    Are Gardai detectives different from the normal officers in uniform? Do they do welfare checks?

    I think they put the money straight into your account nowadays.

    Similar to the old time council workers who actually dug a hole.

    They would spend an inordinate amount of time drinking tea.

    Oh...and the hole? They are looking into it!

    They hunt down annoying posters mostly. And they do have guns. Stop posting.

    Basically, a friend was drunk and got caught with a joint in his ear. Detective took down his number and went down the good cop routine with him saying your not in trouble whatsoever but will need you to answer a few questions, but I'll give ya a call for a quick chat tomorrow whichever car park you want to meet up in. I'll get ya a takeaway coffee as well.
