The Garda

    Hello out there,

    This is my first message on B.IE. So, to cut to the chase, I am in the process of writing a comic novel that is set in the Baltinglass area and I would like some help with colloquially terms for individual Garda officers. I understand that an officer is called a guard, but I am not sure how that is pronounced. For instance, should I write 'guard', 'g'ard', or g'arda? Or are all three interchangeable?
    Also, I would like some help with regard to the formation and the use of Garda Public Order Units. Are they only deployed as a last resort, or would they be called out to any crowd situation, before it turned ugly?

    My digits are poised,

    David.
