    Think it is some waste of tax payers money pumping millions in looking after theses scum incase they escape!!!!! Put up an electric fence if they want to escape let them fry, Instead of pumping millions in army security into these scum.
    I dont think the army in the north guarded the h- block so why do we still have the army looking over these scum??:mad::mad::mad::mad:

    the money its spent every year to form up a platoon to go in... rations...ammo on range......rations in the prison to feed soldiers then money paid to soldiers to be in their dont know how much but it aint cheap. Better off spending the money on an electric fence fry the whores if they want to escape:)

    They will get rations irrespective of in PL or not

    Ah here, you can say that about anything!

    Taking soldiers our of PL is a mistake, not because of who is in there but because if we start taking away the small bit we do in the state, we may aswell take away everthing. Thats where it will end up.

    I presume you are an exer, did you do 21 or more or less? Surely as an exer you see the importance of the lads doing the job?

    The cost to the taxpayer (as you know) in negligable and barely a speck of the GDP of the state. If you want to post you anger at the waste of taxpayers money, then where is your argument for the bailouts? There is bigger "waste" there. What abour the Goverment salaries?

    Stop picking "easy" arguments.

    Im ex pdf and did duty in the prison in the eighties, back then it was mostly political prisoners that were held there and a military guard was
    definatly needed.As the political scene has changed I wonder is a military
    presence needed any more.Im sure the prison services are well able to
    to deal with these offenders. Is a reason for the army being there that
    Im missing?

    The BA gaurded HMP Maze. I think it is a similar arrangement to Portlaoise(Soldiers outside and Prison Officers inside)


  • Registered Users Posts: 311 ✭✭KickstartHeart


    The BA did guard the maize prison. Their failure to follow basic SOP's ended up causing a massive escape..but we'll not get into that...


    Why do people think things to do with the military are a 'waste of money'.

    Last year single parents cost the state 2 Billion in social welfare. The Defence Forces and what it does costs a hell of a lot less, and actually gives something. If your'e looking to brand things as a 'waste of money' point elsewhere.


    There are still very dangerous prisoners in that prison. Ireland is not texas, our police and prison service are primarily not armed. With prisoners like that there needs to be an armed guard. The Defence Forces fills that gap.

    I wouldnt pump ANY money into the health system here until a Price Waterhouse Cooper-esque analysis and recommendations bearing white paper was conducted AND enacted JUST like was done with the defence forces back in 99.

    The Health service in ireland is a GIANT MONEY SLURPING HORRIBLE C*NT OF A BLACK HOLE.

    I wouldn't slag the Brits off too much its not as if the defense forces prevented all escapes
