Kind-hearted gardai deliver groceries to wheelchair-bound man in Co Tipperary

Two kind-hearted gardai rushed to help a wheelchair-bound man after he contacted them asking for help.

Officers in Tipperary received a call from a Mr O'Donovan, who lives in Grangemockler and was in need of supplies.

A tweet on the official Garda Siochana account shared a photo of the touching event.

A spokesperson said: "Garda Lisa Prendergast and Garda Damien Buckley went to his aid and delivered provisions to help. We're to help."

It's the third such occasion in the last week where members of gardai have been spotted lending a hand to vulnerable members of the community.

Two members of the force were seen carrying an elderly woman's shopping bags as they escort her in Walkinstown,  Dublin.

The photograph was taken by a member of the public and sent in to gardai.

Gardai posted the picture on the force's official  Facebook  page and added: "Thank you to a member of the public for sending us in this lovely photograph taken in the Walkinstown area earlier today.

And another picture shows the heartwarming moment gardai delivered essential supplies to an isolated man in Co Limerick.

Officers took items such as coal, sticks, an  ESB top-up  and medication to the elderly man, who has no transport.

An appeal was also launched for anyone who feels they need help to call the gardai, who will assist in any way they can.
