Black Gardai

6541

Can people settle an argument for me please. Has anyone ever come across a black guard ?

sumsar

Haha now that you say it, I don't ever remember seeing one!

Grahamer666

Not yet. I've seen a few Asian Garda though.

dashoonage

Seriously ? **** off.

boombang

Is it blaggards you're thinking of?

amcalester

No, but I've seen some very very very dark blue Gardai.

beertons

Not last night anyway.

BillyBobBS

Nope. The Gardai are a deeply racist organisation.

Nekarsulm

90% of white applicants can't get in , what chance has a black one?

Any evidence to back that claim?

There's loads of black guards according to the latest garda figures. I've no reason to doubt them.

I'm guessing your Clan buddies told you that BillyBob?

I've seen a couple of Asian Gardai, but never a black one.

I won't be happy until 50 percent of gardai are black

Can't recall ever seeing a non "white Irish" Garda

Lack of black Gardai.

Paleblood

Garda recruitment is based on the 'Terry's exclusion rule' - no black or orange.

Also another observation, I live in rural Ireland and l don't think an ethic minority Garda could make an arrest of any of the bucks around here.

Fighting Tao

Yes I have but I don’t see what the big deal would be.

As Ireland continues to become more diverse, is this an issue that needs to be addressed by some sort of policy

I'm sure if black people wanted to join they would be accepted if they met the necessary criteria or do you think we should make an exception for them and apply different criteria to their applications? (Leaving irish language aside as there is already an irish exemption for non irish people)

Not really.

The best person should be picked for the job regardless of their colour.

No point putting in a few black or brown lads just to mix it up a bit and look good for the PC crowd if they aren't up to the job.

Peregrinus

There has been at least one.

Googling suggests he was still serving in 2015.

boardsuser1

Any of these guys around?

lazybones32

I want to see more Itinerant Gardai.

Get a few Gurkha is as Gardai.

In fact, get a few hundred in and unleash them on Dublin City.
Crime would be cleared up in 90 days.

Actually there are a few

Atoms for Peace

We need Sikh gardai armed with kirpans. Although I believe the gards have a ban on beards in place.

I don't doubt you though.

There was a black guard who used to present Garda Patrol in the 80's, well to be specific he was mixed race.

No beards, visible tattoos or grotesque jewellery allowed. Which rules out a career in the Gardai for those identikit 'I work in a barber' lads at any point.

Do you mean someone from Spain (who would be white) or hispanic in the US sense of the word, non white from Latin America?

Very true. Lot of reform required. Pat kenny show currently discussing this

There used to be a Chinese cop in Cork City, young lads in Barrack St used to give him dog's abuse.

No any guards I've come across have been Irish personally.


Joking.



I've seen an Asian guard and I know a Lithuanian (by birth) guard but he's as Irish as me so that doesn't count

What's the difference between these two? Genuine question.

In the UK, "Asian" often refers to the Indian/Pakistani region, whereas here in Ireland "Asian" usually means Chinese/Japanese/Korean region.

To be fair, the accusations against Maurice McCabe didn't appear out of thin air. The story around it appearing on a Tusla file is suspicious AF, but there is an actual person behind the claims of inappropriate conduct against Garda McCabe, it wasn't just made up.

The first black Gardai joined in the mid 80's, one male and one female. They had the same surname but were not related. The female Garda was stationed in Pearse St and I think he was in Store St.
