    You mean Gardai who work their arses off? I hope your not suggesting that he shouldn't have been remunerated for that work!?



    I know a lot of people in either sector and different industries who act the maggot but I don't hold them as being representative of all the people in that area.



    Nice of you to put words in his mouth, but ultimately you're just forcing your view onto what other people are saying. It's all sounding very sad and bitter at this stage. As a result I think here endeth my involvement in this thread.


    I agree lot of people sore with garda pay i will give my views but they are just my views as the next person is allowed have their say.

    and as for the last post we do enforce the law its our job. Does annoy people sometimes but sure thats just the way it is. But have to take into account assaults on guards i myself have been assaulted in the past been rammed in the past even had a person try to stab me and its a danger thats accepted. and i guess a perk of that was paying into and getting a good pension i dont see the problem with that.

    It seems to me from the recent poster campaigns and the GRA expecting 20% off gardai mortgages that Gardai are playing the victims instead of protecting the victims in our society.

    Yeah I'm sure the people in Anglo Irish are reallly p*ssed off.

    I know the response and I agree it isn't front line people making the call but they do work for the organisation. Who polices the police?

    Can we report this to the Garda ombudsman that we suspect something dodgy? Would he bother his arse to do anything?

    In fairness to the Gardai I think the majority do their job well. Most bank workers just do their job too. Those at the very top in the banks, while I think they have abused their position, have mostly operated within the law as far as I know. I think it was the regulator and the central bank and the govt which let us down, in failing to regulate the economy ( and partly the banks ) , not the Gardai. While the Gardai salaries and pensions are on the high side you cannot blame them for taking it.
