Met a checkpoint by LIT this morning all right, single gard on his own with no car. Pulled a santa fe or something in ahead of me.

This could be just checkpoints in the usual spots (Dock Road, outside greenhills on ennis road etc). Everytime they announce one of these operations, you'd be lucky to see 2 checkpoints if at all.

And all these things they are checking for are only offences until next Wednesday when Operation Safeguard ends...:rolleyes:

ya me and the guys in the office were laughing that the guards are making an announcement that as of tomorrow and up until wednesday they will actually be doing their jobs!! cuz i thought all along all these offences were already supposed to be enforced!!

slighty off topic but here a good example of the work ethic of Limerick gardai, yesterday i was driving out the dublin road and was driving behind a squadcar past the park when a wino was stumbling along in the middle of the road, an open bottle of cider in his hand and blood trickling down his forehead, he'd obviously been in a fight or fell over, and they drove right past him while looking at him and didnt pull over, yet if my car tax was a day out of date i'd get pulled for it,ridiculous

Winos are not people to the guards. If you ever have to call them about winos fighting for instance, do NOT say they are drunk. They will never turn up. If you say there is an assault in progress they will be there in minutes.

pretty much, you often see winos down by nancys/smyths at the weekends and the guards just let them there drinking open bottles of cider, i guarantee if i walked out there with a drink i'd get a bollocking or worse

Well, in their defence, I saw a garda turn in the gate of the Castletroy Park Hotel last week and go back towards UL. He pulled up by a couple of lads who were helping to carry a friend of theirs home between them - he did look a bit the worse for wear. Once he was satisfied that everything was ok, he drove on.
