Garda ‘left open to repeating’ Abbeylara
An armed man, John Carthy, who suffered from manic depression, was shot dead by gardaí during a siege at Abbeylara, Co Longford, in April 2000.
A report by the Garda Inspectorate on Wednesday found that key, and urgent, recommendations it made in a February 2007 report, based on the Barr Tribunal into Abbeylara, had still not been implemented, despite a deadline of June 2008.
