Commissioner defends progress of Donohoe investigation
The Garda Commissioner has defended the progress of the investigation into the murder of Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe, who was shot dead during an armed robbery outside Dundalk in 2013.
Nóirín O'Sullivan said she accepts that the length of time the investigation is taking can be frustrating for family, friends and colleagues but she said mistakes cannot be made.
She also said that the force remains determined to bring the perpetrators to justice and renewed the appeal for information on the crime.
The commissioner was speaking at a ceremony at the Garda College in Templemore where a Gold Scott medal for bravery was posthumously awarded to Detective Donohoe.
Detective Donohoe's widow Caroline accepted the award on behalf of her late husband.
His colleague Joseph Ryan, who was held at gunpoint by two gang members, was also awarded a Scott medal for bravery.
