Garda shot dead during robbery at Louth Credit Union(Mod warning, 1st post.)

As i mentioned on a similar thread regarding this, I hope the people who talk sh!te about the force sit up an realise just what they do for the public. Prayers (though im not a religious man) are with the family. Because at a time like this if even a prayer might bring some hope to the guards loved ones ill give it a go.

just awful stuff.

Horrible, R.I.P. Scumbags have some cheek to attempt a robbery during an escort, its a shame they werent the ones that got shot.

Spare a thought for his family and partner who have to deal with all this too.

Words fail me. Unfortunately this is what the authorities have to deal with...scum

You're right. No law & order here at all. Wild west. The rest of the country's grand though...

I wish I could be offended by that but any look at stats etc. will show just how bad it is.

Very sad indeed.

RIP

Almost Jerry McCabe all over again. Gardai escorting a cash delivery to a credit union faced with an armed gang. What odds on the gang being from the same political back ground given where it has happened i wonder?

Whomever they are regardless they have fcuked up royally and will have the entire force and state down on top of them now. Your hour of reckoning is coming you murdering pr1cks.

makes me mad. RIP to the Detective.

As much in all as I know what you mean, please do not use the tragic death of this Garda as an excuse to have a go at the government.

KwackerJack · 26-01-2013 12:07AM

We need to arm our entire force and have a no Sympathy approach towards these scumbags!!

Police in other countries are seen as harsh but it works well and people have respect.....!!

R.I.P Detective

This is the sort of news that ruins your day, and i didnt even know the man:(.

RIP.

Headshot · 26-01-2013 12:07AM

The country is gone to hell. The ****ers robbing old pensioners and now actually shooting a garda

Its about time somthing is done about this.

eviltwin · 26-01-2013 12:07AM

Thinking of the deceased and his family and colleagues tonight. Gardai get a lot of stick but when you hear something like this you realise just how brave they are. RIP.

26-01-2013 12:08AM

Tramps. Just tramps. I'm on night duty myself safe in the knowledge I'll be seeing my family tomorrow morning. Snuffing out a life over greed. Dispicable.

Are there any special laws in place for cop killers?

donvito99 · 26-01-2013 12:09AM

This comes on the day the AGSI propose to leave Croke Park, highlighting the disgraceful way Gardaí have been treated.

Yes, lots of people in the public service have taken hits, not many give there lives and suffer these hits also.

This is absolutely tragic, thoughts with his family. Maybe the government should actually give the guards what they need to be safe and do there jobs at the same time. But we'll have to wait and see exactly what the circumstances surrounding the attack.

Hope these criminals are rounded up and locked away for good.

Witcher · 26-01-2013 12:09AM

Very sorry to hear this, I respect the job the Gardai do and know several members of the force.

Pity the cnuts didn't attack a delivery being moved by the Army...that would have been an upset for them

RIP to the Garda.

26-01-2013 12:09AM

I'm not defending or condoning the things who did this but a lot of these deliveries etc. happen without Garda escorts so I doubt they were expecting any resistance or anything.

sfwcork · 26-01-2013 12:09AM

Shocking news.An innocent man left home to do his job and wont retun home.V sad news.

Rip

Hopefully the bastard will be caught

TheUsual · 26-01-2013 12:09AM

No cheap politics please.

I love how the last sentence contradicts all the rest of them.

They wouldn't attack an army escort because they are spineless scumbags. Spine less.

My thoughts are with his family, friends and workmates:(

foxinsox · 26-01-2013 12:11AM

God love them...no doubt they had a chance to surrender to the Garda but they didn't...their intentions are irrelevant..their actions are what matter.

Not attacking you btw, I get what you mean, I'm just saying that they got their chance to back down.

Stheno · 26-01-2013 12:12AM

RIP

His poor family, saying goodbye to a husband, father, brother, nephew, son tonight going off to work, now coping with a sudden violent death.

Shame

SeaFields · 26-01-2013 12:12AM

This is horrendously sad. Fcuk sake. Bastards.

Most sincere condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.

galwayrush · 26-01-2013 12:13AM

So sad, all he was doing was his job. R.I.P.
Murdering scumbag bastards, anyone witholding information on who did it are just as guilty.

Yes.

The last crowd (Jerry McCabe) served their time in pleasant Chalets ordering in take out food and drink before being released early under GFA.

They were even collected at the gate by Sinn Fein TD Martin Ferris.

Terrible news. And terrible that it might take something like this to spark a major clampdown on the type of people involved.
I'm also quite surprised about a credit union delivery at this time on a Friday.
Does anyone know if this was a joint Garda/army escort or is that only for the bigger deliveries?
