William Geary’s life spanned the whole of one century and parts of two others. He took part in training the Volunteers during the War of Independence. He entered the newly formed Garda Siochána, and while he was stationed in Kilrush, it was alleged that he took a bribe from the IRA. This led to his dismissal, and for 72 years he fought to clear his name.
