George Nkencho was shot dead by an armed garda in his family's front garden on 30 December 2020. He was shot five times - twice in the back. Yesterday, we learnt that the garda who shot him will not stand trial. George's grieving mother, his sisters and brothers, a working class migrant family, will now have to fight a long and hard battle for justice - even for basic information - as many others have had to in the past.

On Tuesday, the State apologised to the Stardust families. The House rose in standing ovation and everyone said, "Never again". Yet, just one day later, the State appears to many to be doing it all over again.
