MORE THAN 140 Gardaí and PSNI officers ran the Dublin City Marathon today in memory of Garda Tony Golden.
The 36-year-old father-of-three was shot dead while responding to a domestic abuse case at a house in Co Louth earlier this month.
Almost 11,000 Irish and 4,500 international competitors, from 62 countries, took part in today’s marathon.
An Garda Síochana tweeted this photo of the group before the run this morning:
The tweet has been retweeted over 90 times and received more than 250 favourites.
It also received a lot of positive comments and the Garda account said, “Gone but not forgotten” when responding to one individual.
Garda Golden’s killer, Adrian Crevan Mackin, also shot and seriously injured his 21-year-old girlfriend before turning the gun on himself.
Mackin was on bail after being charged with membership of an illegal organisation, specifically the IRA, at the time of the attack.
Just eight people attended his funeral, some of whom were police officials. Mackin’s parents, who live in Australia, didn’t make the journey home for it.
An additional 25 gardaí have been assigned to the Dundalk Garda division in the aftermath of Garda Golden’s murder.

Was the name ever released of the big company that was hit by the ransomware hack ever released and the sum they paid?
I thought a private company was brought in to do the clean up
The defence forces could have retained the personnel that they lost through stupidity on their own behalf in not granting these personnel with an extra €20 in tech pay which they were value for money so the same were head hunted by private companies.
@Noel O’Neill: €20 a week. You think people are leaving over €20 a week?
A CIS technician can be on as low as 40k in the DF, while their counterparts in private sector are getting 80k plus.
€20 a week…. That gave me a giggle….
It only takes one rogue machine to bring a whole network down. As long as the antvirus software is kept continuously up to date, systems shouldn’t be compromised.
@Mike Dunne: Seriously you think anti virus works like that. It is a game of cat and mouse.
You cant have an antivirus program that stops a virus it does not know. Hence the updates.
have your say
