"They're only kids" — but the gards don't go back there.... Q. What's the difference between the Gardaí and the Kaiser Chiefs?... "With all due respect for the uniform" — an apocryphal if not imaginary old law... * An Garda Síochána is the official name of "The Guardians of the Peace." Officers are gardaí (in plural,) or garda (in singular) — but colloquially, "the gards" and "a gard."

The root is one of only a few Gaelic Irish words that remain in common use.
