Take a unique look at what happens behind the scenes of a major crime at Tipperary Museum

An exhibition at the Tipperary Museum of Hidden History called Order from Chaos - A history of Policing in Ireland features a recreated crime scene.

This exhibit was completed by Crime Scene Officer Garda Tadgh Mohally.

On Tuesday 10th November 5pm - 6pm for Science week (8-15 November) Garda CSI Tadgh Mohally will give a talk on his work, illustrating the type of evidence left behind at crime scenes, how this information is gathered and what it can tell us.

Booking is required - [email protected]

The exhibition focuses on over 200 years of the history of policing, crime and punishment in Tipperary, where organised policing in Ireland first began in 1814 with the deployment of Robert Peel’s Peace Preservation Force (PPF).

The wide-ranging exhibition uses resources including artefacts, uniforms, Scott medals, documents and the unique Garda Historic Photo Archives to illustrate key events in policing history

The exhibition will run until the end of March 2027, and as the Garda Museum in Dublin Castle is closed until 2027 because of the EU Presidency, Clonmel, will have the only policing museum in the country. The museum is open from Tuesday to Saturday between 10am and 4.30pm. Closed on Sundays and bank holidays, closed for lunch between 1pm and 2pm on Saturdays.
