Shane’s mother Lucia Farrell has asked the Garda to clarify this but has so far received no answer from the authorities.
Shane was killed in a hit and run incident which has been the subject of calls for a public inquiry and is presently still under investigation with GSOC after six years.
Lucia has campaigned to raise awareness of Shane’s death and the subsequent Garda investigation and criminal proceedings.
Deputy Smith stated: “The state has treated the family of Shane very poorly and failed them on a number of occasions. They deserve an answer to the simple question was Shane’s case one of those misclassified or not?”
