    Saw a few of these last weekend ...

    It's a good initiative, but they're not eye catching enough IMO, plus could be a bit bigger and in a few more languages other then English and Irish. I suppose they're green to 'blend in', but that's the opposite of what warning signs should be :)

    Needs a few real Gardai in plain clothes, hanging around for awhile and catching them in the act.

    That'd be the ultimate solution, but the Gardai just don't have the resources to be fair to them.

    I was down in Glendalough a few weeks ago and overheard one of the guys in the tourist centre saying that a car was broken into last summer and €10,000 cash taken. As long as thieves have that kind of carrot, they're going to keep coming back. Signs will help, I don't think a lot of tourists think about crime when they're up overlooking Lough Tay.

    Liquidate the criminal class is the ultimate solution

    We should be able to leave cars and houses unlocked

    Ah but which criminal class do you propose to liquidate? Some men rob you with a six gun and some men rob you with a pen etc. etc.

    What for? To be "released without charge with a file sent to DPP"?
