Garda unit urged to probe prison officer assassination case

THE family of the only prison officer ever assassinated in the Republic are in talks with gardaí about reopening the murder files, it emerged yesterday.

Former Portlaoise chief prison officer Brian Stack’s widow and children insist his killers are still roaming the streets and are demanding they be brought to justice.

The father of three was shot in the back of the neck on March 25, 1983, on a busy Dublin street after leaving a boxing contest at the National Stadium.
