Weatherday: BanGhardaí

A cloudy start but dry mostly. Clearing to sunny spells in the early afternoon, chance of a shower after tea but otherwise looking good.

Northerly wind gentle to moderate. Highest local temperatures around 16deg.

On this day in 1959 the first 12 female recruits were selected to join An Garda Síochána. The term BanGharda to designate women gardaí was abolished in 1990.
