Garda Merchandise

Tango Alpha 51

Was just wondering if anyone on the forum who is a member of AGS has any concerns re the fact that "garda" merchandise has now gone on sale again despite being taken off the market last year. Surely this is a sure fire way for the criminal fraternity to pretend to be members for dubious means.

Use of the crest without permission is a breach of copyright; Dont think the word GARDA is however; Where are these on sale and what exactly is on sale?

I remember last year it was reported that there was a guy selling Garda merhancise near O'Connell St in Dublin but he didn't have permission from the Commish to do it.

Here is the news report.

That motorsports shop on Terenure Road is selling them. I got a cup from a fella. On the bottom it says something like Garda logo copyright Garda upsSiochana. I think they've been allowed to sell the incidental items like cups and fridge magnets - but not items like caps or T-shirts or such like.

They actually are letting Dubs in? I thought that was just a vicious rumour!
So when I apply, there is the chance that if I get accepted, I may have Dubs in my class!!?:eek:

Remember they deregulated the taxis?

They did the same with the Gardai and funny enough, the Dub guards will only stay on their own side of the Liffey too and they get nose bleeds west of Leuuuucan.

The culchies or the dubs?

Imagine a garda merchandise shop. One of the women on Henry St. could run it from her pram!

Deadwood, the women with their prams are on moore st not henry st, but at least now we all know what I meant ;-) ..But back on topic, i have a Garda crest fridge magnet that I got from the shop in the college. If I say wanted to dress up as copper face jacks barbie from langerland for halloween would it be an offense to use that for my hat??

Impersonating Gardai is an offence. Regardless of how convincing or not the attempt is.

Besides, the stuff is actually being sold from a model shop on Capel Street, Dublin 1. Its harmless stuff like tie pins and cups which may have the logo but are not the same as the ones on issue (tie pin that is).

Maybe if the job actually gave us something we could use as swaps when various UK and US cops arrive in half of Store street and Pearce Street wouldnt be shopping there.

And as a Northside Dub mule I can tell you I get asked for directions by more bogger mules than tourists!

Maybe, but using a garda fridge magnet as a hat isn't going to keep you warm or dry.

Would you pick me up one? I lost mine at a hay eating contest at the Spring Show last year.
