A Dark Day for An Garda Síochána

The Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors (AGSI) has expressed their deepest sympathies to the family and colleagues of Garda Kevin Flatley fatally injured while on traffic duty in Dublin this afternoon. 

General Secretary Ronan Clogher described the news as ‘devastating’ and called it ‘a dark day’ for An Garda Síochána. 

“We are in shock and numbed at the news this afternoon. No Garda shift is ever routine, but this one has ended in the most horrendous of circumstances. We extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Garda Flatley. It is not easy for Garda colleagues today so please keep them in your thoughts.”

AGSI President Declan Higgins says the Association will provide all their support to members, Garda colleagues and their families at this tragic time.

He has also appealed to members of the public to heed Garda appeals for information.

“I would ask the public to respond to calls for any information as they work on this investigation. There will be tough days ahead and we really ask for the public’s support.”
