Inquiry into the Death of Mr. Shane O'Farrell
Dail Éireann — 2022-05-24
============================================================

Bríd Smith (PBP), Dublin South-Central

My question to the Minister is about the scoping report into the death of Shane O'Farrell that was insisted upon by the previous Minister, Deputy Flanagan, over two years ago. It is almost 11 years since Shane O'Farrell was killed in his home town of Monaghan. There has been a litany of failures by the State in delivering justice for the O'Farrell family. This delay is compounding that injustice, and I ask the Minister to give the House a clear timeframe on the delivery of that scoping report, which is way too long overdue.
