Injuries on the job

Traumadoc

Treated lots of guards with broken bones , there were a few back when joyriding and ramming was popular.
Lacerations to the face from being hit with iron bars, human bites, tendon injuries, soft tissue inuries. spinal injury. Pepper spray ( we all got contaminated in the emergency department!) etc etc

I would think that joyriding and ramming would be more popular then ever.

If any of the Gardai here are in large stations... How many of your collegues would be out of work at any given time due to injury?Even for a couple of days.It must affect man power?

The banner (female Garda) called for assistance and they ran away.

They ran away, not the female Garda!
Apparently she saved the day, so you'll be glad to know your taxes are going to excellent use!

2 lads recovering after weekend attack in Limerick

A Limerick garda has undergone surgery after having part of his ear bitten off during an incident in the city over the weekend.

A second garda received serious facial injuries in the same incident on Saturday night.

The two gardai were responding to a dispute at a fast-food outlet on O'Connell Street when they came under attack.

One received 10 stitches to his forehead and suffered facial bruising, while the second garda had a part of his ear bitten off.

Gary Culhane, with an address at Hyde Avenue, Ballinacurra Weston, has been charged with assault causing harm to the two Gardai.

At a special sitting of Limerick District Court yesterday, the 31-year-old was remanded in custody until Wednesday

TheNog

is he likely to just get a slap on the wrists? Answer = probably

here's to hoping a quick recovery for both lads

Should be pushing for a Section 4 charge.

yayamark

Sec 4 is prob the most serious charge u could give before murder, manslaughter. Dont thnk they'll go with that

bunk

id say the sec.3 charge is only a holding charge, there will have to be a file for a sec.4 charge, and if a chunk of the members ear is gone there would be grounds for recommending it, but dont forget about the good aul sec.19 charge, never fails.

FGR

Doesn't it all depend on getting the DPP to go with the 19? The 3 is a nice holder even if it might be the only charge used.

Eru

19 is not going to recieve anymore consideration than the current s3 charge. In fact, probable a lot less consideration or sentence. S4 is where a person is disfigured or permently maimed as a result. Big chunk of your ear missing is both visible and possible life changing. I reckon the DPP will run with it.

i agree with you 100%, the sec.19 can be thrown in as well, if directions are given for sec.4 and down the road it falls in court its another charge to fall back on with the sec.3, there more the little f**cker has against him the better.

Well if the ammo was faulty then he has a case. Were not at the Americans standards yet are we? McDonalds made me fat, My coffee was hot, etc. I shot myself, the police should have stopped me. Just like the Incredibles

Eh, i'm sorry but any person trained in firearms use is responsible for a weapon the second it goes into their hands. Even if the round was faulty to me it is irrelavent. According to that article he was dismantling the weapon. He should of carried out correct safety precautions before starting to strip it

maglite

I'll have a slight civi point on this, normally you would't chamber a round but i can see d duty weapon possibly having a round chambered, is this the case?

And if you drop the mag you should they clear the chamber. It sounds like he did't look and then pulled the trigger, while his hand was in the way.

If he was an expert or even someone who received any training he should know to treat it was loaded all the time and never point it at something he was not willing to put a whole in. I cant even see how my hand would come to be in front of the barrel while stripping.

Sounds like he made a bobo and is looking for compo, the idea of having 2 present for a strip and clean is stupid
