The current emblem for the Garda Síochána (the Irish national police) contains a number of errors.
The first error is that the name is wrong. The current graphic says Sarda Síochána. This is likely because the original graphic used the insular G (Ᵹ), which at first blush can look a lot like an S.
Letters are inconsistent in their size, positioning, and shape.
Text baselines are inconsistent (e.g. the 'na' in the lower left and the 'hÉireann' in the lower right)
The triquetras are slightly lopsided. While some of that imbalance is found on the original (in order to make a negative space cross), these are also slightly lopsided laterally as well.
The GS letter mark in the centre could likely use a bit of smoothing
