Garda Memorial Day in Dubhlinn Gardens, Dublin Castle on the 18/5/19
The Annual Garda Memorial Day for members of An Garda Síochána killed in the line of duty will take place at the Dubhlinn Gardens, Dublin Castle, on Saturday the 18th May 2019 at 12 noon.
An Garda Síochána Memorial Garden honours the members of An Garda Síochána who gave their lives in the service of the State.
The historical associations of the Organisation with Dublin Castle were very much to the forefront in choosing The Dubhlinn Gardens at Dublin Castle as the location for the Memorial Garden.
Dublin Castle is associated with An Garda Síochána since the foundation of the State. It is the location where An Garda Síochána affirmed its authority as the National Policing Force on 9th February 1922, thereby commencing the phasing out of the Royal Irish Constabulary which ended its policing role in August of that year.
