Garda Kevin Flatley

[Sockmate123]

Awful what happened, RIP 🙏

Alot of rumours swirling around social media. Guards saying its fake news. Find it really odd the motorcyclist is barely mentioned....anyone know how he is doing?

Tragic incident - very sad for Garda Flatley’s family and friends.

BBC News NI says: A motorcyclist, a man in his 30s, was seriously injured in the incident and has been taken to Beaumont Hospital in Dublin where his condition is described as critical.

What rumours are going around online?

The same information about any road incident victim is mentioned, he's critically injured in ICU in Beaumont, his age, he's a married man.
Some person put up a social media post saying they saw the Garda running around the motorway over and back looking like he had mental difficulties. Needless to say there was no video or dash am, only one person on the motorway in those minutes 'saw' this and of course the post is now gone, and the people that love negativity, bashing the Gardai and drama have taken it as gospel while adding their own details to the story.
There are lots of questions to be asked around how the impact happened, like did the rider lose control and slide into the side of road where Garda was, like the Garda can't have tried to stop a speeding bike, it wasn't an actual check point and speed traps usually just send tickets especially if it's only 1 Garda..... But the questions are for the Gardai to investigate and release at a later date. For now a wife and her children are burying their husband and father while another wife is sitting by her husbands bedside not knowing while he survive or if he ll survive with life altering injuries

Heartbreaking for his family and friends. May Kevin rest in peace.
