¿Qué puede significar ese "cont..."? y ¿debería dejar Garda Siochana? (no hay suficiente espacio para explicar el significado)

It's not carried forward from a previous page, is it? Otherwise I can't imagine what it is.

I would suggest "The Irish Police" for An Garda Siochana. The ideal solution, if space allows, would be to put one or the other between brackets, if not, just "The Irish Police". After all, we call the Army "The Irish Army", although its proper name is "Óglach na hÉireann".

Si 'cont' significa "continuación"

...pondría

La policía irlandesa An Garda Siochana (cont.)

Dejando An Garda Siochana en cursiva con lo cual tendría los elementos básicos de comprensión en poco espacio.


An Garda Síochána, or to give the full title, Gárda Síochana na hÉireann (English: 'Guardians of the Peace of Ireland', formerly the Civic Guard) is the Republic of Ireland's national police force. The force as a unit is generally called the Garda, while when referring to members of the force collectively the plural Irish language word Gardaí is used. The latter is more widely used by Irish people, or the English term "the guards". An officer is referred to as a garda; sometimes a female officer is referred to as a bangharda, though this is becoming less common. Garda headquarters are located in Phoenix Park, Dublin.
