    People are jailed for not paying a tv licence yet there are very very serious allegations of Garda abuse and criminal activities and yet not one single Garda has been arrested or jailed

    They are only allegations at the moment. Let the investigations happen then comment. Plenty of Gardaí have been convicted and jailed.

    Name one person that has spent a night in jail for not paying a tv licence. They get booted out in a matter of hours. Your whole knowledge of the situation seems to be based off the comment section of the Journal.

    Let the Gardai investigations of the Gardai continue. I'm sure we'll have a fair outcome. :D

    Name them? LOL. Maybe AGS can look up their names, but how would a citizen?

    A spokesperson from the Irish Prison Service said that people who are convicted of not paying their television licence usually serve anywhere between a couple of hours and a couple of days in jail.

    Right so you can't name even one that has spent a night.

    ANd you've conveniently ignored my post highlighting the reduction of Garda numbers by 15%. But I guess that's just your way.

    TBH your question is moronic. Why do I have to individually name people who have been jailed for not paying their TV license when we have an actual number of them to destroy your assertion that nobody at all does? If you know every one of their names will the number change?
    And after telling me three times to search for information to support YOUR theories the best you could actually find yourself was one remark from the Gardai and one statement from Gerry Adams about Louth Garda numbers?
    What about these 2000 civilians now working for AGS? That's more that 15% of the force, even if you could find any real stats to back that drop up. (which I'm guessing at this stage you can't, which is why you're begging me to do it.)
    Crime rates are falling in Ireland anyway. Not that there's any evidence there's a connection to AGS numbers mind you.

    I asked you to name one person who has spent the night in jail. There's no doubt people are sent to jail but they don't stay there. They get given their bus fare and sent home. No waste of prison space.

    What do you want? a head count? So you think Garda numbers should include non-Gardaí? Are you for real? Actually don't bother. I'm done with your trolling now. Believe what you want.

    Hey, why don't you name all the Gardai in Ireland and I'll believe you.
    That's about as useful a question as you wanting me to name all the people who have been jailed over TV licenses.
    Will I quote it again?
    A spokesperson from the Irish Prison Service said that people who are convicted of not paying their television licence usually serve anywhere between a couple of hours and a couple of days in jail.
    Which part of "a couple of days" has you utterly confused?

    Pathetic. :rolleyes:

    Come back when you stop pushing your fingers firmly into your ears and shouting lalala as loud as you can. Maybe then, an actual discussion can be had.

    A discussion? With Dan_Solo? It would be like discussing thermo-nuclear physics with a cat.

    Translation: I am incapable of answering that.
    The honesty is appreciated.

    This thread has been temporarily closed due to a number of complaints received, and to enable a fair and impartial investigation of said complaints.

    In order for the investigation to be as impartial as possible, I will be conducting the investigation, as the other 2 Moderators are both members of AGS and obvious allegations of favouritism could be levelled at either Mod if the investigation findings are wholly in favour of AGS.

    -Shield.
