I wonder how Callinan, Sgt McCabes colleagues with the plastic rat, their 'friends' who blanked them etc enjoyed this evenings programme? A lot of squirming, I bet. It beggars belief that Callinan is collecting a big fat pension. He should be behind bars.

This honourable man was nearly destroyed by a corrupt Garda management for trying to do the right thing. His courage and bravery should be rewarded by the state but I think any future whistleblowers will think twice before trying to highlight bad practice in the Gardaí.

Who can blame them!?! Me for one...putting the insider Nóirín ó Sullivan in charge after Callinan worked out brilliantly lol

I have always had great service from our local Gardai and to be fair Mc Cabe seems to have been a monumental pain in the hole. Its all very well for onlookers to be saying he is a national hero, they didnt have to work with him.

Haven't seen that in Ireland and never will..so I wonder which police force is the most corrupt!

Oh and not bothering to turn up to work at the weekend and not bothering to attend repoted incidents. Good grief. And the programe isn't half over yet.

Local Garda is a position of huge responsibility in a small regional town. Gardai showing up drunk and disorderly at a suicide case. Then driving away in Garda car in that condition. Gardai regularly not showing up for work at the station. Victim in an assault case pressured into dropping it - just so the Garda isn't uncovered for not following up on case correctly (and this kind of cover up mentality went all the way to the top of the organisation...as revealed later). And then on to mass penalty points offences. And all some people can do is throw out lazy expressions like "snitch".:( How can we really expect things to ever change in this country?

But, but.......some people can't watch all that because the 'mood music' is all wrong!! FFS!!! :mad: I've read about all this before, dreadful stuff......and hearing about it again makes it no less horrendous.
