have been praised for their actions after saving a woman who got into difficulty in the river Barrow in Co
Gardaí Colman Curran and Brendan Murphy were on duty and made it to the scene within minutes and could see the woman was in serious difficulty in the water. She was being quickly carried downstream by the strong current. Garda Murphy went to retrieve a lifebuoy on the river bank to assist Garda Curran, who was “holding on tightly to the woman, treading the water could get them both to safety”.
