Limerick County Council today opened a Book of Condolences in memory of Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe, who was killed in the line of duty in County Louth on Friday.

Members of the public are being invited to sign the Book which will remain at Limerick County Hall in Dooradoyle from 9.30am to 4.30pm each weekday up to and including Friday, 8 February 2013.

The Book of Condolences was officially opened this afternoon by Cathaoirleach of Limerick County Council, Councillor Jerome Scanlan. The Cathaoirleach described the killing of Garda Donohue as “an abhorrent crime”.

He added: “There is no greater crime than the shooting dead of an individual tasked with protecting members of the public, in this case a Garda carrying out his day-to-day duties in County Louth. I would ask people to sign the Book of Condolences as a sign of their rejection of such violence, and also as a mark of sympathy with Garda Donohue’s family and his colleagues in An Garda Síochána.”
