A scene from last weekend's Open Day at Birr Garda Station.

PHOTOS: Open day at Birr Garda Station

As part of its community engagement, Birr Garda Station welcomed local families to an open day on Saturday last.

Local officers thanked everyone who attended on the day. Specialised Garda units were on display, and the officers were joined by representatives of the Offaly Fire & Rescue Service and the Order of Malta's Birr-Roscrea branch.

These photos, shared by An Garda Siochana, give a flavour of the occasion:
