Information About

Civic Guard




The Garda Síochána (Temporary Provisions), Act, enacted after the creation of the Irish Free State on the 8 August 1923, provided for the creation of "a force of police to be called and known as 'The Garda Síochána '". Under section 22, The Civic Guard were deemed to have been established under and to be governed by the Act, the law therefore effectively renamed the existing force.
