A man has been denied bail while he awaits trial for allegedly robbing a credit union worker during a heist which claimed the life of Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe.
Brendan Treanor, of Castletown Road, Dundalk, Co Louth, is also accused of conspiring with others to commit burglary.
"Det Garda Adrian Donohoe was shot dead after a cash convoy he was escorting was ambushed outside Lordship Credit Union on a wet night almost ten years ago now.
Aaron Brady from Crossmaglen, Co Armagh, has since been convicted of his murder.
Brendan Treanor isn’t accused of murdering Detective Donohoe, but is alleged to have taken part in the robbery that led to his death.
His trial was due to get under way in October but it was pushed back to January next year, so he applied for bail again earlier this month.
One of the reasons submitted to the court was the fact that he has barely seen his newborn son as he has been in custody.
Given those circumstances, his barrister argued that it was an offence to his client's dignity to refuse him bail, but the judges denied his application and felt it wasn't a case where even the strictest of conditions would satisfy the concerns of the court."
