The quick-thinking of a heroic Garda may well have saved a runner's life during Sunday's Dublin Marathon.
Garda Niamh Connaughton was on duty for the 40th Dublin Marathon when she spotted one of the 20,000 runners displaying signs of difficulty during the 26-mile race.
She rushed to assist the man, who we now know as Giancarlo Isacchi, and administered CPR.
It's understood that Isacchi had collapsed after suffering a suspected heart attack and the quick-thinking of Garda Connaughton made all the difference before he was transported to hospital.

"Giancarlo Isacchi is now doing well in hospital."
Thankfully, he is expected to make a full recovery.
