Mother still waiting for justice a decade after son was killed on bike

Law graduate Shane O'Farrell was hit by a driver out on bail when cycling near his home in Carrickmacross in 2011

The family of Shane O’Farrell who was killed in a hit and run in Co Monaghan on August 2, 2011. The full circumstances leading to the fatal accident remain unresolved.

ON August 2, Shane O’Farrell will be dead 10 years. He was on the cusp of completing his education and starting a new phase of his young life when he was killed by a hit-and-run driver outside Carrickmacross in Monaghan.

A tenth anniversary of this nature is difficult on any family, but when the full circumstances leading to the fatal accident remain unresolved, the pain is inevitably more acute.
