronounced dead.
An inquest was held into his death six days after the incident in Lifford by the Deputy Coroner for East Donegal.
There was no inquest held in Northern Ireland at the time.
An application was made by the Molloy family to the Attorney General in Northern Ireland and he determined in 2019 that it was ‘less likely that Mr Molloy died in Northern Ireland than he died in Ireland’ and therefore could not grant a fresh inquest.
