Public Inquiries
Dail Éireann — 2023-02-16
============================================================

Gino Kenny (PBP), Dublin Mid-West

I thank the Minister. Many of us have spoken about Shane O'Farrell, who was killed 12 years ago. He should be alive today, if it was not for the systemic failure of our judicial system regarding what happened on that day. Shane and his family continue to be failed concerning that fatal day. The injustice lingers. Not only does grief linger but also injustice in the context of that family calling for a public inquiry into Shane's death. The more I look back over and observe the last few years in respect of how the report from Judge Haughton has been dealt with, nothing but a public inquiry will do in respect of Shane's death.
