In an attempt to gather more information, the police force and the FBI have hired a communications company to create billboards appealing for people to come forward.
'If you know something, say something,' is the chosen slogan for the billboards.
They will also carry a free phone number to an FBI hotline where people cn leave tip offs or information which may assist in the development of the investigation, according to RTE.

'We have not stopped, we will not stop until we have the truth,' said Clark County Undersheriff Kevin McMahill.
The investigation has so far received more than 1000 leads in the case.
Police believe the gunman may have had some assistance with the accumulation of such a massive amount of weapons, after a large number of guns, ammunition and explosives were found both in his hotel room and at his home.
