    999/112 is NOT, I repeat NOTa playground. It is an Emergency number.

    Emergency numbers are to be used for only that, Emergencies.

    How many times has 999 been called for a stubbed toenail or a dog barking next door is beyond counting.

    A member of An Garda Siochána is not being rude when he/she hangs up on you when you ask his/her name. He/she is simply freeing up the line so that MOPs ( Members Of Public ) with real emergencies can be dealt with.

    If you feel so strongly about it then why don't you call FM104 between 9.30 and 10pm on a weekday? or even Joe Duffy.

    A complaint is a serious matter, and this matter isn't serious.

    correct correct correct

    112/999 for life or death sitations or other such emergencies..thats all

    "Sir/Mam, this is an emergency line that is for emergencies only. Unfortunately I cannot help you."

    There. That took about four seconds to say out loud. How hard was that? Its what the OP should have been told the first time. Joe public doesn't know there is nothing you can do.... so don't tell him you will get to it when you have no intention of doing so. Tell him the truth.

    Stop making excuses for unprofessionalism and rudeness under the guise of keeping the line clear. Honestly. And don't get me started on refusing to give your name after being requested by a member of the public.

    Ultimately, there isn't anything the Garda Siochána can do about noise. As has been suggested, ask them politely to turn it down. If they refuse, find out their sleep pattern and blast some awful death metal while they are trying to sleep. They will soon realise what they are doing and cop themselves on.

    You received this recently? I was under the impression that new legislation came out allowing AGS to have the same powers as local authorities to investigate nuisance noise.

    It was suggested but not implemented AFAIK.

    Folks,

    There is to be no more talk of HQ Directives or what is contained in them. These are confidential as stated on the directives and not for public eyes or ears.

    Hence your signature, DubMedic, this should be a new ad.

    Hey OP,

    I guess you got the message at this stage, don't drop the three 9's for a party, as frustrating as it is. It's not the best move. Go to your local council as advised......

    DubMedic is gonna have a hernia or a cardiac if you carry on.... ROFL......:D :D:D:D

    Don't get your uniform dirty rolling on that floor, that has to do you until the next batch is delivered in 2015.

    Maybe they were telling the truth, they may have had their hands tied with a drunken fight goin on in the town and by the time a car was cleared it may have took a spin out to the house and seen everything was quiet. It often takes hours to handle edjits coming out of pubs/clubs.

    What the hell is 112? I've honestly never heard of that.
