Powerful photo on the front of The Irish Times this morning showing Garda Kevin Flatley’s colleagues mourning him at a memorial in Dublin Castle last night.
Really sad to hear all the stories about him over the last 36 hours. Thoughts with everyone in the service.

This is what elections are all about! 🤣
Kilanerin Community Centre without a doubt had one of the best operations in the country. Huge well done to all involved.
