16 Sep 2024Tá26. Notices of Motion“That Monaghan County Council welcomes the recent vote passed by the Dail calling for a Public Inquiry into the death of Carrickmacross man, Shane O’Farrell, and we call on the Minister for Justice to immediately put in place that Inquiry. Monaghan County Council notes that a similar motion was passed previously and was never delivered upon; we also note, with concern, that Government have decided to refer the report of the previous scoping exercise to the Oireachtas Justice Committee, instead of immediately initiating a Public Inquiry”.Carried 10–0
