    Gardai enforce the law: they don't legislate it or necessarily even agree with it. I don't see anything that hypocritical about Gardai taking drugs and having to arrest other people for same unless they, say, get off being charged because of being a Guard.
    Id be of the opposite opinion myself. I think workplace ethics and integrity are extremely important in any job, especially a job like a garda.

    Ended up back at a random session in a house after the pub one night. So low and behold there was cans and skins and weed all out on the table. Another resident of the house arrives back in soon and walks into the kitchen, proceeds to whack out some "white substance" on the table and snort his brains out. One of the others gets up and closes over the kitchen door and then the hammer drops.

    On the coat hook on the back of the door were three hi vis garda jackets. Got a bit of a shock to say the least. Good session all the same. Would of loved to rob a jacket off the door!

    To insult members of AGS of course ;).

    Although personally I find anyone who works in IT, tech support, etc to be all pigs and nerds and uncomfortable to be around.

    I never said that I like putting them in compromising positions. I said that I like doing things that would put them in such positions. Subtle difference.

    A friend of mine is a Garda, and he's the exact same as he was before he was a Garda. Dead genuine lad, and funny as **** too!

    if someone oinked at your kid your hubby and his thug work mates would probably just invade their home and beat them with their batons or make their life a living hell,like the mcbeartys in dun na gall.

    If someone bullied my kid (or sister, as I don't have kids!) I'd call round to the persons house and try sort it out, and if I got guff of the father I'd stitch him a head butt... simple as. I'm not a guard.

    Also this thread is ridiculously stupid, guards are school-leavers, graduates, sisters, sons, fathers etc. Anyone who has had a incident with a weird/asshole guard just means that person was weird or an asshole.

    Also I'm surprised at the mods allowing some of these posts, if you replaced the word 'guards' with 'blacks' or 'Muslims' there'd be bans all over the place.

    Typical Irish people ****ting on their own doorstep.

    I totally agree, in fact that post in part refers to her child, i can understand why she was annoyed at such a statement and IMO was very measured in her response to what was obviously a troll that was personalised.

    I think it is totally unrealistic to expect every guard to be honest or ethical. Some will be and some wont be and some will be criminal, ambitious and dishonest.

    It isa good thing nowadays that you get garda prosecutions for criminal behavior.

    That usen't to happen.

    a few chaps who i was friends at school with are cops now...strangely enough they all have a similar type of drab seriousness about them when i see them about off duty......although in fairness they were never comedians in school either....

    I can see the reason for that as some employers/employments monitor employees on-line social stuff. A close friend who works at a senior level in IT is obsessive about having a very low key presence.

    A guy I know told me last week that he turned down a guy who interviewed best for a job with financial responsibility after reading his Facebook.

    So your brothers friend may have had sound reasons.
