Officer Byrne: Nicky Byrne reveals he nearly joined the Gardai

Nicky Byrne admitted on 2fm this morning that, before finding his way to Westlife, he nearly joined the Gardai.

On The Nicky Byrne show today, he explained to cohost Jenny Greene and their guest Joe Duffy that, after returning from his stint at Leeds United, he applied to work as a garda – and was accepted!

“I did come back and do my leaving and apply for the gards. And I got the gards!” he said.

Career: Nicky wanted to join the gardai

“My mum still has the letter from An Garda Siochana,” he added.

“She was very proud.”

Joe Duffy was the show’s guest this morning, and, of course, he chimed in on this revelation. He was the quiz master for the show’s Wednesday Wee-Wind segment today and added his two cents when Nicky admitted the news.

Duffy suggested it was no surprise Nicky was drawn to the gardai in his youth, jibing, “They were never out of the house anyway!”
