Gardai have been told that they can’t wear their new uniform while attending court — and have to wear their old one instead because it’s more formal.
Our sister paper The Star has learned that officers have been told they cannot wear the long-awaited new Garda uniform while attending court cases – and they must instead wear their old shirt and ties to appear “formal”.
That is in spite of the years of planning and the massive €20 million cost of the new uniform, which is being rolled out among all gardai, sergeants and inspectors in the coming weeks.
