    Did anyone else see this on Facebook 'Campaign for Garda Recruitment'

    Well done to this Garda Reserve.

    That's the difference of been appreciated, other police forces actually recognising a Reserve Garda Member, unlike AGS which I don't think will ever happen.

    The powers of Reserve Gardaí will be restricted and amended at the discretion of the commissioner in accordance with Section 15 of the Garda Síochána Act 2005. Since 28 May 2007 the powers have encompassed limited Road Traffic Act powers and Section 4 of the Criminal Law Act 1997.[2]

    There are also additional powers announced by Alan Shatter, the current Minister of Justice, which will include powers to deal with public order offences and the seizure of vehicles in accordance with Section 41 of the Road Traffic Act 1961, these will be done through a phased basis, expected to be implemented at year end of 2012, although no exact date is confirmed yet

    Don't agree with you on this point . Many Reserves have been involved in captures like this one as well as a lot of other serious incidents.
