An Garda Síochána centenary exhibition comes to Ballymahon Community Library

An exhibition celebrating the centenary of An Garda Síochána will open in Ballymahon Community Library next week.

This is a joint-project by Longford County Library, Heritage and Archives Services, part of Longford County Council, and An Garda Síochána which is part of the Decade of Centenaries Programme.

The opening of the exhibition will include a talk on the history of An Garda Síochána and will also cover the arrival of the Civic Guard in Longford and some of its later history in the county. It will include some archives, artefacts and uniforms.

The launch of the new exhibition will take place on Wednesday, November 16 at 7.30pm and the exhibition will remain in Ballymahon Community Library for two weeks. All are welcome to attend.
