a young man whos life was taking by the garda. An Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern made a public apology to the Carthy family on behalf of the Irish government. The Minister for Justice, Michael McDowell, admitted that the Carthy family was entitled to a profound expression of regret from the Irish State. Garda Ombudsman Commission member, Conor Brady, accepted that the Barr report outlined an unspeakable catalogue of personal failure by individual Gardaí and expressing his view that it was disturbing to see some Gardaí involved in a culture of cover up and circling the wagons.
The Garda Commissioner has reportedly apologised to the family of John Carthy over the fatal shooting of the 27-year-old in Co Longford. Mr Carthy was shot dead by armed gardaí following a 24-hour siege at his home in Abbeylara in April 2000.
the Barr Tribunal into the incident criticised a litany of failures by gardaí during the stand-off, saying the scene commanders were "primarily responsible".
Reports say the Carthy family have confirmed that they have received an apology from Garda Commissioner Noel Conroy in which he stated he was "truly apologetic for the loss of John's life".
