Shane O'Farrell, a 23-year-old law graduate, was tragically killed in a hit-and-run by Zigimantas Gridziuska, who was on bail despite multiple previous convictions. Shane's mother, Lucia O'Farrell, has tirelessly campaigned for a full public inquiry to determine how Gridziuska was at liberty at the time of the fatal incident. Despite calls for an inquiry, a recent scoping exercise deemed it unwarranted. This case has raised alarms about the growing number of crimes committed by suspects on bail, pointing to urgent flaws in the bail system that require immediate attention and reform.
The case of Shane O'Farrell highlights significant flaws in the bail system, demonstrating how individuals with prior convictions can repeatedly evade serious consequences for their actions.
Lucia O'Farrell continues her fight for justice, arguing that the State has failed to protect the public by allowing repeat offenders like Gridziuska to remain free.
