Ciarán Jones (25)

On October 24, 2011, Garda Ciarán Jones came to the aid of a motorist during a storm. As the colleague attempted to warn motorists of the dangerous weather conditions, he lost his footing due to the tremendous force of the flood waters and was swept into the river. Despite the efforts of his colleagues and local volunteers, Garda Jones' body was not recovered until the next morning about 5 km downstream.
