In a 38 year career as a guardian of the peace in Ireland retiring superintendent Seamus Boyle has worked on a number of nationally significant cases.
Last Friday the Bunlahy native called time on a job that saw him rise through the ranks of An Garda Síochána. There was a special presentation evening held in JVs Pub in Granard, with Seamus' work colleagues honouring their former chief.
Supt Boyle completed his training in Templemore Garda College in 1986, served as a Detective between Ronanstown and Clondalkin before promotion to Sergeant saw him move to Tallaght in 2000.
His career saw him work on high profile cases such as the Veronica Guerin inquiry and the investigation into The C-Case in 1997.
“I loved every minute of it, to be honest,” he told the Leader on his first Monday as a civilian in a long time.
