James Christopher 'Lugs' Branigan was a garda who became a legend in his own lifetime. An advocate of tough justice, he was a law unto himself. Indeed, 'he had the scars to show he earned the undisputed reputation as the country's toughest and bravest cop'. Lugs joined the force in 1931, and over the years until his retirement in 1973 he became part of the folklore of Dublin. Here, Kevin Kearns presents a remarkable account of a remarkable man: a tough, fearless, fair garda who was loved by the vulnerable and feared by Dublin's criminals.
