McEntee and Harris honour gardaí who died in line of duty at memorial service

A ceremony has taken place in Dublin to commemorate all gardaí members who have died in the line of duty.

It began with the playing of the ministerial salute by the band of An Garda Siochana before Ms McEntee inspected the guard of honour. Following prayers, there was a wreath-laying ceremony. Delivering her speech, Ms McEntee said the annual memorial day is consistently “one of the most moving events of the year”.

Ms McEntee added: “In the two years since, the country has again seen many changes and, of course, new challenges have emerged. “We have seen acts of violence and intimidation carried out by a tiny criminal minority.
