A 31-year-old man is due to appear in court in Dublin this morning in connection with a credit union robbery in which Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe was shot dead.
ames Flynn was arrested last night at Dublin Airport after being extradited from the UK.
He was held overnight at a Garda station in Dublin.
He is due to appear before the Dublin Criminal Courts this morning, charged with the robbery of the Lordship Credit Union, Co Louth on January 25, 2013.
During the raid, Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe, who was on an armed cash escort, was shot and fatally wounded.
In 2020, Aaron Brady (32) was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum of 40 years.
The investigation continued after his conviction and last July James Flynn was arrested in Watford on an extradition warrant.
He has since been in custody as he tried to fight his removal from the UK.
In April, the Westminster Magistrates’ Court ordered his extradition to Ireland, but this was appealed to the High Court.
Earlier this month, his appeal was dismissed and James Flynn will be returned to Ireland to be formally charged with the credit union robbery.
