The couple, who had two children, had been out shopping at the post-Christmas sales and were on their way home when the collision occurred.
Ms Hogg-Moore was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, while her husband died a short time later at Connolly Hospital Blanchardstown where he had been rushed by ambulance. A number of other pedestrians were also involved in the incident but no other injuries were reported.
At a sitting of Dublin District Coroner's Court on Tuesday, a sister of Ms Hogg-Moore, Katie Moore, gave evidence of formally identifying her sister's body to gardaí at Dublin City Mortuary in Whitehall.
A sister of Mr Hogg, Jennifer Hogg, also testified how she had identified her brother's body to gardaí at Connolly Hospital Blanchardstown.
Detective Inspector Jim McDermott applied for the two inquests to be adjourned under Section 25 (2) of the Coroners Act on the basis that criminal proceedings have already been initiated in relation to the deaths of the couple.
