McCabe family has ‘no interest’ in killer’s release

THE widow of Detective Garda Jerry McCabe will be celebrating her grandson’s Holy Communion on the day the first of her husband’s killers is released from prison.

The Irish Examiner yesterday revealed that Michael O’Neill is scheduled for release on May 17, having served just eight years of his 11-year sentence.

But a spokesman for the McCabe family said yesterday they had no issue with O’Neill’s early release, and that their focus would be elsewhere on the day.
