    It's a secret protest!

    If they want any supporters, they'd maybe need to consider posting a few details about when and where..... :confused:

    Think his waiting for his screwdriver

    The commissioner of our police force is calling people reporting wrongdoing disgusting. I think it's a great idea to protest.

    Bring your own whistle. PEEP!

    Is it going to be policed?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,723 ✭✭✭nice_very



    no, you are thinking of: joan the moan (out of place, out of touch), enda spenda (scarecrow-no brain) brutal bruton (tin man-no heart) and cowardly reilly (similar facial hair though)

    Interest was sparked until I read those **** Wallace, Flanagan and Daly were attending and then all credibility was lost.

    Wallace and Daly have every right to be there since they themselves would appear to have been victims of Garda wrongdoing.

    Really???

    When did this happen?

    Last year.

    Alan Shatter became aware of, and brought Mick Wallaces Garda record into a political debate. How did he come by this information?

    Clare Daly was detained and handcuffed of suspected drink driving. An allegation she was later cleared of. Why the heavy handed and public treatment?

    I'm no fan of either by the way. I just expect a degree of transparency from our Justice department. I am not surprised Daly and Wallace are supporting the whistleblowers.

    I too would be supportive of them, and I haven't had any of the treatment dished out to Wallace and Daly.

    cringing at the thoughts of that protest, bunch of trouble makers, sure did ming not get points taken off his licence illegally?? whats he protesting about?

    all you will have at the protest are a bunch of riff raff especially as its on in mullingar.

    I don't buy that. People who use other people as an excuse don't believe strongly enough to turn up anyway.

    Spot on. We are a nation on apathetic cowards.
    The reason that weasel of a garda commissioner hasn't resigned is that he has zero respect for the populace he serves.

    My sentiments exactly. "I'm not going to a protest because some I don't like will be there". Pathetic.

    Would it not be easier for him to just buy a shiny new one :confused:

    I've been working in Mullingar for 3 weeks now and he's walking retentively up and down each day, anyone I asked, no one seemed to know what it was about. :eek:
