Okay kiddo, so you know how sometimes grown-ups need to share important information with other grown-ups to make sure everyone stays safe? Well, sometimes the Garda (that's the police in Ireland) needs to do that too.
When the Garda has important information they need to share with people, they send out what's called a "Garda Information Message". This message goes out to lots of different people, like other police officers and government officials, but sometimes it also goes out to regular people like you and me!
So what kind of information might they share in a Garda Information Message? It could be anything from warning people about a dangerous person in the area, to telling people to be careful during bad weather.
It's important to pay attention to these messages, because they can help keep us safe. But don't worry, if you hear about a Garda Information Message and you're not sure what to do, you can always ask a grown-up for help.
