- Inquiry into the death of Shane O'Farrell: Motion [Private Members] (9 Jul 2024)
Michael Healy-Rae: I warmly welcome the family of the late Shane O'Farrell. I am glad they are here but I am very sorry that they are here. They should not have to be here tonight. They should not have had to be here today in the AV room, where they gave an excellent presentation. I was sorry I had to leave but I read the documents I received. It reminded me of years ago when we were here; it is like we...
- Inquiry into the death of Shane O'Farrell: Motion [Private Members] (9 Jul 2024)
Catherine Connolly: It is difficult to leave emotion out of it but we have an obligation to not be emotional and to deal with the facts. Shane O'Farrell died on 2 August 13 years ago. The family have been fighting since then for justice. That burden should not be on the family's shoulders. They should have been able to grieve the loss of their beautiful son, who had graduated with a first in his master's....
- Inquiry into the death of Shane O'Farrell: Motion [Private Members] (9 Jul 2024)
Mattie McGrath: I thank Sinn Féin for tabling this motion. I welcome Lucia, her husband, their daughter, family and others. I commend her from the bottom of my heart on her tenacity, energy, efficiency and sterling, detailed forensic work in this case. It must be unbearable for her to have lost her wonderful son. He was killed, or murdered as I said before, so callously. She has had to do this work...

- Inquiry into the death of Shane O'Farrell: Motion [Private Members] (9 Jul 2024)
Mattie McGrath: Those are only the ones that I am dealing with myself. Other Deputies have mentioned many others that are going on. I salute all the Deputies who have spoken here tonight. It behoves us as elected Members of this Dáil to live up to our Constitution and the freedoms that were fought for by those gallant men, or else we should pack up and go home, and let some dictator take it over....
- Inquiry into the death of Shane O'Farrell: Motion [Private Members] (9 Jul 2024)
Peadar Tóibín: I welcome the family of Shane O'Farrell to the Dáil Gallery today. I commend them on the massive campaign they have run over the last number of years in the face of such resistance by the political establishment in this country. To lose a son is a disaster for any parent. It is an excruciating pain for a parent to have to bury a child. It is unimaginable, and indeed most of us here...

Bríd Smith: I say to the Minister and to the family in the Gallery that there is very little left to be said as eloquently as the other Deputies have said it. I feel there is not a lot for me to add because I could not agree more with them. Absolutely everything that has been said, and has been covered here, has been covered time and again in this House in relation to Shane O'Farrell. I thank Deputy...
- Inquiry into the death of Shane O'Farrell: Motion [Private Members] (9 Jul 2024)
Catherine Murphy: I thank Sinn Féin for bringing forward this really important motion tonight. Like others, I welcome the O'Farrell family and say I am sorry that you must continue to campaign for justice for Shane. I could begin by saying "I know that you were forced to endure a living nightmare which began when your loved ones were so cruelly snatched from you" but I must confess they would not be my...
- Inquiry into the death of Shane O'Farrell: Motion [Private Members] (9 Jul 2024)
Réada Cronin: The Shane O'Farrell case has a special place in people's hearts on this island because of the way his family has fought for justice for their son. I welcome the O'Farrell family to the Dáil. I am sorry I could not stay for the whole of the presentation in the audiovisual room today, but I have met Lucia O'Farrell before and I remember a determined woman when I meet one. I recognise...
- Inquiry into the death of Shane O'Farrell: Motion [Private Members] (9 Jul 2024)
Seán Crowe: The events that led to the death of Shane O'Farrell were a series of failures by the authorities. On 2 August 2011, Shane O'Farrell was killed while cycling home when he was struck by a car driven by a man who was out on bail and should have been in jail. I commend the family of Shane O'Farrell on their fight for justice and truth. I have met them several times and have always admired...
- Inquiry into the death of Shane O'Farrell: Motion [Private Members] (9 Jul 2024)
Brendan Howlin: I commend Sinn Féin on bringing this really important issue before us for debate again. Like others, I acknowledge the presence in the Gallery of the O'Farrell family, whose thirst for justice is boundless and whose determination makes it incumbent on all of us to respond in kind. The justice system of any nation is the bedrock on which citizens rely for their basic liberty and...
