Bean gharda / Garda

Capri · 2014-10-09 11:45:31

Considering that there's a focus on individual groups being represented in AGS, is it time to revert to calling the girls Bean Gardai again, and when/why did it change in the first place seeing as it's linguistically correct to call one a Bean Gharda ? Just looking at this in the Met…
