Garda Joe our hero for saving Analise’s life, says family

A quick-thinking garda has been hailed a hero by the family of a toddler left on life support after being struck by a relative’s car.

Analise McDonagh, now 19 months old, sustained head injuries when a car reversed on a driveway at her grandfather’s home near Tuam, Co Galway.

The driver didn’t spot Analise as she ran around a corner.
