    Not the first time a member has been targeted and won't be the last time.

    Hundreds of Gardai have had their homes, cars and families attacked.

    Plenty have had contracts taken out on their lives.

    One of the guards down here in Buttevant had his car burnt out a few weeks ago while we were on duty. Not a nice thing to happen to anyone but the peole that carry out the attacks

    I can give you an example of a station in the Midlands with a station party of 22.

    In the last 3 years:

    3 graffiti incidents on homes.
    4 cars had tyres slashed.
    2 cars brake fluid poured over paint work
    Threatening mail directly addressed to the wives of two gardai.

    A small midlands town which I'm sure is not unique.

    I can think of 10 - 15 incidents from the minor to the more serious in my area. I'm sure with some 10 - 14 thousand people in the organisation there probably would be hundreds of incidents across the country.
