The Garda Representative Association (GRA) has welcomed last Friday's statement from the Taoiseach on the killers of Det Garda Jerry McCabe.
The GRA said it welcomed "reassurances given in relation to the non-release of the killers of Det Garda Jerry McCabe ahead of their full custodial sentences".
The Taoiseach said the early release from jail of the killers of the men will not be part of any future negotiations with Sinn Féin toward a comprehensive deal on the North.
