Family still waiting for a ‘new era’ of justice

If there is a "new era" in the Department of Justice — as promised by Minister Frances Fitzgerald when she took over the troubled portfolio — then Lucia O’Farrell can’t see it.

Left distraught since the death of her son in a hit and run in 2011, she is finding her fight for justice as frustrating as ever.

Shane O’Farrell, 23, was hit by a car on the N2 Dublin to Derry road in Monaghan sometime after 10pm on August 2, 2011.
