The family of Shane O'Farrell, who earlier this year received a state apology related to his killing, "reject" that Fine Gael presidential candidate Heather Humphreys had "done all she could" to help their campaign.

The 23-year-old cyclist died in August 2011. He was cycling home when he was struck by a car driven by Zigimantas Gridziuska, near Carrickmacross in Co Monaghan. At the time of Mr O'Farrell’s death, he was on bail in connection with a number of separate incidents.
