A ceremony will take place in Adare next Monday to mark the 25th anniversary of the killing of Detective Garda Jerry McCabe, according to the Limerick Post.
The detective, who grew up in Ballylongford, was killed by an armed IRA squad on June 7th, 1996, while escorting a post office cash delivery van through Adare.
The Minister for Justice, Heather Humphreys, who will attend the wreath laying ceremony, said Detective Garda McCabe had been brutally and callously murdered, while carrying out his sworn duty to protect the people of this State.
