Arresting Memories


On Wednesday the 8^th of October the Old Dundalk Society will host a unique and interesting talk in the County Museum. This talk and slide show will cover a century of policing (1900 – 2000) in the Dundalk and North Louth area and will be given by retired Garda Pat O Donoghue.

Pat has spent most of his service in the Dundalk area and over the years has accumulated a wide range of material and photographs on this subject. This talk should be particularly interesting as it will be given with a knowledgeable inside view of policing. Talk starts at 8 pm sharp.
