'He should be on Love Island' - Women gush over Offaly garda with big GAA connection
The popular garda was pictured at a number of community engagement events on the official Laois/Offaly An Garda Síochana Facebook page
One Offaly-based garda has garnered a lot of attention on social media after a number of posts from the offical Laois/Offaly Garda Facebook page.
Two pictures of Garda Glennon, a former intercounty footballer with Westmeath, at community engagement days in Edenderry and Clonbullogue attracted a lot of comments from female admirers.
Garda Glennon is stationed in Edenderry and was out and about meeting the public at the events which aim to raise awareness of the work of gardaí and encourage people to join the Garda reserve.

The Garda page replied to that comment, saying, "now now. You better leave our poor Denis off TikTok." Others asked when the next "meet and greet" event was, prompting the guards to reply, "behave yourselves ladies."
Another comment joked, "we can't afford to keep hiring models as guards! Please sign up!."

One woman asked: "Do all the Gardai look like that in Clonbullogue? Asking for a friend."
Other comments were quick to praise Garda Glennon's work as a garda in the community in Edenderry. One local said: "You won't meet a nicer or more helpful lad than Denis Glennon. A credit to himself, Edenderry town and An Garda Síochana."
Another resident said she "watched this Garda unpacking a trolley outside Lidl last week for an older couple in the rain, then he brought their trolley back, lovely young lad with manners and respect, nice to see."
We should also point out that Garda Glennon is a happily married man.
