I was thinking the same thing watching the news, and I'd pass through there a number of times a week. There's not even speed ramps in the area.

These are the creatures who can have you off the road on 3 captures for speeding even if you are 5 kph above the speed limit and have you not working for three months and lose all your customer base and be dependant on social welfare for the rest of your life.

These creatures should be held to better standards than they hold the general motoring public to. How many times have these arrogant, smug instruments of State domination held me and people like me to account for Tax, NCT, Licences, tyres, lights and countless other desiderata for driving at mostly remedial and moronically slow speeds on roads in this country while members of this force have driven like test pilots with no lights or other warning, safe in the knowledge that they can avoid prosecution by waving a badge, being members of a privileged club of people immune from prosecution for traffic violations etc.

Sheep like you and me must travel around like stunted mullets while these creatures can swan about at any speed they like. The carelessness of losing a gun should lead to dismissal at least. I had to laugh at the Army guy on Joe Duffys show arguing with and berating the standards of training he reckoned were prevalent in the AGS. There is no love lost between the Army and Gardai in Ireland.

Creatures ??.🀀 jeepers you're an angry boy. In fairness, the ex garda fairly stuffed the army lad about the technicalities of using a firearm.

I've no idea tbh.

I seem to recall a guard being shot by another member in a botched bank robbery. Not sure if he died, a Google search might work.

There was a recruit injured by another in training a few years back. From member the recruit was shooting blanks but had not put the Blank Firing Attachment onto the muzzle of his rifle.

I don't recall any soldiers being shot by friendly fire with live ball.

He did die , there's a GAA club named after in Meath.

There's was a also a Garda injured when managed to shot himself in an accident at a firing range.

There was that Irish soldier who was accidentally shot dead by his colleague in East Timor. Also, I heard when I was a kid, don't know if it's true, that a soldier at Portlaoise prison shot another one because he wouldn't give him a sweet.

You're right, an accident while out on patrol.

Simple answer is he left the bag on the roof of the car and drove off. Never coped when the bag slid off the roof so never stopped. Only noticed when he got where he was going too. Case solved, no need to call Colombo....

Most likely how it happened, but there's a guard on duty at the gate there who never noticed anything lol

doolox

just like any taxi driver, truck driver or bus driver who makes a mistake as big as this one, but no this won't happen because the other members will say nothing and do nothing.

The civilian gobdaws are left taking the can for any mistake they make of this gravity while their "betters" get away with it.

All the "pillars of society" in this country have been examined and found wanting, church, health care, childcare, education, finance and administration of justice.

Now our cops throw guns out the window.

And are likely to get away with it.

Thank God one of the Kinahans or Huthches did not get their dirty hands on the gun.

I know personally many good members of AGS and they will be as equally annoyed by this travesty. It makes their job and credibility harder. The ****er who allowed this to happen should go.

That was the Abbeyleix bank robbery. Sergeant John Eiffe was shot dead and another Guard injured. No shots were fired by the robbers.

AGS urgently seek any CCTV footage of the incident, so that they can accidentally lose it.

Ridiculous reaction.

An investigation taking place is the proper procedure to see what happened and if there was any negligence.

If the officer didn't close the boot properly, didn't secure the bag properly (bit made they are using bags btw, the other armed unit have boot lock boxes), was actually meant to use a lockbox but used a bag, or performed any act of negligence then fair enough. There should be sanctions, in accordance with the outlined disciplinary procedures.

However if there transpires to be a fault with the boot, the locking mechanism, the car, or wasn't spotted during servicing or spot checks, then its hardly the officers fault.

See, this is why satire is so hard these days. That's pretty much what I said in parody of what the GRA will be out saying shortly.

If fully automatic weapons can be flying out of car boots due to a dodgy catch, then sure, let's not fire the guard who signed out the weapon. I'll settle for the idiot that designed such a system, constantly teetering one single lock away from a critical safety failure. And the dosser that was supposed to be servicing the vehicle, when the weapons are seemingly like jack-in-the-boxes when stashed back there.

Hopefully the new Commissioner will put an end to this sort of believable incompetence among the ranks of AGS.

The Gardai need sweeping and radical change from the top all the way down. Currently they are unfit for purpose for a 21st century Ireland. Keystone cops come to mind here...

Just the occasional incompetent being held to account for it, would be a comfort.

Who trained the person that done this though? AGS trained the person and sent them on their way with a gun. The State put the Gardaí in place and we put the State in place, so who ultimately is at fault? Typical ballygobackwards Ireland. I firmly believe you get what you deserve. These people aren't pulled from a special group from the Aran Islands, they are a cross section of our society.

You are pretty close.

One soldier was throwing sweets to another soldier and kept throwing them short, thus making the guy reach to catch the sweets. There was a bit of an argument between the two of them. That part is 100% true but what happened after that is debatable, apart from one of the army guys getting shot and killed.

Happened around Harcourt Terrace?
Maybe they just drove over some fat bird who was after stumbling out of Coppers down the road.

Left in a bag on the top of the car which they forgot about an drove off.

The story on the news is hokem.

It's amazing though people in positions of authority or high office blatantly lie, but it's acceptable.
