    I have a feeling we're gonna be disappointed lads. Either the guard won't be there, or she won't have done anything, or the other driver won't have been home. Not long to go, I'll be back!

    Have some faith in her, she will not have forgotten.


    She wasn't there :/ hopefully will get a call back.

    It's not a waste time as we can all learn something from it. I have faith in the guard coming back with some news.
    If she is just back from rest days then give her a chance to do something. If she is on nights she has only just started work again lets wait and see.

    Come on man, clearly Pa Dee is right. He should just give up and pay the money.

    Shows over folks, nothing to see here.

    :rolleyes:

    Not sure - think she mentioned a split shift. It was her that told me to ring at nine, tho I fully appreciate where I stand on the list of priorities :)

    Just because she's working, doesn't mean she's in the station. Hope you get a call back soon. :)

    I can sense the end is near, it saddens me but in a bittersweet way tbh. I'll be glad you're sorted but I'll miss the thread.

    Nothing is ever what it seems in this country. There will be a twist. I can feel it in my bones. This thread will continue to run.

    Wait till the court case is on. When the judge asks "who are all those people in the gallery?" We will all shout "Boards representatives".

    I reckon the twist will be that the guard is actually the driver

    Have you thought about going above the Gardas head on this one? Its pretty obvious that she has no interest in getting this sorted for you, so maybe a chat with her superintendant might get things moving along...

    I have djimi, but I have to be realistic.
    The most likely response the super will give me is that the guard couldn't chase up the driver who did a little bit of damage to my car because she was sorting out a woman who was beaten by her husband or something.

    What's really frustrating is that she seems to work for two days and then is gone for five.

    I'm annoyed that the case lies with one guard only, and that another guard can't say "actually, she's off till Tuesday, give me the pulse number and I'll chase it up for you".

    I'm also 95% sure that when I call next week, we'll be no further along the line. Someone was seen causing damage to my car and driving off, and it's beginning to look like her gamble paid off.

    It wouldnt kill the Garda to take two minutes to give you a phone call to update you, even if there is no actual update. I would still be inclined to go to the superintendant; at the very least they might assign it to someone else to chase up. I know its not a big deal in the grand scheme of things for the Gardai but its still their responsibility to try and get it sorted for you.

    Exactly, things like this seem to play into the offending party's hands. The victim gets worn down and so annoyed with the whole situation that they just give up and forget about the whole thing.

    Don't give in!

    I wouldn't go to the Super, it's just asking for trouble.

    If it was me, I'd wait another week and then /perhaps/ drop into the station to have a quiet word with the Garda in charge. If that doesn't work, /then/ I'd go to the Super.

    that's the plan, I think. Just humbly ask if maybe it could be assigned to another guard who isn't as....busy.

    Just want to reiterate, no criticism of the guard or even her shift patterns - I'd say she never gets a minute to herself, and I totally understand that there are bigger fish to fry. It just seems crazy that we're nearly a calendar month along and we still don't even know if the other driver has insurance or not.

    I'm trying to buy a car off a Guard selling used as a foxer at the moment, because they get paid feck all and OT is off the cards atm. Between that and the weird hours they work, you can understand it to a certain extent. It's an absolute pain in the hole though.
