Who s behind the Gardai road checks?

Coillte_Bhoy · 05-01-2019 02:31AM #1

I dont think my locality (rural Mayo) is any different but for whatever reason in the last few months the amount of Garda checkpoints etc has been ramped up to an incredible degree, they are everywhere at all hours, breathalyzers, tax checks, speeding etc. I mean it makes zero sense for a force that was always complaining and maybe rightly so about being under resourced. obv a decison has been taken at a high level and im wondering by whom and for what reason?

‘Zero sense’ about catching drink drivers, uninsured drivers (who we all pay for when they hit someone) and tax cheats??? It’s called enforcement of the law, something we should all be happy about.

Half the country who are still drink driving

Theres a new sheriff in town, he's gonna shake things up, theres been a huge decrease in breathalyzer numbers, people are slacking off, well not any more...

The illuminatii controlled, Global mega Corporation that produces those disposable blow pipes that you need to put on a breathyliser.

It's all part of their world domination scheme, that and their latex glove empire, that almost every profession seems to need to stockpile now.

there should be a lot more and at different time and different locations.
not enough is done to rid the roads of the drunk or uninsured or nontaxed or even no nct lot.
a clown of a system where speed vans are flagged up and visible so the arrogant so and sos can slow down and avoid detection. there should also be cameras at traffic lights- might cure the need for breaking red lights that is so prevalent nowadays.

Like other posters here ii am wondering why you question this? The gards doing their job

Lucy8080 · 05-01-2019 03:18AM

Mayo,eh! West of the Shannon rural pubs are full of Gardai, drinking after hours, and driving the roads in the early morn.

I often wonder, how do they get through the road checks?

Clearly they are getting their act together> I posted in a thread re community policemen. I was at the Westport Meals on Wheels Lunch Club Christmas dinner and there was a community garda there. Getting to know the old folk ; this time last year there was a spate of burglaries of old folk.

Orderly Mayo..

They are retrospective checkpoints, for the ones that happened years ago on paper.

I thought it was zig as it was zags day off that day.:)

willowthewisp · 05-01-2019 08:06AM

I’m driving for over 20 years and I don’t think I remember ever having been breathalised in that time, maybe once.
That is a poor indication of coverage a cross the country if you ask me.

Considering who the top man is in AGS, id say Mi5 are calling the shots.

Nah thats not my point, im just wondering at what level this decision was taken and resources have obviously been moved form other areas

No matter what the gardai, do people will think they should be doing something else.

The Gardai maybe??

Why do people have such a problem with them doing their job? No it’s not catching master criminals but it’s still a vital part of what they do nonetheless.

"Should be out catching real criminals"

Basically.....should stop checking for my non-existent tax disk or me trying to kill other road users by drink driving.

Piss off and obey the law

I'm also living in rural mayo and I haven't come across a checkpoint in years. I'm on the road during fairly busy hours and also do a lot of driving at the weekends.
