Gardai have reacted furiously over this thug walking free – just 45 days after he was caged for years for a brutal attack on a member of the force.
Gavin Quinn was released from prison on Wednesday afternoon – and celebrated his freedom with members of his family. His release came despite him being given a two and a half year jail term for the shocking attack on Garda Alan Murphy in which the officer thought he was going to die.
Sources said gardai in Dublin have been left infuriated by his release, and The Star has also established that Garda Murphy had no idea that Quinn (28) was a free man – until a colleague told him late on Wednesday night. “It is an absolute disgrace that Quinn is out so soon,” one of Gda Murphy’s colleagues said last night.
