A LIMERICK community gathered to mark the 100th anniversary of the arrival of Gardai Siochana to the village.
Gardai arrived in Ardagh at the railway station on September 20, 1923, and served until fire destroyed the barracks on November 10, 1959.
On Friday, October 20 the village gathered to commemorate the anniversary where they marched from the railway station to the original barrack building beyond the top cross at Rearasta.
Members of the Garda band on foot and mounted provided musical accompaniment and the 175th anniversary of the presentation of the Irish Tricolour from France to the Irish was also marked on the day.
Check out our gallery to see more pictures from the day.
