Local garda station say emotional goodbye to colleague - Kilkenny Live Highlights 2025
The locally based garda served in the Thomastown-Graignamanagh area for almost two decades
Members of An Garda Síochana from across County Kilkenny paid tribute to Garda Brian Whitty in November, as he departed from the Thomastown-Graignamanagh garda area and transfered to Kilkenny City.
"He might be a Corkman through and through but Garda Brian Whitty promises to display the Kilkenny crest with pride!," a garda spokesperson said.
"Sgt PJ Griffin made a presentation to Brian today on his transfer to Kilkenny Garda Station having been an integral part of Thomastown and Graignamanagh for 17 years.
"His commitment to the Thomastown District and of course his character and wit will be missed.
"We all wish Brian every health and happiness in his years ahead in Kilkenny. The Thomastown door will always be open for a visit Brad," they concluded.
