Ennistymon Gardaí decided to bring some Valentine's Day cheer while checking in on elderly local residents.

Residents of Ennistymon, Co Clare, were treated to a Valentine’s Day surprise as local gardaí went out of their way to spread the cheer.

Garda Deirdre Scanlon and Garda Jim McNamara were busy handing out flowers, chocolates, PPE, and Valentine’s Day cards to local residents.

The act of goodwill was shared by the official An Garda Síochána Facebook page. 

The post has since been shared more than 1,000 times on Facebook, with local TD Cathal Crowe among those to spread the joy.
