Original Note:
The only gardai in Ireland that carry heavy guns are a special unit called the Emergency Response Unit. Uniformed Gardai do not carry firearms. It is, therefore, unlikely that armed gardaí would be used in a situation where a mere statement was being requested. https://www.dublinlive.ie/news/dublin-news/gardai-guns-police-ireland-weapons-21791664?int_source=amp_continue_reading&int_medium=amp&int_campaign=continue_reading_button#amp-readmore-target
