A funeral is set to take place for a Garda officer who was killed while on duty last weekend.

Kevin Flatley, 49, died after being struck by a motorcyclist while carrying out speed checks in Co Dublin on Sunday.

Gardai travelled from across the country to attend a memorial service for Mr Flatley at Dublin Castle earlier this week.

He had served as a garda for 26 years and had been with the Roads Policing Unit since 2018.

Garda Flatley will later be laid to rest privately in Newcastle, Co Dublin.

He is the 90th member of An Garda Siochana to be killed while on duty.
