Two Gardaí Injured in Attack Outside Dundalk Garda Station - 06/07/2026

Two gardaí remain off duty after what has been described as an "unprovoked, violent attack" outside Dundalk Garda Station on Tuesday morning. An off-duty garda was allegedly assaulted in the station car park, and a second garda was injured while attempting to arrest a man in his 20s. The Garda Representative Association has condemned the attack and is renewing calls for greater protections for frontline members.Meanwhile, concerns are growing over e-scooter safety after six children were admitted to intensive care at Temple Street Hospital and placed on life support in the past fortnight following e-scooter incidents. Assistant General Secretary of the Garda Representative Association, Tara McManus, joined us on The Agenda this morning to discuss both the attack in Dundalk and the renewed focus on e-scooter safety.
