    You are a mod. I am correct in saying that and you are stating that you are a member of AGS ?????

    You ask a question, I answer it and then received an insult. Did you start out with that intention. What could I have done to you that would warrant such a response from a moderater. Certainly makes me think that this is somehow personal and nothing to do with my post. I am of course open to correction on that

    I am a user of boards.ie who happens to be a moderator. When I post in bold, take it as a moderator instruction. When I'm posting like this I am like another poster.

    You have done nothing to me, however, it is my opinion that you would not be suited to being a member of An Garda Síochána going by all your previous posts. I do not believe I in anyway insulted you. If you believe I did, feel free to report the post.

    Well I didn't know about the bold thing thanks for that.

    I have reported it because you and I know it was a clear directed and conscious insult.

    Coming from a family of Gardai I have some sense of who would be suitable.. From your previous posts you claim to be a member I did ask that question in my previous post but you failed to answer the question so your opinion is one of a Garda who is assigned to the traffic corp. When I was offered a place in the college it was a chief superintendent who sat on the interview board and not a Garda. so your opinion and you are entitled to have
    one and express it but it is for far senior officers to make the decisions who gets accepted and who does not.

    It's only jealousy , don't mind him. Some Mules don't like to see reserves who carry Garda identification the same as them driving 2013 bmws and lexus and living in big houses especially ones they get for free from their companies. Vast majority of mules couldn't give a ****e. Evidently he is in the minority begruding category. Sad especially for a mod on here.

    You didn't deserve that comment. It would only come from begrudgers imo.

    Surely people can't be that petty to judge you on the basis that you earn more than them????
    That angle never crossed my mind. I work with a great unit and have never heard anyone whinging and moaning about what type of car or house each other's have. Have had them to mine during the summer for barbecues and visa versa and the green eyed monster has never risen it ugly head. Have to count my blessings that I work in a station where anyone who puts in the work is appreciated

    He's the first I've come across tbh. Unless Im reading it wrong he has an issue with your pay grade and is linking your income requirements with your suitability for full time AGS.

    Whatever the issue is, not worth worrying about . Just thought it was sad that a mod would resort to making such comments.

    About time.. Years later...!
    If you need to use them...

    Irish Independent this morning

    GARDA RESERVE

    Meanwhile, it emerged yesterday that members of the Garda Reserve now have the power to issue fixed charge penalty notices and serve summonses.

    It is one of a range of new measures introduced to the Reserve following an internal review carried out by Garda Commissioner Martin Callinan.

    Its powers and functions have been extended to such areas as domestic violence, child protection, conflict resolution and garda policy on bullying and harassment.Reserve members have also been given powers under the Public Order Acts in relation to the seizure of vehicles and are being issued with Tetra radios when going on duty.

    But Mr Shatter said yesterday it was not intended to further extend their powers.

    Always good to have them just in case. Dont know where the Tetra radio bit came from . I have always had a radio when I out on patrol. Perhaps they mean a personal issue tetra.

    Powers under the Public Order Acts in relation to the seizure of vehicles?? WHAT?

    1. Public order.
    2. Seizure of Vehicles, Well s.41 covers that. I think the reporter is getting mixed up!

    And are being issued with Tetra radios when going on duty.??
    I always had one myself out of the pool radios... But it is hard chasing the sergeant around trying to get one signed out! They need to come up with a better plan, with regards to signing out radios. It's a joke!

    Nice to see these powers, But!
    I'll believe it!!!
    When it turns up on the portal at work!

    Wow. What a pair of self-congratulatory tw*ts. I really hope, as a member of the public that I or mine never have to deal with the likes of you, and can only echo that mod's sentiment and extend it to include the second poster.
