Jerry McCabe widow in Bertie snub claims

The widow of Detective Garda Jerry McCabe claims former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern snubbed her a number of times as she sought help to keep her husband’s killers behind bars.

In an interview with the Limerick Life newspaper, 20 years on from Det McCabe’s murder, Ann McCabe claimed Mr Ahern snubbed her at the White House in 2005.

She also claimed Mr Ahern ignored her when they both attended a VIP lounge at Dublin Airport after her husband’s slaying by an IRA gang, in June 1996.
