In 2018, this House supported a motion calling for the establishment of a public inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the death of Shane O'Farrell and the actions of State agencies before and after his death. Rather than delivering that public inquiry, the Taoiseach's Government at the time initiated a scoping exercise that nobody had sought in 2019 for which a report still has not been published. It appears from extracts which were provided to RTÉ's "Prime Time" that the only outworking of that exercise has been to delay further the truth in this case from emerging and to exacerbate the pain and hurt to the O'Farrell family. Will the Government now enact the decisions of both Houses of the Oireachtas and establish a full public inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the death of Shane O'Farrell?

I could be wrong on this. My understanding is that report was published in the past two days or at least was due to be published by the Minister for Justice. What we have is a thorough and comprehensive report which contains a number of important recommendations.

Judge Haughton ultimately concluded that there are no circumstances surrounding the death of Shane O'Farrell that warrant further investigation or inquiry beyond all the investigations already carried out. The judge's view is that the facts about the circumstances of Shane's sad death are clear - they are clear from the original trial and the eye-witness accounts and there has also been a Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission, GSOC, investigation - and that a further investigation or inquiry would likely result in the same outcome, which would be very hard for the family as well.
