Justice Minister @OCallaghanJim announces a review of bail laws, as he delivers an apology on behalf of the Gov to the family of Shane O’Farrell who was killed in a hit and run in 2011 by a driver who was out on bail and had 30 offences while on bail @Justiceforsof

[Mary Lou McDonald @MaryLouMcDonald]

This is a day of vindication for the family of Shane O'Farrell.

For fourteen long years they fought for truth and justice for their beloved son and brother. It's shameful that it has taken so long for this apology to be made.

Shane O'Farrell mattered. His life mattered. The O'Farrell family never gave up. We salute their bravery. Today is a day for them. Today is a day for Shane.

Apology to Shane O'Farrell and his family #JusticeForShane

Lucia O'Farrell painted a picture of a State and a system that was rotten - @JMcGuinnessTD

The judiciary, the DPP and the Gardai have a lot to answer for.

A statement on the Shane O’Farrell case and the failures of our bail system. Shane was tragically killed in a hit-and-run incident in 2011 at just 23 years old by a man who was out on bail.

Thinking of Shane O’Farrell’s family as a Dáil public apology is expected to be made this week. I knew Shane from college, he was such a smart, kind person & his death such a huge loss.

Shane was cycling home in 2011 when he was struck by a car driven by Zigimantas Gradzuiska near Carrickmacross in Co Monaghan.
