hey guys,

i was on the M7 recently and in the opposite carriage i saw a jeep traveling at high speed withe bule and red lights flashing. I didn't see it properly so im wondering could this have been a Garda vehichle or was it more likely a Fire Service Vehicle.

And if it was a Garda car, when did ye start using 2 colours?

More than likely Traffic Corps. They have Red LED's fitted on the back of their lightbar. It's been like that for 3/4years now. Also, it could have been A Motorway Patrol Jeep with the collapsible 'polvis' sign on the back.

I have seen an unmarked jeep here in Limerick with red grill lights and wig wags which were strobing as well as wig wagging.

By any chance was it a Black Pajaro?
