I was shocked to hear of the shooting dead of a man tonight in a pub in Cabra. This is a truly awful event and the people of Cabra are horrified.

As Chair of the Dublin Central Joint Policing Committee and founding member of the Cabra Community Policing Forum I know the good work the local gardai do with the local community to ensure a safe community for all.

This cold blooded murder comes as a huge shock to the local community and undermines the good work being done, day in and day out, and sends the wrong message about Cabra.

The local Gardai are on the case but Minister Shatter needs to wake-up and realise that the Gardai are fighting serious crime and deserve to be provided with adequate resources to tackle serious crime. 

Anybody with any information should contact Cabra Garda Station on 01 666 7400.  Mary
