Deputy McEntee is the fifth Minister for Justice since the fateful day in question, 2 August 2011. Since then, there has been an internal investigation into what happened — an internal Garda inquiry into the systemic failures. It was quashed subsequently, which throws up more questions than ever before on the events surrounding Shane’s death. Many people watching this debate will be asking what happened. Why, in the circumstances, was Shane O’Farrell failed by the justice system? I respectfully put it to the Minister that only a public inquiry will result in the truth and justice the family is seeking.
