A Dail committee heard from the Garda Commissioner Drew Harris yesterday.
A Dail committee has heard Gardaí engaged in a 'controlled delivery' of arms to Evan Fitzgerald, the man who died in the shopping centre shooting in Carlow earlier this month.
The 22 year old from Kiltegan in County Wicklow was out on bail at the time, after being arrested last year for possession of firearms.
Labour's Alan Kelly says he asked Garda Commissioner Drew Harris at the Oireachtas Justice Committee, about the investigation leading up to that arrest - and how the guns had come into his possession:
The Garda Commissioner says the shooting in a shopping centre in Carlow was ‘an extraordinary event’.
Drew Harris says the seizure of ammunition during Evan’s arrest last year was done in a controlled way.
He said gardai didn’t anticipate what happened in Carlow:
