I must now deal with a postponed division relating to the motion regarding the death of Shane O'Farrell. On Tuesday, 12 June 2018, on the question that the amendment to the motion be agreed to, a division was claimed and in accordance with Standing Order 70(2), that division must be taken now.

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."

In view of the fact the Fianna Fáil Party is not nominating tellers, and having regard to Standing Order 72, when one party fails to provide tellers, it is considered that the proposal is carried. I deem amendment No. 1 carried.

I move amendment No. 3:

To insert the following after "orders made on persons previously convicted of offences.":"— ensure that any inquiry should extend to the information-sharing systems between the Garda, the Director of Public Prosecutions and the courts;

— ensure that any inquiry should extend to the information-sharing systems within the judicial system; and

— ensure that any inquiry should be held in public to restore confidence in the Department of Justice and Equality and to ensure that, in the public interest, they should be investigated thoroughly, comprehensively and transparently."
