    Jaysus, that's terrible. Do you say that to them when you need their help ?

    I know people are entitled to their own opinion but there's no need for that...

    There's a lot of bad things I could say myself about them but I could also say a few good things, But my advice to anyone is if you don't bother them they won't bother you, Its best to just stay out of their way.
    Sounds like camping advice if you see a bear in the woods.

    But, it doesnt work like that. You could be minding your own business then they stop you.

    I agree, Your dead right and then its side of the road for 15 minutes in the cold as they run checks and look at your documents or search you, They only do it to waste time anyway but in that situation its best to just be polite. Most of the time its nothing personal anyway unless you live in a small town.

    I know it's really hard (I myself had to reread and subsequently delete several posts), but don't feed. ;)

    There will be lots of Domestics, arguing over the remote control,good few car accidents, drink driving, few suicide attempts, all in all it will be a busy day for some of them.
    For others it will be a chance to catch up on paper work and issue a few summons.
    Happy Christmas to all the boys and girls in blue.

    the amount of bottles of whiskey, wine and cans of beer the Gardai get from local pubs and some businesses is insane. Practically bribery.

    If two pubs have fights on at the same time and one pub has been giving the local mules alcohol every christmas then it puts pressure on Gardai to respond to their "friends" first.

    Should be banned.

    Also believe it or not some pubs have bars installed over Christmas! Ask around if you dont believe me.

    I quite like the Gardaí, but working Christmas day is just a crap chore, regardless of the job. I hope the Gardaí that are on duty have at least a somewhat quiet enough day. Truth be told, it's the one day of the year I'd rather they were sitting in the canteen watching TV and eating biscuits than having to look at the local scumbags.

    Same can be said for the paramedics around the country, too, and any fire officers that may be in the station (though I don't think many really are? I'd imagine Christmas day they're all at home, and just on-call?).


    Paramedics probably have it worse, actually. At least if you're a Garda with a domestic issue you can try and lighten things up a bit with an ould "ah sure it's Christmas, will ye calm down a little. Could always be worse :) ". If you're getting called out as a Paramedic, you know you're walking into the house of someone whose Christmas is after being ruined.

    I'd say you'd be able to feel it in the pit of your stomach just responding to the call. Not nice.


    Fair play to all of the emergency services, say I, particularly so on Christmas day.

    They'll probably play a game of pinata with a hang cuffed polish guy.

    I joke, I joke.

    But I suspect with out coming across as discriminant that a good few calls will be coming from our traveling natives.

    I can remember talking to my brother last year the day after Christmas. He was telling me a guy bet the crap out of 2 kids and wife because he had no vodka or something like it...Absolutely shocking..

    It was the wife's fault for not buying enough vodka in the shopping

    If you're serious OP then you can ask themselves in their own forum.
    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=1023

    Note, the mods there are probably even more cranky than me.
