Two gardaí hospitalised following separate weekend incidents in Dundalk

Separate weekend incidents which left two gardaí in one area needing hospital treatment have been condemned as “outrageous and completely unacceptable,” by the Garda Representative Association.

Both took place on Saturday in Dundalk. In the first, at 1.45 pm on the northbound carriageway of the N1/M1, a Garda suffered a broken collarbone after he was dragged by a car which took off as the garda was beside it.
