Gardaí dazzled about engagement rings

Westport’s Garda SíochΡna are trying to help resolve the location of one engagement ring and the owner of another

Gardaí dazzled about engagement rings


Áine Ryan

IT’S a classic tale of lost and found. Well kind of. There is romance. A proposal. And of course diamonds. In this case though the diamonds may not be forever. And now the gardaí have become involved.
It is almost a week since a gold-banded diamond ring was found near the Ulster Bank, Westport and handed into the Garda Station, just across the Carrowbeg River. Could there have been a disagreement, a lover’s tiff? Or perhaps, just like the girl in the Specsavers advertisement, she threw it away by mistake. Fortunately it has an inscription.
In another twist just four days later, the men-in-blue are landed with the saga of another diamond encrusted white gold engagement ring. This time it is missing, possibly slipping off that fourth finger of a tourist in the grounds of Westport House on Sunday sometime. Any information on the beautiful three-stone ring, which has several little diamonds on the side, will be much appreciated.
