Two Gardaí have been praised as “heroes” after they quickly jumped into action providing emergency care to a seriously injured child on a roadside after his parent's car experienced a flat tyre en route to the hospital.
On Friday, May 26 Garda Roisín O’Donnell and Garda Rose McGlynn were out on patrol along the M1 at Charleville, Louth when they were waved down by a panicked couple standing by their parked vehicle on the hard shoulder.
Their 19-year-old son, Tabish had sustained an injury to his arm while at home and his parents were driving him to hospital when they got a flat tyre.
