This week four years ago, 41 year old Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe who was shot dead while guarding a cash escort outside Lordship Credit Union in County Louth. Adrian, a young man from County Cavan, found himself in County Louth as a member of the Garda, where he embodied everything that was good about An Garda Síochána. He totally immersed himself in his new home and got heavily involved in all aspects of community life. He was a leading light in the local GAA club. He put down roots there, met his wife, Caroline, and was raising his two young children. Unfortunately, that is where the story ends. Today, I make a special appeal to anyone out there who may have information on this brutal killing, as a result of which his wife Caroline has been left without a husband and their two young children have been left without a father. I appeal to anybody with even the smallest piece of information which he or she might feel is insignificant to come forward and contact Dundalk Garda station or the Garda confidential telephone number 1800 666111. It should also be noted the Irish League of Credit Unions has offered a reward of €50,000 to anyone who might bring forward information that would lead to a prosecution in the case. Somebody out there knows something. It is never too late to do the right thing and I earnestly appeal to people to come forward. If they are not comfortable contacting the Garda they should contact someone in authority who might bring forward the information.
