Dublin South West Sinn Féin TD Seán Crowe has said he was horrified at the callous killing of Tallaght resident Alan Desmond and offered his sympathy and condolences to the Desmond Family.

Deputy Sean Crowe said:

“I would appeal to anyone who has any information relating to this murder to come forward and contact the Garda authorities.

“Tallaght has seen more than its fair share of tragedies but this latest killing has shocked this community.

“The distress of the community was added to by the fact that Mr Desmond’s body was discovered by children at play.
