A garda has claimed in court that he was assaulted by a fellow guard as he sought to help a collapsed drunken colleague inside the Garda Training College where they were staying during a visit by then Prince Charles. The incident involving three gardaí happened as they were staying at the facility in Templemore, Co Tipperary in the early hours of 25 March 2022.
This was during a visit by the senior British royal who had been in Waterford on 24 March on a visit and Charles was due in Cashel, Co Tipperary on 25 March. All the gardaí involved are stationed in Kerry – they were deployed to Tipperary to work on the visit. Garda Patrick Curran, 35, who is attached to Killarney Garda Station is charged with assault causing harm to Garda John Burke of Tralee Garda Station while they were staying in the Garda College. The court heard that the gardaí had been socialising separately in pubs in Templemore. Garda Burke gave evidence before Judge Elizabeth McGrath at Thurles District Court in which he alleged he was attacked inside a room in the Áras Cúchulainn accommodation block
