    As per Sgt Bilko's post in the vehicle gallery.

    Proper use of all resources, a fine deterrent I think.

    They use the prison transport trucks for major events like protests that attract a certain type of protester. They had them for some high profile matches too. Prisoner gets picked up and dropped to station. Regular resources stay out where needed.

    The amount of 07 Mondeos still being used was suprising. If you look at the vid/pics on the news most of the cars parked up at checkpoints were mondeos.

    Could the Range Rover be a hand me down from Lizzys visit or did she bring her own that time?

    As you said UK motor tax, the reg plate doesn't exist on the Irish fleet.

    Just curious would it of been cheaper for Garda management to increase numbers in ERU and within ERU Set aside full time armed patrols for the DMR. Seeing as they would have a large pool of vehicles.

    Eru role is different and they are doing that at moment can't detail with more serious crime

    Should have being marked arv patrols since 2008 in dmr

    Talks of explanding eru and sdu now but Rsu is the way to go with marked armed response
