The Watchmen – Policing, Crime and Punishment in Monaghan
In the last two centuries of Monaghan’s history there have always been criminals and the terrible crimes they committed. These people have tried to avoid, outwit or outrun the men and women whose job it is to maintain law and order in the region. Monaghan County Museum’s new exhibition, The Watchmen, tells the dramatic story of a place where the police, the criminals they sought and the eventual punishment that many of these desperate people received has been etched into the cultural memory of the county.
