Last Day of Camp Garda Station – closed on 31st January 2013

Posted on February 1, 2013 by Brigid O Connor

Camp Garda Station closed for the last time on Thursday, 31st. January. Dan Mulcahy has many memories of the station operting with 3 Gardai and a Sergeant. Dan’s late mother Catherine Mulcahy and his sisters Mary and Ellie worked in the station in the 1930′s and early 1940′s.
Garda Sean O Morain R.I.P and his wife Brigid held many events in the station for the young people and Camp Drama Group practised their plays and the Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann group met there too. Alas Camp station is among the 9 stations which are now closed in the county. Garda Aidan Smith retired last year and he wasn’t replaced, so we now are under the Dingle area and are conducting our business in Castlegregory Station. So time marches on, but we stll have the memories of good times past in Camp Garda Station !
