‘Your dad was one of the bravest’ - Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe given posthumous award

People living near Dundalk may hold vital clues which could bring the killers of Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe to justice, Garda Commissioner Nóirín O’Sullivan has said.

Speaking at Templemore College yesterday, where Det Garda Donohoe, 44, was awarded a gold Scott Medal posthumously, Ms O’Sullivan said the fact the investigation had been ongoing for more than three years was frustrating.

Five men suspected of carrying out the murder during a robbery at Lordship Credit Union, near Dundalk, on January 25, 2013 are known to gardaí.
