I presume they mean the Garda Age card as I know of no other.
My partner today received a letter from Waterford cu which we are both with stating that
they accept the Garda age card as proof of i.d. when clearly this is the case....
Age Card
An Age Card is a “proof of age card” and not an “Identity Card”. The Age Card is solely for the purpose stated above and should not be obtained or used for any other purpose.

Institutions seem to make up their own rules what to accept in the absence of a Passport
or Driving Licence and soo many citizens don't have those and are forced to ask a garda who probably doesn't know them to certify that they do by signing an ML10 form thereby asking a
garda to lie for them. Its a right mess and even the Public Services Card is not accepted.
