Garda trainees suspended after allegedly handcuffing fellow trainee
Five trainees at the Garda College have been suspended after an incident in which they allegedly handcuffed and then threw the trainee into a shower. The incident occurred at the Garda College in Templemore, Co Tipperary on Thursday and an internal investigation has been launched. Advertisement Two sources close to the Garda College told that the victim of the incident is considering dropping out. The incident was described as a "prank" by those involved, but the victim is adamant this was not the case. In response to a query about the alleged incident, a Garda spokesperson said: "An Garda Síochána does not comment on ongoing internal investigations." Numbers at the Garda College have been boosted as part of the Government's attempt to strengthen the force. Speaking after the latest intake, Minister for Justice Jim O'Callaghan said: "This Government is fully committed to strengthening An Garda Síochána by 5,000 members over the next five years. "We have already taken a number of significant measures to boost recruitment and we will continue to explore all options. More and more Gardaí are coming through this College and onto our streets, and this shows these measures are working. "I have made increasing recruitment to An Garda Síochána a priority issue. More Gardaí in our cities, villages, and towns is fundamental to achieving our goal of ensuring people are safe and feel safe.'

The Skoda Superb is now a pick-up truck!
Some of Skoda's Student Car creations – such as a Citigo-based beach buggy and the convertible Karoq 'Sunroq' – have been pretty wacky, and continuing this trend is a Skoda Superb Estate that's been transformed into a pick-up truck. It's called the L&K 130, and the name refers to the 130 years since Václav Laurin and Václav Klement founded Skoda as a bicycle maker in 1895 – although we suspect neither of them would have dreamt up something like this in the Czech firm's future. Advertisement - Article continues below The pick-up is the result of 2,000 hours of work by 28 trainees at Skoda's Vocational School, and marks the first time the Superb has been used as the basis for a Student Car concept. The L&K 130 acknowledges Skoda's connection to bicycle manufacturing through its loading bay, which can store several bikes – ideal for supporting cycling events like the Tour de France, which Skoda will do once again this summer. To create the pick-up body, the students cut the Superb Estate's roof behind the C-pillar, as well as modifying the B-pillar and shortening the roof rails. There's also a new window behind the second row of seats, and the right rear door sits on a sliding mechanism so as to not obstruct cyclists during a race. The cargo bed even extends at the push of a button and tilts by up to 35 degrees to make it easier to load bikes into the back. The traditional L&K colours of red, white, gold and black can be found all over the cabin, along with a unique '130 years' logo on the seats and an 'L&K' logo in the middle of the steering wheel. To meet the needs of a professional cycling team, there's an extra display on the passenger side for race data, a radio for communication, and a cool box in the back. In another first for a Student Car, the L&K 130 is a plug-in hybrid. It uses the standard Superb PHEV's powertrain, so it's a 148bhp 1.5-litre petrol mated to an electric motor for 201bhp. In the regular estate the 25.7kWh battery allows for up to 62 miles of electric running, but we expect the altered aerodynamics of the L&K 130 may reduce this somewhat.
