Gardai who were rammed in squad car have stayed off work due to “being traumatised” as houses searched for footage on mobile phones




Gardaí, investigating the ramming of a police car in Cherry Orchard on Monday night, searched six houses in west Dublin today.

The two Gardaí in the car later reported that they were unfit for duty and stayed at home from work. The GRA said today that they’re still trying to deal with traumatic events and was off duty “on medical advice”.

Gardaí said today’s operation focused on collecting evidence and seized electronic equipment, including phones. Ballyfermot Gardaí believe the devices contain footage of the incident.

Meanwhile. locals in the Cherry Orhard say that they’ve had enough of the anti-social behaviour in their area and that they want curfews to be installed by the gardai for youngsters in the area in an effort to curtail the scenes that the country have seen over the past number of days.

People who drove cars at speed around Cherry Orchard in Dublin on Sunday night will be trapped down and caught, claims the Minister for Justice Helen McEntee.

Two cars were driven at very high speed as a garda car came upon the scene. One of the cars narrowly missed the squad car while the second car smashed straight into the garda car as crowds of onlookers cheers with delight.

The Garda Commissioner Drew Harris said that it was disgraceful what happened and that they will do all they can do find those responsible.
