T
TWO members of An Garda Siochána in Killarney have been hailed as heroes after they rescued a homeless man as Hurricane Ophelia raged.
Garda Joe Sullivan and Garda Adrian O’Driscoll were on duty in Killarney on Monday morning when they encountered a man in his 60s taking shelter from the elements behind a garden wall in Mangerton View. “He was curled up and looked as though he had spent the night outside. He was in a bad way,” Garda Sullivan told Killarney Advertiser.
The man, who is homeless was badly clothed, and his circumstances and condition were poor, they added.
The two officers brought him to Killarney Station where he had a shower and they provided him with food and bought him fresh clothing.
Gardaí then made arrangements to source proper accommodation for the man.
It is understood that the man, who had been living in sheltered accommodation in the Waterford area, recently returned to Killarney.
