We should take all the crosses down, soak them in petrol, plant them in 'selected' front gardens, then set them on fire - just to show we don't favour any particular religion! :eek:

Individual Gardai should not be allowed wear or express religious, sexist or political opinions. Were a police force, a uniformed united organisation with 1 purpose. Were not considered individuals nor are we recuiters for whatever organisation or faith you believe in. We also took an oath to enforce the law without fear, favour or malice which means we treat people equally.

As for the Christmas tree, thats a symbol connected with a national holiday and is not a symbol of Jesus or God, etc.

I dont believe officers should wear or show their opinions but I dont see anything wrong with showing a small item in general display that refers to the holiday and not the religion. Mind you I dont pay attention to such things anyway

I think we're reading from the same hymn sheet.
