"A disciplinary investigation has been launched into the incident in which the personal-protection detective allegedly left an official firearm in a Dublin city centre store while shopping."
"The temporary loss of the handgun is being treated as a serious matter by senior gardaí, who are trying to establish the circumstances."
"Staff noticed the gun and, thankfully, notified gardaí straight away. The outcome could have been a lot different if the weapon was picked up by the wrong person."
"There are protocols around booking in your weapon when tending to personal matters while on your working tour, and this will be one aspect looked at."
