Media coverage has again put the garda investigation into the late Evan Fitzgerald and his two friends under the spotlight.

Mr Fitzgerald, along with Shane Kinsella and Daniel Quinn Burke, were arrested in March 2024 after purchasing what Mr Fitzgerald thought were a military-grade rifle and handgun, along with ammunition.
