Garda car 'deliberately' hit by Northern registered Audi in 'serious incident'
An investigation is underway after a motorist 'deliberately' drove into a Garda car in Louth, causing damage to the vehicle. At around 8:30pm on Saturday, August 3, members of the Louth Roads Policing unit were on patrol as part of the Garda Bank Holiday weekend road safety operation when they were involved in a serious incident. Gardaí have been conducting a dedicated road traffic enforcement operation throughout the August Bank Holiday weekend which commenced at 7am on Thursday, July 31 and will continue until 7am Wednesday, August 6. While patrolling the Ravendale area, north of Dundalk, Gardaí observed a grey Northern Ireland registered Audi A4 acting suspiciously. When they attempted to stop the vehicle, the driver deliberately drove into and caused damage to the Roads Policing patrol car showing a reckless disregard for Garda safety. Gardaí have launched a witness appeal (Image: Stock image from PA Archive) Thankfully, no Gardaí were physically harmed, and investigations are continuing. Gardaí say they are 'working closely' with colleagues in the PSNI to identify those responsible as they appeal for witnesses. A Garda spokesperson said: 'If you witnessed anything suspicious in the Ravensdale area around 8.30pm - or have any information that may assist- please contact Dundalk Garda Station on 0429388400 or call 999 in an emergency 'Our Roads Policing Units remain on patrol across the region focused on keeping people safe.

Tributes paid to 'pure gentleman' found dead in Tipperary home
Tributes have been paid to a man who was found dead in his home in Co Tipperary. The body of Ian Walsh, 49, was discovered at his home on Creggs Road in Carrick-on-Suir, Co Tipperary at around 3.30am on Monday (August 4). Gardaí are treating his death as suspicious and believe he may have died a few days prior. While a post-mortem examination will determine the course of Gardaí's investigation into Mr Walsh's death, tributes have begun pouring in for him following his death, with him being remembered by his colleagues at Irish Rail and railway enthusiasts as someone who 'went far beyond the extra mile.' Tributes have been paid to Ian Walsh, who was found dead in his home in Co Tipperary. Pic: Facebook Táilte Tours, who knew Mr Walsh as a signaller at the Cork railway station who was a 'huge supporter' of their operation, said 'Ian ran five railtours of his own over the course of the mid to late 2000s, and was very much a pioneer in 'outside the box' tours in Ireland, starting them from locations such as Waterford and Limerick, in an era when tours were generally based in Dublin or Belfast. 'He was more than happy to pass his experience and expertise on when we started operations a few years ago; for those of you who enjoyed the 'surprise' rare track moves on our Cork-based railtours, you can thank Ian, who went far beyond the extra mile to ensure our operations went off without a hitch. 'He had a wonderful knowledge of the Iarnród Éireann system and its people, and had also developed a passion for Bus Éireann operations, diligently recording the last runs on several rural routes in the south east as they disappeared, quickly becoming a friend to bus drivers in the Cork and Waterford areas.' Mr Walsh was found dead at his home in Carrick on Suir on Monday morning, with Gardaí believing that he may have died over the Bank Holiday weekend. Pic: Facebook Following the passing of Mr Walsh, Iarnród Éireann also paid tribute to him, saying that they were shocked at the death of their 'well known and popular' colleague. Another person wrote; 'A good friend from day one, there will never be another railwayman like Ian. Rip Squinty [Mr Walsh's nickname].' 'I got to know Ian from taking photos an uploading to facebook Morden Bus Eireann page,' another wrote. 'He was a pure Gentleman. You'll be missed.' Gardaí have appealed for anyone who was in the area of Cregg Road, Carrick-on-Suir over the Bank Holiday weekend, from Friday (August 1) at 8pm and Bank Holiday Monday (August 4) at 3.30am to contact them. Gardaí in Tipperary are appealing for anyone with any information, and who may have been on the Cregg Road area between Friday at 8pm and Monday at 3.30am to contact them.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact Clonmel Garda Station on (052) 617 7640, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda Station.
