Hopefully he can do the same with the Gardai, who are similarly in need of a demolish and refurb job. The IRA, I might remind you, also murdered Irish citizens (including Gardai) on both sides of the border including his father and also engaged in torture, criminality and other human rights abuses. Any dislike he holds towards that organization is entirely warranted and shared by the vast majority of decent people on both sides of the border. It has been fun to watch shinnerbot heads explode over this on twitter though.

The same posters saying this would post here 24/7 if an election was called tell9ng us all why we should vote for ST. An organisation FULL of people who have associations to an organisation that murdered innocent people and who have members today in the public eye linked to said murders. But we should trust them.because they are "good republicans "

Like I said, this is like denying Gerry Adams was in the IRA. Look it up if you want, I'm not going to spoonfeed you. Especially as you laugh at the victims families.

Should we all hate every SF member because they are associated with an organisation that killed innocents? Should no SF member ever get a job in the public service because of this?

We need justice for all the victims, appointing a former ruc man won't help open up the case for the families of the Dublin and Monaghan bombings for example.

Disgraceful in a capital city. But I blame the Supers, they are the managers, but the tail seems to wag the dog, or maybe it is just precedent. I dunno. There does not have to be a blanket police presence, but SOME presence would be reassuring. It is so obvious by its absence and I don't know why that is.
Fewer than half of gardai available for duty are engaged in visible policing, it has been revealed. An audit discovered just 44% of fully-trained officers are involved in direct contact with the public. The figure was uncovered by an RTE Freedom Of Information request and is understood to be in contravention of the force’s own policing plan. It is also against recommendations by the Garda Inspectorate which said there should be the maximum number of officers dedicated to conducting high-visibility patrols. The Garda Internal Audit Committee, which carried out the report, described the number as “low”.
Meanwhile, preliminary findings of an audit found the Garda never pursued between 6,000 and 7,000 juvenile offenders who committed crimes from 2010 to the end of last year. The children and teens were deemed unsuitable for admittance into the juvenile liaison system due to the seriousness of the offences involved. Garda authorities are set to discipline the officers involved.
