One of the best known Gardaí in the Laois Offaly Division has been promoted and will soon take up a role in Tipperary.

All-Ireland winning Clare hurler Ollie Baker is moving from the rank of Inspector to Superintendent in the force. The promotion will see him moving down the road to the Nenagh policing district.

He had been based in Tullamore but has also spent time in the Portlaoise district. He was previously a garda in Galway.
