Hannah O’Farrell

Hannah O’Farrell is the sister of Shane O’Farrell, a law graduate who was tragically killed in a hit-and-run incident in 2011. Recently, she and her family were present during a Dáil debate in which Minister for Justice Jim O’Callaghan issued a formal State apology to them, acknowledging the failings of the criminal justice system in protecting Shane. Hannah has been vocal about the need for transparency from State agencies and has urged that families of victims should be treated with respect and their questions answered promptly. Her advocacy reflects her determination to seek justice for her brother and to hold institutions accountable for their actions.
