    So hypothetically, if i heard my renting next door neighbours having a serious domestic, with the girlfriend letting out spine chilling screams, and i decided to call the guards anonymously, can i be brought as a witness in court? Hypothetically

    AFAIK - No. Unless you really want to go.

    Yes. But the likelihood is extremely remote. I'm talking about the Gardaí arriving and finding a body kind of remote.

    Quite shocked that they arrived within 10 mins of the alleged call ;)

    Well done for hypothetically making that call Cruais. It may not have been possible for the girlfriend to get out or to the phone to call for help.

    Hopefully now that the guards are involved, she can gt out of the situation. Hopefully she got a good member of AGS who will give her all the information she needs to protect herself and get out of this dangerous situation.

    Hopefully, she will be very thankful to you some day - allegedly of course.:)

    I wouldn't count on it. Domestic incidents rarely amount to much. Injured party generally fails to go through with anything. Sometimes they'll go as far as getting a safety order but that's about it.

    Edit: But you did the right thing.

    Yeah, well done, hypothetically. Too much crap is ignored.

    So I think they have moved out. I saw a new older guy locking up the house so am relieved that I hopefully do not have to hear anything horrible like that again.

    Did you check that the patio doesn't look like it's been moved recently?
