Seven-year-old is garda for a week

A seven-year-old boy, who suffers from leukaemia, has become a garda for a week.

David Moran from Co Mayo was granted the opportunity after he told the Make a Wish Foundation it was his dream to join the force.

He was kitted out in a full uniform, and has been spending time with the traffic corps as well as the Garda dog and air support units.

The young pretender today met the Taoiseach outside his constituency office in Dublin, before setting up a roadblock to watch for dangerous drivers.
