Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe has been remembered on the eighth anniversary of his murder.
The 41 year old married father-of-two was shot dead during a botched robbery outside Lordship Credit Union in Bellurgan.
South Armagh man Aaron Brady was sentenced to a minimum of 40 years in October after a jury found him guilty of the murder, and the Garda investigation to track down the rest of the gang involved in the raid, is continuing.
Det. Garda Donohoe was remembered at his anniversary mass this morning in St. Joseph s Redemptorist Church in Dundalk:

A relative of a State witness who gave key testimony against garda killer Aaron Brady has been arrested over a plot to intimidate members of his own family, the Sunday Independent can reveal.
Detectives investigating a campaign of witness intimidation during the trial of Aaron Brady for the murder of Garda Adrian Donohoe made the latest significant arrest in the capital over a week ago.
The suspect is a convicted criminal and is related to a witness whose testimony was key in securing Brady s conviction of the garda s murder.
The man, who has served prison sentences for violent attacks on innocent people, was enlisted by other criminals to try and dissuade the witness from giving evidence against the garda killer, it is understood. Detectives believe the man was paid to try to convince his relative not to give evidence.
