Sinn Fein leader Mary Lou McDonald has called again for an independent public inquiry into the death of Monaghan man Shane O'Farrell in the Dail this afternoon.

She said that herself and Deputy Matt Carthy have called for this inquiry for many years now following long long delays.

Mr O'Farrell who was 23, died after a hit and run incident by a man who was on bail and had 42 previous convictions, while he was out cycling his bike in August 2011.
