This week marked the 37th anniversary of the killing of trainee Garda Gary Sheean and Priave Patrick Kelly in Deradda Woods, Co Leitrim.
Fianna Fáil Senator Robbie Gallagher said the families of both men are entitled to the truth.
Speaking in the Seanad on Thursday, December 17 he said, This week marks the 37th anniversary of the murders of trainee garda Gary Sheehan and Private Patrick Kelly. They were both killed by the Provisional IRA in Derrada Woods in County Leitrim in 1983 while trying to rescue the businessman Mr. Don Tidey. There was no justification for the murder of these two young innocent men or, indeed, for the kidnapping of Mr. Don Tidey.
