I was saddened and disgusted by the cold blooded murder of Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe last Friday. He died in the line of duty, serving his community and country. My sincere sympathies go out to his family, friends and colleagues. May he rest in peace.

There will be a state funeral today to pay tribute to Garda Donohue.  For those who cannot attend but would like to express their sympathy there is a book of condolence at Dublin’s Mansion House. The book of condolence will be available for signing by members of the public today Wednesday 30th January from 10.00am to 8pm.

The Irish League of Credit Unions has offered a reward of €50,000 for information on the murder of Detective Garda Adrian Donohue. Anyone with information is asked to phone the confidential line, 1800 666111.
