Plea for help over bomb at garda’s home

Gardaí have turned to the public for help in relation to the planting of a bomb at the home of a serving garda in Leitrim last year.

Detectives said the device, if it had exploded, could have resulted in the death of the garda, members of his family or passersby.

The appeal was made on the same day as a bomb went off in a Wicklow village, seriously damaging two cars.
