O’Toole says Gardaí must learn lessons from Abbeylara

The new Head of the Garda Inspectorate has said it is important that the force learns lessons from the killing of John Carthy in Abbeylara, Co Longford, six years ago.

The 27-year-old, who suffered from depression, was shot dead by armed gardaí following a 24-hour siege at his home in April 2000.
