Gardaí demand explanation for McCabe killers release claim

The Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors have demanded an explanation from the Government over claims that that the IRA killers of garda Jerry McCabe were to be released from prison under the aborted peace deal that was supposed to restart the peace process last October.

“We are outraged that we have to learn from media reports that some sort of a ‘deal’ appears to have been done and that the killers of Jerry McCabe are to qualify for early release under the Good Friday Agreement,” AGSI president Joe Dirwan said.
