Evan Fitzgerald died in Carlow Shopping Centre on Sunday, 1 June. As we all know, unfortunately, his passing was a very tragic situation. The Garda said he was a young man with some health issues. He was on bail awaiting a court case involving charges for firearm offences. He has now passed and the case has obviously passed with him. What was the provenance of the guns bought off the dark web by the deceased young man? Where did they come from? Was this a controlled delivery of guns and ammunition? Did undercover gardaí engage face-to-face with this young man prior to the delivery of guns and ammunition? Were any other strategies considered in this scenario given the profile of the young man and the fact that he had been met by gardaí?
