Last two McCabe killers to be freed from jail today
The last two men serving sentences for the killing of Detective Garda Jerry Mc Cabe 13 years ago are due to walk free this morning.
Forty-four-year-old Pearse McCauley and 52-year-old Kevin Walsh are due to be released from Castlerea Prison after serving 10-and-a-half years of their 14-year sentences for manslaughter.
Detective Garda McCabe was part of an armed escort on a cash delivery van which was ambushed by a gang linked to the Provisional IRA in Adare, Co Limerick, in June 1996.
McCauley and Walsh were among four men jailed for between 11 and 14 years for the manslaughter of the 52-year-old garda.
The authorities in the UK are seeking the extradition of McCauley, who escaped from London's Brixton Prison in 1991 while awaiting trial.
He is wanted on conspiracy to murder and explosive charges.
