Pat Jordan, the first President of the Association (who addressed our annual delegate conference this year) has kindly forwarded a photograph of the first NEC to us with a short history of the foundation of the AGS along with a presentation he gave to a symposium at St Patricks College in Drumcondra in 1988 dissecting a murder investigation. Also included is a letter received from a convicted man seeking clarification that “he was only convicted of manslaughter” Interesting stuff and many thanks to Pat for taking the time to write to us

The second Wellness day for Superintendents arranged by the NEC with the great assistance of HR&PD and the Welfare service was held on Tuesday 15th November 2022 at the Glenroyal Hotel in Maynooth. A fantastic day was had by all and as can be seen from the photos and video, seriousness was left outside the door. The third day is ongoing as this post is being uploaded and a fouth one is to be arranged for early December. Any members who have not yet attended are missing out on a really great opportunity to join colleagues in a forum like we never have before and the NEC would encourage all remaining members to take advantage of this valuable experience.
