Late Beaufort Garda fondly remembered by colleagues
By Sean Moriarty
A popular member of An Garda Síochána, who passed away suddenly last year, was posthumously remembered by colleagues at the West Cork Garda Youth Awards.
Garda Aidan Cremin from Beaufort had attended St Brendan’s College in Killarney and worked in Moriarty's Photographic Store for many years before he became a Garda.
He was stationed in Castletownbere Haven in West Cork, where he served as the community Garda for the Adrigole area.
He had been living in West Cork for 13 years where he was a popular member of the tight-knit community, especially in GAA circles, where he was an active member of the local Adrigole Club.
He passed away in January 2021, aged just 47.
The West Cork Garda Youth Awards celebrate outstanding young people between the ages of 13 and 21 years, a project Aidan was immersed in through both his roles as a Community Garda and within Adrigole Club.
He was affectionately known as ‘The Sherriff’ to friends and colleagues, while in GAA circles he was known as ‘The Kingdom-Rebel’.
“His death has left a void and is still very raw in his adopted home. Aidan’s advice kept many the young person on the straight and narrow avoiding negative engagement with the Gardaí," Chief Superintendent Con Cadogan, Divisional Officer for Cork West Division, said.
"A testament to Aidan’s popularity in his adopted county was the huge crowds who on a miserable January night lined the Beara roads in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic to pay their respects to Aidan Cremin a man whose legacy will never be forgotten."
The Posthumous Award was accepted by Aidan’s brother Mike, on behalf of the Cremin family.
