• Man arrested over killing of garda at Lanestown checkpoint Killing of a garda

  Garda Kevin Flatley, a 49-year-old man and father of two, was struck and killed by a motorcycle while operating a speed checkpoint on the R132 in Lanestown, north County Dublin, at around 12:50pm on Sunday 11 May 2025. The motorcyclist, a man in his 30s, was seriously injured and taken to Beaumont Hospital in critical condition. One man was arrested at the scene. The investigation is ongoing, with forensic collision investigators from outside Dublin conducting an independent inquiry and gardaí appealing for dash-cam footage of a Yamaha R1 motorcycle in the area.
