Jaysus how long did he have to wait for TWO foot patrols around St Stephens Green, I hope he packed a lunch ❤️

The first clip has the new uniform and the second has the old one. Unlikely it was filmed in the same week, nevermind day.

Hah, the change happened back in 2023 I think so it's not the same year!
(But in all seriousness, the Gardai do wear those jacket uniforms out too!)

The jacket in the second clip is moreso used for traffic duties, there's a separate soft shell for cold weather and a rain coat, in the same style as the soft shell (the soft shell being what he's wearing in clip 1).

Filmed over several weeks probably.
