Gardaí have re-enacted the deployment of the Civic Guard in Cork 100 years ago as part of their ongoing ceremonies marking the centenary of the foundation of An Garda Síochána.

A contingent of gardaí arrived at the city’s Kennedy Quay on board the LE James Joyce as they recreated the arrival on November 9, 1922, of some 60 Civic Guards in the city from Dublin on board the steamship Lady Carlow under the command of Superintendent Eamon P Cullen.
