In ye olden days the Garda could be bouncer at the local pub too.

"He's in an area where there's a lot of feuds going on"

i.e. The station.

120 hours overtime a month - Christ that is surely about €3000 gross.

2 jobs?

landlord builder bouncer

How is it not making "any difference" if you bring home some extra money? The taxman doesn't take it all.

PeterTheNinth

"over half of it goes back to the state"

And how is that any different to anybody else?

A Garda shift is ten hours. So he's working 16 hours on a workday?!

Atlantic Dawn

Did he enter his job in the Gardaí before guns were invented for criminals to use?

Sure they have to keep warm somehow and it keeps down the heating bills.

Your man is grieving, they shouldn't have him on so close after the event. It's mad the things you think are important after someone dies that seem trivial a few weeks later.

Irresponsible of the Liveline team to have him on. You can't expect him to be rational.

Horrible policy of the Nursing Home as they had paid up until the end of this month. It would have been nice if they could be allowed to clear out their mothers things. Don't know if it's a common practice across the board.

Condolences to the man, his father and the family on the death of this lady.

"He's in the army now"...so to speak.

Not absolute proof?

Mary Mitchel OConnor will be on saying that she will give the Gardai a flat 30% total income tax.

Dan Jaman

We'll have prison, fire, nurses on next.

BPKS

Exactly.

What happens if the army goes on strike.

How would the country survive????

jean contente

Does he not get to use her tax credits while she's out on maternity leave?

somesoldiers

It might actually slow down the influx of illegal migrants into Europe.

somesoldiers

Atlantic Dawn

Gourmet sambos?

Atlantic Dawn

Does she not realise the country is still bankrupt?
