    You'd think that the patriots in the Irish Freedom Party would know:

    a) that rank and file members of the Garda Síochána are just called Gardaí now, there is no special distinction for female guards.

    b) how to spell Bean Garda in the first place :)

    They were asked to release the video of the arrest on their Facebook page to prove she was just handing out leaflets.
    Niamh O'Kham No that's for the family to release. They said they would do it later.

    Almost certainly. They're going to spin the victim angle to death and they need to dress it up as much as they can for that reason.

    Bean Garda is correct. Or was I should say when the term was in use.

    Surely the "Irish Freedom Party" would prefer a bán garda anyhow?

    Iirc the Tara and Ben primary school books in the early 1990s spelled it as Bean Garda before they revised them.

    Badoom Tish! Love it. :)

    But here's a point: what is the Irish/Gaelic idiom for a white person?

    Duine dubh, meaning literally a "black person" actually means someone with dark hair.
    Duine bán, meaning literally a "white person" actually means someone with fair hair.

    The Irish for a black skinned person is duine gorm, meaning literally a "blue person".

    What is the Irish for a white-skinned person?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,301 ✭✭✭Snickers Man


    I dont see why. Bean means woman. Ban doesn't as far as i remember.

    That was my thinking, and my memory, as well.

    I see that my own (relatively new) foclóir has the compound term bangharda as well. Which, anyway, is not the way the IFP spelled it on their website.

    Ye are wrong. Bean on its own is for woman. The prefix to modify something to a feminine version is however "Ban"


    rí = king

    banrí or banríon = queen

    You don't say "bean rí". That's like saying "King woman" rather than "queen"

    etc. etc.

    It was “bangharda”. Here’s an archive of a Dáil debate on the terminology from 1991.

    https://web.archive.org/web/20110607132614/http://historical-debates.oireachtas.ie/D/0404/D.0404.199102050035.html

    Considering so many people call them “Guards”, I’m not surprised there’s confusion on the archaic feminine terminology.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 239 ✭✭JoannieG


    As a former bangharda and later a garda, bean garda is incorrect.

    The constant use of the word “police” bu a group that would be thinking they are all about the Irish nation. Makes them seem a bunch of clowns to me.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 12,853 Mod ✭✭✭✭riffmongous


    Hm, so bangharda was the correct term, but since it's no longer used, wouldn't that make bean gharda correct now? Since it's no longer a term but a description

    So basically IFP are living in the 1950s

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    That term was used well into the late 1990s, here in Tipperary anyway. It was used in schoolbooks into the mid 1990s. It’ll gradually fade out of use

    It was tipp town around 4.30 they were being a nuisance. not thurles. It was at Dunnes.

    The idiots were being really aggressive with people getting up very close, too close to people mainly women and elderly.

    She did it to me and I had to jump away from her and no matter what way I went they were there.

    My husband came out and she then left me alone, wouldn't mind but he's the softie.

    Right shower of assholes in all fairness. Husband said I should have pulled a Gemma, whipped out the phone, recorded and start accusing them if assault etc.

    Óh by the way I didn't see the arrest only saw the behaviour pre arrest.

    I'd say the gardai would have a few good grounds all on cctv too.

    Harrasment
    Intimidating behaviour
    Aggressive behaviour from her not the dara man with her.
    Restricting the movement of people, those attempting to leave the trolly bay area
    They also breached the travel restrictions. She's from Cork and he's from Galway

    If going by Gemma law,
    assault
    Infringement of people's civil liberties

    They did a call out on fb asking from protests at the Garda station to free the tipp 2, went i passed by nó one was there

    Does anybody know anything about the irish freedom party disrupting a rosary service in Limerick yesterday that was being held for Ashling Murphy just saw it on twitter is it true and if so why they felt that was ok .



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,389 ✭✭✭h2005


    They disrupted a vigil by booming the rosary over speakers. There was no rosary as part of the vigil.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,158 ✭✭✭✭Annasopra


    A group of men doing a rosary some of whom are linked to IFP blasted their rosary into speakers to try and drown out speakers at a vigil for Ashling

    The men's rosary group may have links to the far-right Irish Freedom Party, which held a rally at the same location, Bedford Row, earlier this month.
