Reading the Sindo yesterday at the end of the article on Cowens Merc in storage it made reference to a minister that none of the Garda pool drivers wanted to drive because they are apparantly fed up been used to chauffeur his / her family around. Anybody know this individuals identity !

What do you mean "individual" ?

Remember sppeding state car taking O'Donoghues missus and sprocks back to the Kingdom after match in Croker ?
Remember one of our presidents sprocks being daily dropped off at work/college in Leeson St or Baggot St by state car ?
I do remember many moons ago a certain young Flynn sprock being dropped off in UCG by state car.

They are all at it and no BIK either.

It's probably Martin Cullen or Beverly Cooper Flynn. I'm surprised the Garda drivers can actually refuse to do the task, I thought it was very much a case of having to obey lawful instructions, no matter how unpalatable you find them to be.

You can cross Willie O'Dea off that list. The guy is popular with everyone.

I suspect the family of the President, Taoiseach and Minister for Justice (because he deals with nasty people) are entitled to some state-provided security, not given to others.

Beverly is a back-bencher, not a minister.

The above is clearly a very well informed opinion. :rolleyes:

I think the garda driver should follow orders and quit their moaning.
Sure, the posters here can blast the ministers all they want but I don't want to read stories about garda drivers not liking or enjoying their job. Want to go back to foot patrol around some dodgy estates instead?

Dick Roche is a junior minister, all Junior Ministers are driven by civilian drivers. Only full ministers get Garda drivers.

More supposition masquerading as truth.
