My father related a sad story about the Garda museum in the Phoenix Park. The museum had a range of weapons which had been discovered or confiscated over the years and which were used to educate staff in the forensic laboratory. When the Troubles broke out the person in charge decided the weapons were in danger of being confiscated by certain forces and they were brought into the yard and concreted over. This heritage, if that is the right word, is in the car park of the Phoenix Park when it could have been bored and given to a museum.
