Detectives are quizzing a woman after a senior Garda was seriously injured in a hit-and-run incident in which he lost his foot.
The Irish Mirror has learned that Inspector Niall Flood’s life may have been saved by a colleague who first arrived at the scene and applied a tourniquet to his leg.
Inspt Flood was off duty and cycling on the R522 between Dromcolliher and Feohanagh near Newcastle West in Limerick when he was hit at around 7.15pm on Thursday evening.
