Does your local Garda no longer seem interested? Maybe this is why.

    Are these judges for real? I say it must be hard to land yourself in prison.

    Well, he defiantly won't be coming to the attention of the courts or Garda again :rolleyes:

    I wouldn't agree that it's hard to land in prison, it happens if ya don't pay your TV licence!!! Beating the life out of someone or breaking bail conditions doesn't qualify though.....

    It is high time now I think that the GRA instructed it's members not to appear in cases where some of these people that class themselves as judges are sitting.

    The judicial system in this country needs a good kick in the arse.

    Here again tonight I see what appears to have been an attempted tiger kidnapping in Longford, reports have stated that there had been a pursuit and a Garda car crashed into the what I suppose is the criminals means of escape.......then I hear that GSOC are investigating. .....what a joke.

    Yet again the courts have failed our police force.

    And where the hell is armed response in Dublin,ERU should be for terror incidents or dealing with armed standoffs,What's needed in Dublin is 6 ASU'S on 24/7.

    I always assumed that Gardai only went onto halting sites in large numbers.

    Why did you assume that? It would make day to day policing in certain areas quite difficult.

    Well Gardai go in on a regular basis without a small army. Alot of it depends on why you are going in and what kind of relationship you have with them. Contrary to popular belief, it's not a suicide mission. That being said, you do have to stay sharp, just in case.

    It really does depend on the relationship Gardai have with members of the Travelling Community.

    Would that not be the other way around?

    To a certain extent. It's more to do with the individual Gardas relationship with the influential persons in that particular site or family.

    How ridiculous that Gardai should need to have 'a relationship' with someone in order to go onto a halting site.

    However...I wonder could 'community service' for ES offenders be scrubbing out cells in a garda station?

    Spot on. I would go a step further and say it is everything to do with the individual Garda.

    I see what I typed there. I should have said the relationship 'between the Gardai and local Travellers'.

    Absolutely, couldn't agree more.

    If you substitute 'relationship' with 'community relations' it doesn't seem that ridiculous. AGS is heavily involved in all aspects of community relations with all types of people, estates etc
