Modest Cork garda talks man out of suicide bid

A garda, credited by a suicidal man with saving his life, has said she was just doing her job and doesn’t like the limelight.

Garda Karen Ring, who is stationed in Blackrock, Cork, said she was taken aback when the man went on radio yesterday to say he was just 10 seconds from ending his life when the 30-year-old married garda intervened.

The Irish Examiner tracked down Garda Ring after a man, who only identified himself as Daniel, spoke on radio about the incident.
