Court hears of 'slick, highly organised' murder of Garda Adrian Donohoe

A garda was murdered during a "slick, highly organised" operation carried out for a "base criminal motive", a barrister has told the Central Criminal Court.

Opening the trial for the prosecution in the trial of Aaron Brady, Brendan Grehan SC told the jury of eight men and seven women that a gang of four raiders went "directly, without hesitation" for a garda car that was providing an escort for credit union employees carrying tens of thousands of euro to a safety deposit box.
