Four of the gang, Pearse McAuley, Kevin Walsh, Michael O’Neill and Jeremiah Sheehy, later went on trial for detective McCabe’s murder, however, controversially, their pleas to manslaughter were accepted by the State.
Gardai have yet to question two men whom they have for almost three decades suspected of being part of an IRA gang that murdered Limerick Detective Garda Jerry McCabe, in Adare, 27 years ago today.
The four were subsequently released after serving their sentences despite efforts by Sinn Fein to have them released early under terms of the Northern Ireland peace deal. Mr O’Dea said it was “unacceptable” that any individuals suspected of being involved in Jerry McCabe’s killing would not be arrested, no matter how much time had passed.
“Hopefully I will be if they are brought back; it is my wish that they be brought back, and I will be there to eyeball them, one hundred per cent,” said Ms McCabe. On the day of the fatal gun attack the IRA gang rammed the two detectives who were escorting a post office cash delivery van in Adare, and fired off 14 rounds from an AK47 machine gun into the garda patrol car.
“At all times we wish to pursue further avenues, and lines of enquiry, and perhaps the public can help us in that, because there are two fugitives who would have been well known in this area who have now moved elsewhere, they are not within our jurisdiction, they are not within our grasp,” Mr Harris said.
