It could never happen in An Garda Síochána. Or could it/is it?

    It happens here aright, if you haven't played football or hurling above Intermediate level, you'll never get promoted to Sergeant or above. :D

    Never before have I heard of the freemasons having anything to do with the gardaí.

    Opus Dei never got much return in Cork. But the Physics and Engineering faculties of some Irish universities keep them in jars in the lab.
    There would be a conflict of interest if high ranking gardai were in it. A few well known judges, FF politicians/ministers etc are in it. A state within a state is not the healthiest situation.

    It's the exact type of thing they'd be into.

    I thought all the Handshakers were Scottish referees. Bluenose Ba$tards as they are affectionately referred to.

    A JUDGE said yesterday he was sick of women "treating men like sperm banks" and behaving "like black widow spiders".

    Judge Patrick Clyne refused to discharge himself from a case in which a woman alleged her former partner assaulted her.

    He made the comment during a private prosecution taken by mother-of-twins Maria Barbour against James Kelly, of Woodlawn Park, Arklow, Co Wicklow---Irish Independent


    27 May 2005

    In one case, the defence solicitor also presented himself as a character witness for his client and was told by Judge Clyne: ''If he ever comes before the court again, you will be instructed to take out a hurley and beat hell out of him"

    The Judge also informed another defendant who had made disparaging remarks about another person’s mother: ";If that remark was made about my mother, I would have beaten the daylights out of you."

    Referring to yet another defendant, Judge Clyne declared:"I can’t believe that, at 26, he would be that stupid. He should be married by now and, if he was my son, I’d take him out and give him a good hiding.

    Mind you, this tough-talking, no-nonsense approach proved to be effective in some instances. One young defendant, before the court on a charge of possessing drugs, was quite shaken when Judge Clyne explained to him what drugs would do to his body. ``Apart from that’’, said the Judge, "you’ll be in jail for the rest of your life, nobody will want to know you and you’ll end up alone"-Munster Express



    As far as I know this judicial reprobate is in a "funny handshake/trouser leg at half mast" society. And still sitting/lecturing

    Ah, not really, that's not what he said. It's what he should have said, but it's not what he said.

    ? Union Rates. The Union. Rates. Not in the Union? You're not getting hired. And if you do hire them, you're getting picketed.. I have no idea how they co-opted the Gards though. And the fcukers were far from Free.

    With money like that no wonder they were able to buy such expensive womens cloths to dance around in their underground chambers, Ps. there is a lot of speculation about open crotch underware, I don't understand that bit myself,
    maybe it is something about working up high on scaffolding.

    I feel we're drifting off the topic here. Somthing to do with secret Gay societies giving guarded speeches about scottish yards, I think.

    Is it just possible ......... that with drugs going missing/money going missing (while in Garda custody) that the answer is in the question? Have a look at things in a more enlightened country ....... where the cops-investigating-cops no longer behave like The Gardai:

    I may be wrong but I think our local guard Sgt. Donagh O' Donagh could be a shape-shifting lizard.

    Careful now. He may be a shape shifter posing as a lizard to take you off guard. See if he has the knack of bicycles. Lizards can't do bicycles, it's a well known fact.

    I thought we were talking snakes/eels here? As in slippery/in the grass etc.
    AFAIK both snakes and eels are not skilled in pedaling on bikes. Peddling lies may be more their forte.
    Now, back on track ....... or David Ikes may, at this moment, be noting your IP. Or if you are a model ......... you could be sending pulses racing among the young (and not so young) Pulse checkers.
