Anti stab vests are not the same as flak jackets!
If it saves one Guards life, I am happy for them to wear what they want. They are a professional police force and the stab vests are pretty common in every country now especially in the UK since their police force is also unarmed.
So what if the guy or gal at the polling station gets called to a domestic straight after their stint at the polling station?Yeah thats fine - no argument there - but there is a diff between wearing one in the city at 3am after people pouring out of nightclubs as opposed to at a polling station in a primary school at 5pm in the afternoon.

,,,,yeah bu common sense should prevail in fairness. Each situation is different.
It's NOT a flak jacket as implied by the original post. If it was then it might add more weight to the original argument/point about alleged militarisation of Garda uniforms/equipment. Hardly a merely semantic or off topic point? Unlike yours?and FF and FG are two fundamentally different political parties worlds apart, cop on, whats the pleasure in hopping on peoples words after doing a dictionary search, I'm sure they have some official term but for the laypeople its just armoured clothing.
it seems to have started with heavy boots
AFAIK, the guards have been told that they don't have to wear these jackets, but they may have problems with their insurance if they are injured on duty and not wearing them.
