Gardaí appeal to parents not to leave children in cars while shopping

A Garda spokesperson confirmed “A lady made contact with us today with a concern in relation to children being left in the car by some parents while they conduct their essential grocery shopping."

Gardaí have appealed to parents not to leave themselves in a position where they have to leave their children in their car while out shopping in such hot weather.

It follows an incident in Donegal today when a concerned member of the public contacted Gardaí.
