According to the Garda Representative Association, this is a new Garda uniform that’s going on trial in 3 stations. Deigned by a ‘sub-committee’ apparently. Personally it reminds me of what I used to wear in Quinnsworth when I was packing bags in 1996. Hideous.

They deserve to be dressed like winky-woos.
Women?!? That’s a bit harsh in fairness
Ooh, someone got their naggin of vodka confiscated and told to move on from outside a chipper in the ‘90’s.
Can it stop them saying “VEEH – HAA – KELL”
What Paul said.
What’s with the length of the sleeves?!
they’ll catch their death in that
Garda uniforms always look like they’re designed for the more obesogenic end of the force. Other police forces go for something a little more dynamic. It would be interesting to see a comparison of police uniforms around the world.
yes, that would be very interesting indeed

I see where you’re trying to bring this, j
the usual destination ;) south
have they detained Carla 4 Garda do you think?
This uniform is designed to repel Carla
I’m getting static shocks just looking at it. Nasty.
A Polo shirt? I think the ngards need sorting out but that’s cruel and unusual punishment.
does it come with a driving checkpoint calculator?
I imagine the type of get up that monks wear would be far more striking – you could embroider the slogan Robes of Justice on the back in big gold letters and hide all kinds of crimefighting gear in roomy pockets inside
I could carry it off–not many others could.
It looks like it’s missing sweat patches.
And where the fupp have you been?
Out ‘n’ about.
Good woman. Keep keen and treat him mean.
Or something.
she passed 3 gardi on the way here and not one of them asked her that
Reminds me of the Ukrainian regional police uniform like the one below.
Perhaps the next Garda uniform iteration will be this?

Put them back in broadcloth tunics and make them wear them through the summer.
would fix any weight problem
also when did they all get so short ?
The height requirements – minimum 5’9″ for men and 5’5″ for women – were abolished in 2001.
they shouldn’t have abolished the weight restrictions while they were at it
some proper lardarses out there
There was a case in England recently where Surrey Constabulary finally sacked its most unfit, desk-bound, overweight officer – and she took the case before the Employment Tribunal on the basis of unlawful discrimination on grounds of disability, gender, failure to make reasonable adjustments and victimisation.
Her occupation, weight and persistent absenteeism led to her colleagues nicknaming her “Blue Moon”.
She lost the case, mercifully enough.
All you need now is a neck like a jockeys John Waters.
They’d go fab with tazers.
