A plaque has been unveiled in memory of Garda Michael Reynolds, who was killed while off duty in Dublin over 40 years ago.
Gda Reynolds, 30, and he was described as "an example of courage and service" to other Gardai. At the plaque unveiling ceremony on Sunday in Clontarf Garda Station, with Gda Reynolds' family and serving members of An Garda Siochana in attendance, Commissioner Drew Harris honoured Gda Reynolds, saying he "gave the ultimate sacrifice in the pursuit of justice."
On September 11 in 1975, Gda Reynolds was off duty and out with his wife and daughter in Dublin, when he saw the armed robbery of the Bank of Ireland in Killester. The Galway man, who was unarmed, pursued the robbers to St Anne's Park where he was fatally shot.
