A pair of Garda squad cars have been handed a colourful make-over in preparation for this month's Dublin Pride Parade.

The rainbow colours take pride of place across the back of the vehicles - with the traditional yellow and blue side-strips also replaced for the occasion.

It comes as uniformed Gardaí prepare to take part in this year's parade for the very first time.

Revealing the colourful new look on Twitter this morning, Gardaí said members are “really looking forward” to participating in the parade.

Uniformed Gardaí joined their PSNI colleagues in Belfast gay Pride parade in 2017 – however they have never marched in uniform in Dublin.

Members of the Garda Marching Band have been involved in Dublin's Pride parade since 2014.

Announcing this year’s plan at the GRA conference in April, Garda Commissioner Drew Harris said it is “essential that An Garda Síochána reflects the diverse society we serve.”

The parade takes place in Dublin City Centre on Saturday the 29th of June.
