Fianna Fáil Leader Micheál Martin has offered his condolences to the family of the young PSNI officer killed in a road crash in Derry last night.
Deputy Martin commented, “I want to offer my sincere sympathies on behalf of the Fianna Fáil organisation to the family of the 27 year old officer who lost her life in Derry last night, to Chief Constable Matt Baggot, Minister David Forde and all her colleagues at this very sad time.
“This deeply tragic incident, in which two other officers were also injured, serves as another reminder of the sacrifice men and women on this island make every day in serving on the frontline in our emergency services.
“There is a strong and deepening relationship between the Gardaí and the PSNI and I know the thoughts and prayers of gardaí across the country will be with the officer’s family and her colleagues at this time.”
