Very dangerous situation, in 1999 Sergeant Andrew Callanan was killed when a man entered Tallaght garda station with petrol and flares. You never know what can happen.
Great work by the Gardai resolving it without any injuries. Man detained under the mental health act. In the US he’d have been shot along with some bystanders.
That is why I have so much respect towards gardi, they are well trained to handle stressful situations with common sense and showing empathy at the same time

That tickled a very vague old memory. Is that the one when the guy tried to self immolate and the gard died trying to save/stop him?
Yes, when people are mentally unwell the job can be dangerous.
A good news story. A year without a shooting death continued into the new year. Hope the person gets the help they need.
Ah Garda Station! I was wondering was it RTE or Today FM.
I assumed it was a train station, they really could be clearer in their title

And some dogs shot too. Then the preventative measures to stop this happening again is to arm everyone, including the dogs.
The Gardai are incredible and one of the many reasons to be proud of this country

Very poorly written headline - assumed it was a train station.
The poor headline was intentional for that very purpose, I would reckon.
