Today, the Carlow Kilkenny Garda Division officially said goodbye to one of their most prominent position holders. Sgt. Peter McConnon was the 25,000th garda graduate from Templemore and has served more than three decades in the force, many of them locally. Next week he starts a new job as Head of Operations with Carlow GAA, and today colleagues past and present, as well as representatives of the county councils and other organisations gathered at the garda stations in Kilkenny city and Carlow town for speeches, much laughter, and some tears. Our Edwina Grace was at one of the celebrations to chat with those present, beginning with the outgoing Sergeant himself, who outlined how he was feeling on his last day.
