Commission finds 1998 garda shooting of Ronan MacLochlainn in Wicklow was justified

Mr MacLochlainn was killed during an attempted armed robbery of a Securicor van in Ashford, Co Wicklow in May 1998.

The final report from the MacLochlainn Commission of Investigation into the fatal shooting of Ronan MacLochlainn by members of An Garda Síochána has found that the shooting was justified.

However, the report found that there were "serious deficiencies" in the garda investigation into the incident, as well as in relation to record keeping, the disclosure of information, and other matters.
