An honorary Garda from Ennis was this week presented with his very own BMW Garda motorbike.

At a ceremony outside Ennis Garda Station on Tuesday evening, The Blue Knights in conjunction with Little Blue Heroes gave Honorary Garda Dylan Tobin his official personal issue of a BMW Garda motorbike.

A group of twenty Blue Knight motorcyclists accompanied by members from the road policing unit of the Clare Garda Division and Honorary Garda Tobin travelled in convoy to the Ennis station from the Inn at Dromoland. Garda Claire Haugh met Dylan at the rally point and also gave him a tour of Ennis Garda Station with his older brother and sister.

Chief Superintendent Seán Colleran, Superintendent Brendan McDonagh both attended the ceremony as did members from several stations as they gave Dylan a warm welcome to Ennis Garda Station.

VP of the Blue Knights, Brendan Condon spoke on behalf of the organisations and presented the BMW motorcycle to a surprised H/Gda Tobin. Keen motorcyclist and comedian Pat Shortt also joined the celebrations as did motorcyclists who travelled from all over the country to attend.

Dylan’s parents, Angela and Tom Tobin were in shock at the amount of support for their son. “Dylan was quick to get the hang of bike and will be soon getting to know all the other controls that are on the bike. May he have many happy times on his BMW bike and a huge thank you to the Blue Knights and Little Blue Heroes,” his father Tom told The Clare Echo.
