Solicitor for Aoife Johnston's family continues call for inquiry and says report into her death was 'waste of time'

Damien Tansey criticized the limitations of the report by former Chief Justice Frank Clarke, stating that it failed to provide a 'truthful account of what happened' due to its constraints. He emphasized that Mr. Clarke was unable to make definitive findings or resolve conflicting accounts related to Aoife's tragedy.

Aoife's family continues to seek answers through a statutory inquiry, which Mr. Tansey believes is crucial for accountability. He pointed out that contrary to what has been suggested, such inquiries do not necessarily have to take years to conclude.

Outgoing Health Minister Stephen Donnelly has expressed his concerns about a statutory inquiry, saying it might be 'a very legalistic approach' that could prolong the process. However, Tansey remains hopeful about a more efficient resolution.
