An Garda Síochána are carrying out a number of searches in the Carlingford area- following on from searches carried out by PSNI in south Armagh earlier in the month.

Detective Donohoe was shot dead as he confronted armed robbers at Lordship Credit Union in Co Louth, close to the Irish border on 25 January.

The 41-year-old was the first Garda to be killed in 17 years. He had not drawn his weapon when he was shot in the head by an assailant.

His colleague Detective Joe Ryan was held at gunpoint during the incident, where at least four men stole €4,000.

A burnt-out Volkswagen Passat, thought to have been the getaway vehicle, was discovered near a forest on Cumsons Road, a back road off the main A29 from Newtownhamilton to Keady in south Armagh.

A number of rewards for information remain in place, including a reward of €50,000 offered by the Irish League of Credit Unions.

PSNI and Gardaí have renewed their appeal to members of the public to come forward with any information in relation to the murder.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact detectives in PSNI on 0845 600 8000 or detectives in An Garda Síochána on 042 9388470.

Or alternatively, contact the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or the Garda Confidential Number 1800 666 111.
