Heartfelt Sympathy  from Ronnie O'Connor

My thoughts and prayers are with the McLoughlin family at this time.

i walk beside you  from john o'hara

There's a story in your eyes
I can see the hurt behind your smile
For every sign I recognize
Another one escapes me

Let me know what plagues your mind
Let me be the one to know you best
Be the one to hold you up
When you feel like you're sinking

Tell me once again
What's beneath the pain you're feeling
Don't abandon me
Or think you can't be saved

I walk beside you
Wherever you are
Whatever it takes
No matter how far

Through all that may come
And all that may go
I walk beside you
I walk beside you

Summon up your ghosts for me
Rest your tired thoughts upon my hand
Step inside the sacred place
When all your dreams seem broken

Resonate inside this temple
Let me be the one who understands
Be the one to carry you
When you can walk no further

Tell me once again
What's below the surface bleeding
If you've lost your way
I will take you in

I walk beside you
Wherever you are
Whatever it takes
No matter how far

Through all that may come
And all that may go
I walk beside you
I walk beside you

Oh when everything is wrong
Oh when hopelessness surrounds you
Oh the sun will rise again
The tide you swim against will carry you back home
So don't give up
Don't give in

I walk beside you
Wherever you are
Whatever it takes
No matter how far

Through all that may come
And all that may go
I walk beside you
I walk beside you

Memories  from Noel Kelly

Everytime i think of you Gary all I can think is of all those times we spent on the front lawn playing footie and you attempting to do a bycle kick and nearly breaking your back or the times we spent in the sitting room playing the playstation for hours. The best summers I ever had were in that house as a child God I'd give anything to go back to those days now. I'd give anything for us just to have one more game of ball outside with Enda kicking the hell out of you and Una roaring at us to mind her clean washing on the line. Miss you Gary

Rest in Peace  from Martin Doonan

Every memory I have of you brings a smile to my face and I will never forget them. Rest in Peace. In the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

He served as part of the highest tradditions of An  from Justice Minister Dermot Aherne

"on my own behalf, and that of the government and the Irish people, I express heartfelt sympathy to the family, friends and colleagues of Garda McLoughlin. His tragic and untimely death serves as another desperately sad reminder of the dangers which members of An Garda Siochana face, day in day out, in endavouring to keep us all safe. While nothing can be expected to console those who have been bereaved by his death, I hope they can draw whatever comfort they can from the fact that Gary lost his life while protecting the community which he served as part of the highest traditions of An Garda Siochana.

My thoughts & prayers.  from Garda Commissioner Fachtna Murphy

At this time my thoughts and prayers and those of the entire force are with the family, colleagues and friends of Garda McLoughlin. I trust that the other people injured in the collision including Garda McLoughlin's colleague will make a full recovery.

This is the second tragedy to befall the Donegal Garda Division this year highlighting in stark terms the dangers gardaí can face each day as they go about their work of policing and rendering assistance to the community."

Terrible tragedy.  from An Tanaiste Mary Coughlan

My thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by this death, it is indeed a dark day in the history of the force in Donegal. I offer my most sincere condolences to his immediate family in Ballinamore, County Leitrim and of course, his many friends and colleagues.

In April last, Garda Robbie McCallion also died in the line of duty in Letterkenny. This is another desperately difficult day for those who bravely keep law and order in our society.

GARDA GARRY MCLOUGHLIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

R.I.P  from Pat Coen

Rest in peace.

Sincerest Sympathies.  from Senator John Ellis

I want to extend my sincerest sympathies to the family and friends of Garda Gary McLoughlin.

The entire community in Fenagh is shocked at the news of his death in Donegal while on duty.

It is absolutely tragic that a young man should lose his life in this way.

I want to offer my deep condolences to his mother and father Una and Noel, his sister Tracey and his brother Enda, and his grandparents.

Hugely Popular.  from Frank Feighan TD

Gary was a very pleasant young man who was hugely popular. His death will cast a shadow over Ballinamore this Christmas.

Gary was fatally injured while diligently serving in the line of duty. That shocks and saddens all of us. I offer my deepest sympathy to his father Noel, to his mother Una, to his brother and sister, and to his many friends. This is a very sad loss to the community.”

With Sympathy  from Niall Blaney

News of the young Garda’s death has shaken both the town of Buncrana and his home community in Fenagh, Co Leitrim, and I want to extend my sincerest sympathies to Mr McLoughlin’s family and friends.”

“I also want to express my sympathy to his colleagues in Buncrana. For a Garda’s life to be taken while he or she is carrying out their duty is especially terrible and it is a dreadful shock for the Garda community in the county, particularly following the death of Garda Robbie McCallion in Letterkenny earlier this year.”



Tragic Loss!  from Sarah Meehan

Gary's death represents for all of us the huge price we are going to have to pay in this country to get our priorities right in ensuring our roads are safe for every one to travel regardless of what hour we make this journey.

Gary died trying to implement law and order on our dangerous roads and paid the ultimate price with his own life in trying to do so. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to Gary and his colleagues in the tireless work they do on our behalf.

We also owe it to Gary's memory that we question our own driving habits, that we stop flashing lights at oncoming cars to alert them to a concealed patrol car; that we never, ever drink and drive and that we pass on to our children total 100 % respect for the law officers of this land.

Condolences from Monaghan Garda Station  from Colm Grogan

It is a pleasure to have known Gary for the 6months he spent in Monaghan. You will never be forgotten for the sacrifice you have made. Thoughts and prayers are with your Family and Friends
