The male driver of the van was allegedly seen to be struggling with the woman, while there were children in the van seemingly under distress.
Eventually, after the managed containment operation outlined above and support from the Armed Response Unit, the vehicle was brought to a halt around 10.20pm and six children were rescued from the van. A man, aged in his 30s, was arrested and later taken to Bridewell Garda Station, where he is currently detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984.The six children who were in the vehicle at the time, and their mother, were later taken to Cork University Hospital to be assessed but no serious injuries have been reported. An Garda Síochána continues to support and engage with all of these people at this time.
All members involved are receiving support from their colleagues and local Garda Management and the wider organisational supports of the Peer Support Service, Chief Medical Officer and 24-hour counselling service have been provided if required.
