    Hi Guys/Girls. I was driving on the M6 between Moate and Athlone last night where a accident happened with a jeep and trailer, The question I have is that two unites of the fire brigade started & did put in place a rolling roadblock about a KM from the accident, Is this a new method? I thought it was the guards job?

    Yeah the Fire Service are trained in all that, they usually do it untill the cops arrive.

    We might as well get used to it, eventually Garda Traffic Corp will be doing walking road blocks as all their cars will have been handed over to the regular units.
