A garda union representative has said that officers whose vehicle was rammed during an incident in west Dublin last night may not have been properly trained for the situation.
On Monday, crowds gathered around the houses on Cherry Orchard Avenue as two silver cars were rallying up and down the road. One of the cars involved then rammed into a garda car to the delight of the crowd.
President of the Garda Representative Association Brendan O'Connor told RTE's Today with Claire Byrne show: “I have to commend my colleague who was driving that car and I believe that the driver hadn't actually been properly trained.
