Two Gardai have been praised for their heroic response to a young man's serious injuries.
Garda Roisín O’Donnell and Garda Rose McGlynn were on patrol on the M1 in Co Louth last month when they were flagged down by a distressed couple on the hard shoulder. Gardai rushed to the aid of their son, Tabish, who had suffered serious injuries to his arm while at home.
Tabish's parents were in the process of taking him to Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda when their car suffered a flat tyre. Their son was experiencing significant blood loss and a bone was protruding out of his arm.
