Horse sense: new Garda recruit named after social media competition
The newest recruit to the Garda mounted unit has been named Senan, following a competition on social media that saw early favourite 'Horsey McHorseface' beaten to the post by several public suggestions.
The name, which means "wise one" in several languages, was chosen for the horse, following an open call by the Gardaí on Twitter. More than 7,000 entries were submitted over the past week.
