Extra gardaí deployed to Dundalk after killing of Garda Golden

An extra 25 gardaí have been deployed to Dundalk following last week’s killing of Garda Tony Golden.

The allocation comes as the priest who presided over the funeral of Garda Adrian Donohoe almost three years ago said the killing of Garda Golden has “battered” the garda force in Louth.

Fr Michael Cusack said gardaí in Dundalk has faced a “terrible assault” last week when father of three Garda Golden was shot dead as he helped a woman who was the victim of domestic violence.
