Why Garda incompetence is acceptable?

Johnboner

Seriously the people screaming ''Oh who will you call when there is trouble?'' I had around 5 serious incidents where they are required and were called and never even bothered showing up and that is somehow acceptable? One of the accidents was where 5 cars were smashed in our housing estate during the period of 2 days. Guess what they were called, around 11pm and showed up in the morning around 9. But you know what I see when I go out in town? They sit in their vans or cars sometimes 2 of them at the same place sitting in their cars waiting for ''trouble'' while there is trouble happening elsewhere and you get absolutely no help. I just cannot stand people that defend the Gardai. Another thing is we get checkpoints everywhere for tax and insurance but when you actually really need help then forget it.

You are full of it 112 and 999 are the only two emergency numbers for Ireland, maybe your mistake was calling 112 as you said.

Ummm, sure, might want to try that and get back to me. Then make baseless assumptions.

Pocaide

See above post, just out of curiosity did you call the emergency services on a landline or mobile.

Yes, not the first time either, their favorite spot seems to be beside pubs during the weekend and they stay there for hours.

Boards gave me that unless fact ages ago said to myself better check first, something about in a panic 911 can stick in our heads too much American tv maybe.

Ummm..... let me see..... would that maybe be because pubs on a weekend night tend to be hotspots for public order trouble, so maybe they're there (mostly likely under orders) in a preventative capacity as there have been previous incidents?

Are you Phil Collins? :pac:

I ask because I may be wrong here as in eir may have dealt with land line call and bt with mobile calls. Vaugely remember some dispute about 999 reducing service because of a dispute in the recent past.

The dispatcher informs all units on HIS channel.

Perhaps the Gardai you think were sitting there doing nothing, where in fact doing their actual job?
Nothing to do with ordinary calls

So there is a crime happening and a crime could happen? Which is more important? OK let's sit in our cars beside the pub because something might happen instead go solve real crimes happening at that time.

If sitting on their ass doing nothing means work the sure they did.

Ah there's the attitude......
Surprised Gardai don't want to call to you

Pocaide

So how did you call them?

Hahaha are you serious?
I think somebody has been watching too many American police shows on TV.

Jesus Christ.

Pocaide

As far as I know the company eir or bt or whoever contact the relevant station now are we sure that happened.

Look at all them baseless assumptions.

Because that's where trouble is most likely to occur. Is that not obvious to you?

Pocaide

Am I being paranoid but you won't answer my queries, you seem evasive.

And your assumptions (of which there are many) are grounded on what, exactly?

Yep, lets sit and wait for crimes to happen in that location instead of go and help people in need, perfect logic there, son.

Called multiple times by me and neighbours as well during the same night. The neighbours were waiting outside their house for 2 hours until they gave up.

I called using mobile, don't know what the neighbours used but why does it matter anyway???

Pocaide

Ok will try again called by you how, from home on a landline or on a mobile.

Pocaide

It may but also may not to be fair as I said I may be incorrect. Think there are were two companies dealing with emergency calls may still be the case. So can we be sure they gave the call to the right place.

Pocaide

From ancedotal evidence landlines are easier to pinpoint geographically as mobiles for obvious reasons aren't.

They called the Gardai and waited 2 hours for them to come but gave up after as they assumed they wouldn't come anymore and they didn't.

Have you are your neighbours considered making a complaint to GSOC

No no I mean why would they stand outside their house for two hours. Did they not know they lived there?
