*A warning, today's episode contains details of domestic violence which listeners may find upsetting*
Terrorist, garda killer and prolific wife beater, Pearse McAuley’s long litany of convictions have established him as one of Ireland’s most dangerous criminals for over 30 years. The Northern Irish para-military figure made the headlines in the early 1990s for a daring escape from an English prison, but his crimes against the State, in the shooting of a garda in 1996, would wrap his name in infamy among Irish criminal history.
McAuley was part of a team that murdered Detective Garda Jerry McCabe. The garda was shot at point-blank range by an AK-47 in an attack by the Provisional IRA on June 7, 1996, outside Adare Post Office. Garda McCabe’s colleague, Detective Garda Ben O'Sullivan, was seriously injured in the attack.
