SUDDEN DEATH OF Chief Supt. HUGH DUFFY
The death took place suddenly at Jervis St. Hospital last night of Chief Supt. Hugh Duffy, late of the Garda Headquarters, Depot Phoenix Park, Dublin, and Rathdown Road.
Born in Killorglin, Co. Kerry, 63 years ago, Chief Supt. Duffy was son of Sergt. John Duffy of R.I.C.. He served in the Royal Artillery in France in the First World War and was awarded the military Medal for gallentry in the field. After the war he took a B.A. in Trinity College and taught for a year in the Carnegie School, Killorglin.
He joined the Gardai in 1922 as a Supt. and was engaged to a teaching capacity for some time. He was Adjutant in the Depot from 1925 to 1936 and from then until he retired last June was in charge of officers records in B Branch. He was in charge of the parade before the Pope during the Garda pilgrimage to Rome in 1928 and played a big part in police organisation during the Eucharistic Congress of 1932. He is survived by his wife Mrs. Elizabeth Duffy; two sons John and Hugh, and three daughters, Nuala. Joan and Maura.
Connacht Tribune 1909-current, 11.05.1957, page 19
More on Chief Supt Hugh Duffy, his father of Lurgan, Caltra, Ballinasloe. He retired last year.
He was a prominent footballer and played with Kerry teams.

(Snippet of article)
and it was to him that the direction of defence of the assailed Catholics during the Belfast programs was entrusted. He was recalled to Dublin in, 1922 and appointed Chief of Staff-in succession to Gen. Mulcahy, who had become Minister for Defence.
”When, in spite of the earnest efforts he made to compose the differences of the Treaty and the anti-Treaty groups, civil war broke out in 1922, he was appointed G.O.C. of the South-western Command, and he succeeded in a very short time in quelling any serious armed opposition to the Provisional Government forces in that area. Through his work and influence as Commissioner of the Civic Guard, a position which he held until February 1933, we can boast of an efficient, respected and popular police force whose integrity and discipline withstands even the very severe tests which it has had to undergo recently.
“He has done more than any man in Ireland for the promotion of athletics at home and abroad, and the fact that the vigour and splendour of Ireland’s manhood took pride of place in the world contest at the Olympic Games in 1928 and 1932 is to a great extent due to the encouragement and inspiration given by Gen. O’Duffy as President for many years of the N.A.C.A. On numerous other occasions when the finest traditions of our people were gloriously upheld in the eyes of the world, at the Garda Pilgrimage to Rome in 1928, at the Catholic Emancipation ceremony in 1929, and at the Eucharistic Congress in 1932, Gen. O’Duffy played a leading part, and the people of Limerick acclaim him to-day, not only with pride and affection but with the utmost confidence that under his leadership the best elements of our race, those who hold resolutely to the belief that true patriotism expresses itself in a constructive endeavour to uplift our land rather than in efforts to accomplish its destruction, will rally to his flag and march with him to the great national victory which is to be the crowning achievement of his great career in the service of the nation “
