I wish to speak in support Senator Norris seeking a debate on the death of Shane O'Farrell. We debated this issue on 14 June 2018 on the same day that the Dáil voted by a clear majority on the basis that the matter did warrant a public inquiry. I and others have been in correspondence with the Minister, Deputy Flanagan, since then. He said in the Seanad on 14 June last year that he would reflect on the comments of Senators, that he would reflect on the Dáil vote and that he would repeat a commitment given to Lucia O'Farrell, Shane O'Farrell's mother, and the O'Farrell family regarding the question of a further investigation.I know that Senator Norris has been proactive on the matter, as have others.
