Final Report of the Independent Scoping Exercise into the Circumstances surrounding the Death of Mr. Shane O'Farrell: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2023-10-17
============================================================

Matt Carthy (SF), Cavan-Monaghan

Much of this debate centred around a previous decision of both Houses of the Oireachtas. Tonight, we had a debate with 22 speakers, 21 of whom reiterated the need for the implementation of that report and one, being the Minister, said that she refuses to do that. What options are open to the House in the case where a clear decision of the House is completely disregarded by the Government and the Minister has come before us to tell us that she will not implement it?
