Garda Ring an ‘immense loss’ to court

Judge Seán Ó Donnabháin said yesterday that despite the moments of extreme tension that could occur in court, they had never erupted into trouble in Washington St, Cork, for the last 24 years — “thanks to the presence of The Ringer”.
Tributes were paid yesterday to the retiring member of An Garda Síochána who safeguarded the courthouse at Washington St for almost a quarter of a century, Garda Denis Ring.
