    Civil Servants of the Civil Service are civil servants.

    Anyone else wholly or mostly employed by the state are public servants. Gardai, Defence Forces, HSE, Local Authorities, schools and colleges etc. The Civil Servants run the bodies that oversee all the other public bodies. Dept of Justice, Dept of Education. Revenue is also defined as civil service.

    Gardaí are therefore public servants.

    correct, civil servants are employed under the civil service regulation acts, gardai are employed under the garda acts.
