“2022 marks the centenary of An Garda Síochána and Jim’s talk will focus on policing in the early years of the State as well as focussing on Balbriggan,” said Bernie Kelly of the historical society.
“The night will also be an opportunity to remember and share stories of gardaí who served in Balbriggan down the years including a small exhibition on Scott medal winners.”
