Yeah I was at the funeral today, saddest thing I've ever had to go through. Was really poignant. Yes Garda Bernard McLoughlin was there with, who I think was his girlfriend?! How blessed must she feel to have him still with her? Great send-off for a true hero and overall great neighbour/friend.

May you rest in peace Gary. x

Yes, I know the feeling. It's horrible. Been to two in London. One suicide (BTP) & one killed on his way to work (Early Turn). Both very good friends of mine. The latter was on my team as well....

might i add at this the saddest of times how deeply saddened i am by this, on the night of this accident there was 3 car accidents in and around the buncrana area on saturday....on the 2nd which happened between 5.30-6.00PM, i couldn't get through to my fiancee, he was on his way to coach his basketball team in Donegal Town, and his mobile was off which is totally out of charcter for him and for the next hour and a half the fear i went through was unimaginable, to think that the person i absolutly loved and adored that something had happened to him,was heart-breaking. I finally mustered up the courage to ring the Gardai at our Buncrana station who was more than helpful as they always are, and they told me that it was two cars involved in the accident...although i want to tell you now that it didn't help me any as i have had a cousin and uncle and 6 friends killed in car accidents. I know that seems more than most, but what can you do. As for Garda Gary McLoughlin my absolute heartfelt sympathies go out to his girlfriend Shauna, his family and all his friends in Leitrim, Buncrana and recently Letterkenny, all his colleagues...and especially his family, what they must be going through(in this season especially) is unbearable i imagine...

So for you Garda Gary Mc Loughlin may you rest in peace, and look down on all your colleauges and give them the strength to carry on.

Look on your family and give them the strength to carry on....

And look on your girlfriend Shauna, and give her the courage and strength to continue on in her life.

Just noticed that my local Station recently had a flag pole put up, and it was rightly flying at half mast today.

RIP Gary,

A tragic loss like Gardaí Mc Callion, Tighe, Padden, Mc Intyre, Rice, Harmon, Griffin and all those other Gardai who have lost their lives on our roads in the course of their duty.

R.I.P. thought this was so upsetting when i heard it,
deepest sympathies to gary's family and colleagues

So its Christmas day. A time for us all to reflect on the year gone by, be with our loved ones and relatives and generally have a good time. A day where some of us will be reflecting on sad and happy events of the year gone by.

For some, this Christmas will be a very lonely and sad one. Gary's family, friends and loved ones (especially his girlfriend) will be spending their first Christmas without him. I think we should all take a moment this Christmas to remember Garda McLoughlin and others like him who have died in the line of duty. Its a tough time for any family who have lost a loved one, but especially so for those who knew and loved Gary.

I hope he is resting in peace and I hope his loved ones are doing the best they can during this tough period of their life. Its not going to be easy for them. Spare a quick prayer or thought for them during this time, if you can.

I think that is totally unacceptable. It should have been at least manslaughter. Surely Garda Mc Loughlin deserves more than that

Terrontress · 16-03-2012, 06:39

The guy who did it has escaped from gaol.

Obviously has no remorse whatsoever. Doesn't believe in serving his sentence, in spite of its undue leniency.

As above, the scumbag has escaped from his minimum security 'prison'.

Dickerty · 16-03-2012, 09:04

What is going on in this country! A serial offender, in prison for killing a Garda, and he is put in an open prison, where he proceeds to walk free???

Why was he put in Cavan, so he could be close to his family in Donegal? Put him in Castlerea so.

And he gets 7 years for this, while Paul Begley (fruit and veg importer) gets 6 years for tax evasion on importing garlic!!!

Hell in a hand-basket...

Yeboah · 16-03-2012, 09:20

Does this guy have something like 90 plus previous convictions...Even if he had none why was he put in a minimun security prison/hotel...Id sooner he did half his sentence doing proper time but looks like he couldnt even hack Cavan !!!
