The widow of Detective Garda Jerry McCabe, who was murdered by an IRA gang 25 years ago today, has called on gardaí to redouble their efforts in bringing two fugitive members of the gang to justice.

Ann McCabe was speaking after a commemoration ceremony in Co Limerick this morning to mark the 25th anniversary of his death. She said “evil men” took her husband’s life and seriously wounded his colleague Detective Garda Ben O’Sullivan in the atrocity, on Main Street Adare, Co Limerick, on June 7, 1996.
