A garda has suffered multiple stab wounds following an unprovoked knife attack in Dublin city centre yesterday evening.

One man aged in his 20s is in custody following the incident.

The officer, who was on routine patrol in the city, suffered puncture wounds to his side. He was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and is “recovering well” and expected to be discharged, a Garda spokesperson said.

We were joined on The Agenda this morning by Assistant General Secretary at the GRA (Garda Representative Association), Tara McManus, who told us more about this shocking incident.

We also heard about Justin Kelly being appointed as new Garda Commissioner.
