I could be wrong on this. My understanding is that report was published in the past two days or at least was due to be published by the Minister for Justice. What we have is a thorough and comprehensive report which contains a number of important recommendations.

Judge Haughton ultimately concluded that there are no circumstances surrounding the death of Shane O'Farrell that warrant further investigation or inquiry beyond all the investigations already carried out. The judge's view is that the facts about the circumstances of Shane's sad death are clear - they are clear from the original trial and the eye-witness accounts and there has also been a Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission, GSOC, investigation - and that a further investigation or inquiry would likely result in the same outcome, which would be very hard for the family as well.
