Ah c'mon now,we need context (apart from the few can's and sunshine).

Given that it's Galway (?),is it about the organs of the State oppressing the Constitutional right to disrobe.

Is Tommy Donnelan back from Gaza ?

I don't see what the problem with stripping down to his underwear was? He wasn't naked... if he had been wearing a pair of short shorts from pennys he would have been left alone.

Context minidazzler......no sound track...no preamble...all we are presented with is the Big Bad Garda pictured gettin physical with the sunbather.....everybody knows that's what they teach the Gardai in Templemore...."We'll have nuna that stuff here now "....:D

OR.....the Garda seeing Mr Flab disrobing with the discarded cars of fizzy-pop lying nearby,formed the opinion that Mr Flab was going to jumpin for a swim in The Claddagh....that combination of Flab,Booze and Sunshine coulda ended up with a real emergency...but hey,it's SO oppressive this lark of saving people from themselves....?

It's your language that most people would object to.

That's a very real concern. I saw a guy being pulled from the river about 18 months ago and it was scary as hell. He must've fallen in a far way up. I was cycling along the canal and next thing this guard came running down and grabbed one of those life saver rings. A guy came under the bridge (lucky not to bash his head off it) and the guard threw the ring, which the guy missed. The guard pulled it in, ran down another bit and threw it again. Luckily the guy caught it the second time. The embankmemt was too steep and full of growth for anyone to do anything but wait for the fire brigade to come. It was only a few minutes but it felt like ages. The guy was getting really cold in the water and they were afraid he would let go. If he did, he would've passed the through the last bridge and gone out to sea. It was very scary to watch and I can understand why guards take a dim view of people who could fall in.

Tl:dr it's all fun and games until someone falls into the river. The guard did the right thing. That guy was acting the tool and maybe the whack to his leg saved his life.
