Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

Cuirim fáilte roimh theaghlach O'Farrell fosta. I commend the O'Farrell family, in particular Lucia for her resilience and tenacity. Like many other citizens who have suffered an injustice, the O'Farrells have had to take on the State and been put through the ringer for the past six years or so. The Taoiseach is aware of the case. In a letter to me last September he wrote that, once GSOC had completed its work, the Minister for Justice and Equality would consider what action would be open to him. When the family met the former Taoiseach, Deputy Enda Kenny, he did not rule out a public inquiry once GSOC's report had been completed. The O'Farrells have, rightly, rejected that report which they did not receive until a year after it had been completed. Will the Taoiseach meet the O'Farrell family? Will the Government establish a public inquiry? Thirty Members of the Oireachtas support the establishment of such a public inquiry. The role of the Director of Public Prosecutions is key, just as it was in the case of the killing of Garda Tony Golden.
