I second Senator Norris's proposal to amend the Order of Business. I do not intend going into any great detail on Shane O'Farrell because I hope we will have the support of the House to make that amendment. Investigations are needed into his untimely death. I support the family's request for a commission of investigation into his death to be carried out. I acknowledge the enormous work that Fianna Fáil's Deputy Jim O'Callaghan has done on this. He spoke in the Dáil in great detail on 12 March 2018 and has, along with Senator Norris and others, championed the case. I ask Members to reference his words if we have this debate. His contribution in the Dáil was succinct and clearly set out a compelling case for the Government to act. I am happy to second the amendment and I hope that colleagues support this move.
