The spokesperson said Gardaí are dealing with widespread “online misinformation, disinformation and fake news” in relation to many incidents around the country. Gardaí are urging the public to “independently verify any information that you are reading on social media and or messaging apps”.Officers sealed off Fortunestown Lane to allow ambulance personnel to treat the man.Why Ireland needs to close 'duty free loophole' on tobacco
