Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire (Cork South Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

On the death of Shane O'Farrell, I acknowledge that Lucia O'Farrell and the family are in the Public Gallery today.

The Taoiseach referred to the report. I have read the report and it is a sham. This was a failure across many of the agencies of the law. The report backs away from failure at every opportunity. On a number of occasions it accepts, as gospel, the words of An Garda Síochána. The report does not test it. It was many things and it took six years but it was not an investigation. I would be glad to take the Taoiseach through the individual failures in the report. It is clear to me that it should never have been a matter for GSOC because it went beyond An Garda Síochána. It is also clear to me that it is now time for a public inquiry to investigate the failures of An Garda Síochána, the Director of Public Prosecutions and other agencies.
