Limerick councillors vote on McCabe issue

Two members of Limerick City Council have abstained from a vote on a motion which called on the Government to deny early release to the killers of Detective Garda Jerry McCabe.

The Mayor of Limerick, Cllr Michael Hourigan, called the special meeting amid overwhelming opposition in the city to the contentious proposal that the slain garda's killers could be released under the Belfast Agreement.
