Wife of murdered garda seeks damages

The wife of murdered Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe has reportedly lodged an application under the Garda Compensation Scheme.

Caroline Donohoe is believed to have filed her application with the High Court under the scheme, which is set up for family members of deceased gardaí as well as officers injured on duty.

The partners of gardaí killed in the line of duty are entitled to apply for compensation on their own behalf and their children’s.
