That’s pretty funny memo, by public service standards…
Bet there’s a few whispy faced lads fresh out of Templemore raging about being singled out though…
It’s ridiculous this is even a concern. Some people get very bad razor burn no matter how they shave.
I’m more worried about the prevalence of beer bellies than beards.
Christ, that’s an awful site to use.
Such a bizarre and unprofessional statement.
God that gives me flashbacks. I’ve said this before but I used to work at AIB and it was by far worse than any other shitey part time/student/kitchen/stressy job I’ve ever had.
The manager was an arse. One day he came to my till, withdrew 10 euro from his own account, then handed it to me in front of everyone in the foyer and told me to go and buy a razor next door and have a shave. Fucking humiliating.
It wasn’t even 5 o’clock shadow territory. I handed in my notice the next day.
“whether their partners allow them to have one or not”
WTF?! It’s like a parody trying to be funny but failing miserably.
What’s with the reference to partners? Is this some sort of old school chivalry, or is it meant as a joke? Seems weird to mention.
A fitting memo for a useless, incompetent organization

And this was jut the women they were talking about
do some religions assert beards as pious, maybe they arnt in the gardai i guess
There’s a similar standard in the Royal Navy. Sailors have two weeks or so to prove that they can grow a beard if they want to have one. After two weeks, a chief petty officer or officer inspects the growth to see if the sailor can grow a proper beard or bum fluff. If it fails inspection, it’s back to shaving.
I’m pretty sure they thought April Fools Day came a day early this year
I don’t understand the partners comment. Do they mean their wife, or their actual partner in the garda car with them?
