    Indeed it does have the required effect. Best bit of kit we have gotten in a while. Everytime I have been present at its use the end result is the same :D

    That guy will think twice before carrying on like that again.

    Sorry to drag this slightly off topic but is it optional to wear stab vests? I have seen some gardai in Galway wearing them and I would have thought that a large organisation like AGS would have very definite rules on PPE. I can't imagine they would be too comfortable in hot weather.

    i NEVER go on outdoor duty without mine. even on mountainbike. might be uncomfortable but not as uncomfortable as a knife in the chest

    There are definite rules alright and if you break them and get injured, your on your own.

    Every member gets it.. New members get them issued before they leave the college. Rare to see a member NOT wear it in the Citys, Galway excluded obviously

    Would the Garda in that incident have to do a detailed report for the powers-that-be to justify using spray ( in the same way if a firearm is used by Gardai ) ?

    Im afraid details of Garda policy practices and procedures or any part of the Garda Code are not allowed to be discussed here.

    Ooops , sorry to have raised the question - I forgot the answer would involve discussing practices and procedures.

    I would think that it was justified when he grabbed a hold of the Garda in that manner.

    There is a thread in AH about it here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=66464560?.

    It's just the pictures not the video.
