Archbishop Dermot Farrell expresses shock at shooting of Gardaí in Dublin

The Archbishop of Dublin Dermot Farrell has expressed his shock at the shooting of two gardaí in Dublin yesterday. The gardaí, understood to be plain clothes detectives, suffered non-life threatening gunshot wounds.

In a statement issued this morning, Archbishop Farrell said, “I was shocked to hear of the shooting and injury of two Gardaí in west-Dublin yesterday.  I thank God that there was no loss of life.  We are indebted to all members of An Garda Síochána who provide a vital and professional service as guardians of the peace.”

Archbishop Farrell has offered prayers for the injured gardaí, and for their families.
