    They are under no obligation to reutrn him home.

    In fact they are not covered to carry a person in a patrol car who is not under arrest.

    So does that mean when they offered me a lift home after those 10 pints I had they were in fact breaking the law themselves?

    Not breaking the law, breaking their disciplinary code.

    If you had 10 pints they were probably concerned for your safety. They are allowed carry witnesses to crimes and stuff like that.

    So it is ok to arrest a person in Cork and take them to Dublin, question them for 8 or 12 hours and then release them, and not return them to Cork?

    What if the person had no means of getting home? Sounds odd.

    I had it explaine dot me once. If they arrest you only to relise you had nothing to do with it, they might give you a lift home. If they think you did it, but they can't hold you, you walk.

    Should they not be concerned for your safety if you are taken from your home in a pair of runners, t-shirt and trousers, no wallet, no money, saying you can go now at say, 3am 20 miles from your home?

    Could you do them for abduction? hehe

    Open to correction on this one but they should have swifted you in the cells for being drunk in a public place and a danger to yourself or others (Drunk & Incapable). It is not a good practice to run drunks home as
    1. They are not a taxi service.
    2. The drunk may collapse at home and choke to death on their own vomit after the Gardaí leave.

    Their (the drunk) last point of contact being the Gardaí. If a person is very drunk then hospital should be considered not the cells.
