Police say the New IRA are most likely to be behind the killing.
Speaking on Tipp Today earlier Mattie McGrath said the fact the Northern Assembly hasn’t sat since January 2017 has contributed to the increase in violence.
He was reacting to comments from Sinn Féin Councillor Martin Browne who accused the Independent TD of wanting businessmen like himself and the Healy-Rae’s to run the country.
