Well done!

Prior to Christmas Lucy O’Shea from Tipperary Town asked Santa if she could become a Garda.

Well Santa delivered on the request as two-year old Lucy is now Tipp Town’s latest Little Blue Hero and will soon receive her official uniform.

Following a recent hospitalisation, Lucy was delighted to meet with Sgt Hilda Moloney, and Lucy’s very own official Garda Buddy, Garda John Hennessy at Lucy’s home.placeholder image

Her mother Karolina and her brothers Mattie and Kevin shared in the celebrations as their little sister became an Honorary Garda.

For the occasion Lucy was taken out to the Garda Patrol Car and placed in the driver’s seat of the vehicle. It was a great surprise for Lucy and one that she will always remember.placeholder image
