Rathmines post office raid

The raiders were eventually cornered and after further exchanges of shots, surrendered. The sum of £20,000 stolen in the robbery was recovered.
Gardaí Michael P. Grenville, James Fagan, Peter P. Canavan, Michael Kennedy, and John K. Mullins, were all presented with the Scott Medal at Templemore in 1980.
