Unfortunately, there is no current investigation because gardaí have completed their deliberations and GSOC has completed its deliberations. This event took place 11 years ago. The man who was driving the car that killed Shane O'Farrell should have been in prison at the time. He had been stopped in his car by gardaí about a half an hour before the incident. He was in breach of multiple bail conditions in several court jurisdictions. One of his bail conditions was that he was supposed to sign on daily at a Garda station. He was actually imprisoned as a result of a court judgment in Newry. There are lots of questions to be answered. In cases like that, where families have serious questions that need to be answered and when they feel that gardaí have not been upfront and where GSOC has not been able to identify the reasons for those failures, what does Mr. Drew consider to be the most appropriate mechanism for those families to get the answers they are looking for?
