Shane O'Farrell was just 23 years old when he was killed in a hit and run. Shane was an exceptional young man and dearly loved by his family and his friends. He had a bright future ahead of him and this was cruelly cut short. The car the assailant was driving was pulled over by gardaí an hour before the incident. Inexplicably, the driver was allowed to continue despite having no insurance, multiple breaches of bail conditions and warrants out for his arrest. Less than an hour later, Shane had been killed. Shane's family have been fighting for truth, justice and answers for almost 13 years now. When will the Government establish an independent public inquiry into the death of Shane?
