The Garda Representative Association has called for an inquiry into the murder of a garda in 1970.

Three men were brought to trial but were acquitted and no one has been held responsible for the murder.
Mr Fallon’s son Finian, in a recent statement, accused the Government of covering up circumstances surrounding his father’s death.
It is believed that members of a group known as Saor Eire carried out the raid.
Mr Fallon was married with five children and his son Finian has called on Minister for Justice Brian Lenihan to initiate an inquiry.
Following his death, Richard Fallon was awarded the Gold Scott Medal for bravery posthumously.
