This is the condensed (english language portion) version of the TG4 documentary on Dublin Garda Jim ‘Lugs Branigan (1910- 1986), who ruled the streets of Dublin with an iron fist (or glove) for many years on the streets of Dublin.
Joining the Gardaí in 1931, he was promoted to detective Garda in 1958 Garda and Sergeant in 1963. He was put in charge of a mobile riot squad unit, the so-called Prevention and Detection of Street Nuisances Unit, with which he remained active until his retirement. Lugs was always called upon to quell the trouble spots in Dublin with his particular brand of coercion.
