Praise for heroic Dundalk gardai for saving young person's life

The Garda Representative Association has praised the heroic efforts of two Dundalk gardai who came to the rescue of a young person that had fallen into the Castletown River last Thursday.

Taking to Twitter, the GRA, said there are "few words to adequately describe the selflessness and heroism".

Garda Ronan Doherty and Garda Ashley McEvoy saved a young person from drowning in a torrential river last week.

The GRA added: "They risked all. Thank you from all you serve."
