The government must establish an independent public inquiry into the death of Shane O'Farrell says Cavan/Monaghan TD Deputy Pauline Tully.
Speaking recently in the Dáil, the Sinn Fein TD called for the inquiry into the death of the Carrickmacross man, stating that nothing less will be good enough.
23 year old Shane O'Farrell was killed in 2011 in a hit-and-run incident involving a car driven by Zigimantas Gridziuska who was at the time out on continuous bail since August 2008 even though there were multiple breaches of his bail conditions.
At the time, Mr. Gridziuska had 42 previous convictions across three jurisdictions.
The local TD said this case raises very serious questions for the Garda, the Department of Justice, the Courts Service and the Director of Public
Prosecutions.
Deputy Tully said there are questions that need to be answered and they need to be investigated in an open, transparent and independent manner.
She added that what is needed and what the Minister should establish without delay is what both Houses of the Oireachtas supported, namely, a fully independent, open and transparent public inquiry.
