Surely that post can't be right? I find it doubtful that a Garda car would be lifted solely for being in a designated bus space? Garda cars are exempt from the Traffic Act, so surely they can park where they like.

I'd imagine it broke down. That looks like a recovery vehicle rather than a towing vehicle. Also, I'd imagine its an offence to impound a marked Garda vehicle

Yeah that's what I was thinking myself, actually (breakdown).

Interfering with a Garda vehicle including towing it or clamping it could get your arrested.

Whether no not your are convicted in court is another matter but there is a power of arrest for obstructing a Garda in the course of his duty.

Impounding or clamping a Garda vehicle would definitely fall under the terms of obstructing a Garda in the course of his duty, If the Garda was using that vehicle in the course of his duty.

Power of arrest comes from Section 24 Criminal Justice (Public Order) Act 1994.

Ah right, just looked a lot like NAS. Good to get some help I suppose, I hope the patient was well!

Must have been a serious enough condition patient, it's unlikely that enough Gardaí to stop traffic in both directions just happened to be on the motorway, that took some planning.

Anyone know what the situation was with the bus and transit van in Clontarf in the picture. Looks like a nasty crash, memory serves me right that would be a van and a Ford Fiesta that have been wrote off from Clontarf in the last year (year and a half maybe).

Hope everyone's making a good recovery.

Dunno how it happened, but it was a nasty crash. Hopefully the members are recovering ok. I cant remember the fiesta being written off. Van has been replaced by another 04 transit already.

Fiesta was wrote off on Vernon Ave was in a pursuit. Lost control and hit a street light, DFB removed the roof. Think it was a 04 Black Fiesta.

Video description says M1 near Dundalk. Also noticed the silver Mondeo that KKV took photos of a few months ago.

Anyone else find it a tad ironic that all you can hear at the start of the video is our Beloved Minister on the radio

I think the drivers of the two cars directly behind and the van that races up are complete morons.

Copped that myself. Paused the video to check the number plate (assumed it was down the country somewhere for some reason, until I seen the "Boyne" truck fly past on the other side of the motorway).

As an aside, I've noticed that RSU Volvo seems to be keeping it's presence about the Drogheda Station now a lot (could be just coincidence, of course, but I keep seeing it around the place and parked up at the Drogheda station).

Wonder if it's Drogheda's now, or if I just happen to come across it by chance a lot.

the Regional support unit would cover the whole regional which its based in due to the awful incident accrued on friday night there detailed to there to back up district and divisional unit with work due to major case investigation .

I would presume that the SIO would want them close just incase

Liking the blue lights on the Focuses, looks well.
Are the Connects meant for detainee transport? Bit cramped aren't they?
