As Garda Quinn came to their aid, the two men were overcome but Quinn narrowly avoided being shot as a gun went off. The apprehended men had approached Balbriggan Station in pursuit of their kidnap victim, a Mr Finnegan, with the intention of using their loaded guns to recapture him. Quinn was later transferred to the Longford/Westmeath Division, being promoted to sergeant in July 1936. He and his two colleagues were awarded their Scott Medals at the Garda Depot, Dublin, on 25 August 1935. He retired on 19 March 1967. (en)
