The widow of Detective Garda Jerry McCabe is calling on Gardaí to bring two members of the gang that killed him to justice.

Detective Garda McCabe, who grew up in Ballylongford, was shot dead by the IRA during an attempted robbery in Adare, Co Limerick 25 years ago today.

Four men served prison sentences after pleading guilty to his manslaughter, but two other members of the gang are at large and believed to be living in Spain and South America.
