This is a day of vindication for the family of Shane O'Farrell.
For fourteen long years they fought for truth and justice for their beloved son and brother. It's shameful that it has taken so long for this apology to be made.
Shane O'Farrell mattered. His life mattered. The O'Farrell family never gave up. We salute their bravery. Today is a day for them. Today is a day for Shane.

A statement on the Shane O’Farrell case and the failures of our bail system. Shane was tragically killed in a hit-and-run incident in 2011 at just 23 years old by a man who was out on bail.
Thinking of Shane O’Farrell’s family as a Dáil public apology is expected to be made this week. I knew Shane from college, he was such a smart, kind person & his death such a huge loss.
