Commemoration brought tears, says widow of Garda Jerry McCabe

Standing side by side in the calmness of today's early morning sunshine, Ann McCabe and Anne O'Sullivan stood silent to remember the gun attack on their garda husbands 20 years ago, writes David Raleigh.

It was 6.55am, June 7, 1996, when Detective Garda Jerry McCabe and Detective Garda Ben O'Sullivan, were targeted by an IRA gang, as both officers provided an armed escort for a mail delivery van.
