Pressure mounts to reverse McCabe killers deal

PRESSURE was mounting on the Government last night to row back on its decision to sanction the release of Detective Garda Jerry McCabe’s killers as part of a deal on the North that may be secured on Wednesday.

Garda representatives from the Limerick division will meet in Adare today the village where the detective died in a hail of bullets eight years ago to discuss the Government's controversial decision.

Garda Representative Association president Dermot O'Donnell said: "Detective McCabe's former colleagues in Limerick share the deep hurt felt by his widow, Anne McCabe, at hearing the news of the possible release through the media."
