I met Shane's mother, Lucia, four or five months ago. I spoke to her at length, as the Minister and the Taoiseach have. To say I was shocked about what happened to her son is an understatement. There is a lot of evidence and paperwork to show there was a litany of mistakes and failures by everybody - the police, the Judiciary and the Department of Justice and Equality. Shane would still be here if not for those failures. We cannot bring Shane back. Lucia knows that. There has been a serious miscarriage of justice. Shane would still be alive had it not been for the failures of the people I have mentioned. The family deserve at least an independent inquiry. Everybody's reputation is on the line here. Lucia knows Shane will not come back but the family deserves justice for Shane and a public inquiry.
