Man told gardaí ‘Jerry McCabe got what he deserved’

A 26-year-old Limerick man told gardaí that “McCabe is no loss” and shouted “Ben O’Sullivan and Jerry McCabe got what they deserved”.

At Ennis District Court, Garda Hilda Moloney said that Shane Larkin made his comments at Killaloe Garda Station one day after a memorial concert last May to mark the 20th anniversary of an IRA gang shooting Det Garda Jerry McCabe dead and seriously wounding Det Garda Ben O’Sullivan.

Garda Moloney told the court that Mr Larkin of Cahermorry, Ballyneety, Limerick, made his comments after starting to strip off at Killaloe Garda Station following his arrest.
