Penalty points for Tommy Walsh?

Not sure if you noticed the Kerry All Ireland winner Tommy Walsh on the news last night. He was filmed driving his VW whatever by RTE News and he was not wearing his seatbelt. Penalty points? Doubt it because of who he is.

Looked like it was on private property to me.

Just thought it was interesting because the Gardai go after speeders who posted themselves on youtube yet he breaks the law on national telivision and he gets away with it

Have you a clip to it?
How do you know the gardai are doing nothing about it?
Have you made a complaint to the gardai?

I think the point being, that if you have such an issue with it, why don't you report it and see if you can get soemthing done about it..... instead of complaining nothing being done on the interent....
The garda might not be aware of it.....

1. OK, I haven't seen the incident in question.
2. You claimed that "the Gardai go after speeders who posted themselves on youtube yet he breaks the law on national television and he gets away with it", yet you have no knowledge if the gardai are aware of it, or if they are aware that they are letting him away with it. For all you know, he could have been stopped up the road and fined, etc.
3. You bitch about it on here and complain that the gardai are treating him differently from other civilians yet you don't try andf make a complaint in the off chance that they are unaware of it.

FFS! :rolleyes:

Well you are complaining. You're complaining that he won't get penalty points "because of who he is", but you've completely failed to take into account that the people who can issue penalty points are unaware than an offence has been committed.
