I move amendment No. 1:

To delete all words after "to determine all admissible complaints in a timely and expeditious fashion;" and substitute the following:"— the GSOC report was delivered in a timeframe that was not acceptable, and was ultimately deficient;

— this case involved multiple failures on the part of several justice agencies of the State, resulting in Zigimantas Gradzuiska being at liberty on the date of the death of Shane O'Farrell; and

— that it is now necessary to have the actions of An Garda Síochána, the Director of Public Prosecutions, GSOC, and the courts examined in order to establish the truth as to how such failures took place, including the information-sharing systems as between those agencies; andtherefore calls on the Government to:— immediately establish a public inquiry into the death of Shane O'Farrell; and

— ensure that adequate information systems exist within the Courts Service so that courts can immediately access information in respect of sentences imposed or orders made on persons previously convicted of offences."
