A Garda officer in his 40s was fatally injured while performing a speed checkpoint in the Lanestown area of Dublin. The collision, which occurred during routine duties, also left a motorcyclist seriously injured. Following the incident, multiple Garda units, including the Armed Response Unit, were dispatched to the scene, leading to traffic disruptions in the area. The AGSI expressed their devastation over the officer's death, emphasizing the impact on colleagues and families during this tragic event, and called for public assistance in the ongoing investigation.
We are in shock and numbed at the news this afternoon. No garda shift is ever routine, but this one has ended in the most horrendous of circumstances.
It is not easy for garda colleagues today so please keep them in your thoughts.
