Not sure about that one.

No of course not, only "tax paying parents" cause paying tax means you can't break the law of course.

Gardai actually enforcing the traffic laws. Where will it all end?:rolleyes::rolleyes:

The consequences could be very far-reaching. Quite apart from the traffic bottlenecks that would be eliminated, if mammies are no longer allowed to drive right up to the school gates and quadruple-park at will while they drop their sprogs off, they may have to begin parking in a quieter place some distance away - perhaps even a few tens or hundreds of metres - and walk the little darlings to the school gates. This would go some way to encouraging exercise, thereby reducing the child obesity problem, and it would get some fat off the mammies arses as well.:D:D

I live near a school (Camillus Limerick) and some of the parking by parents is dangerous and shows no regard for others. Parking on the footpath on double yellow lines, parking on the road with hazards on to name but two. I wish the guards would enforce parking here but unfortunately not.

Delighted to hear the law being enforced.

The parents of the kids in the schools I pass on the way to work create havoc every single morning without fail. Bastards.

Have you written a letter to the local Superintendent demanding action?

Yes, I object to this.

Parking tickets should only be issued for illegal parking, and not take into account the socioeconomic status of the offender.

I believe "tanks" have been used to great effect before?

Nope. I tend to stay clear of the gardai if at all possible.

When I was a kid, the only cars at the school belonged to the teachers. Kids either walked, cycled or got the bus. No wonder so many kids are obese. Fair play to the gardai, might make parents cop on.

I have a vivid memory of walking home one day with a couple of my friends who were neighbours. It was absolutely pissing rain. Pissing down on us the whole way home. We walked home having the laugh, jumping in enormous puddles and destroyed ourselves! It was great craic.

Both sets of parents had cars too - can't imagine those kids getting the chance to walk today

I think Gardai normally deal with Murders on mondays, rapes on tuesdays, assaults on Wednesday, drink driving on Thursdays, Parking on fridays, Domestics on Saturdays and Sulky racing on Sundays, clearly in your opinion tax payers should be exempt from the laws of the land and only be dealt with when every outstanding crime has been cleared up! Good man yourself we need more "thinkers" like you in this country to get us back on track!!

ShamoBuc · 16-05-2012 04:25PM

Dropping and collecting kids at school is becoming exceptionally dangerous these days.
When it rains it becomes unreal....you wouldn't believe how some parents park and have the audacity to try to stare you down when you look at them disbelievingly.

Nah little fat Johnny would be delighted with the attention he's gonna recieve from his lazy parent who Drives his fat arse to school everyday when all he wants is to spend time with his fat mother and talk to each other on the way.

Therefore it would evidently be wrong to issue them with parking tickets.
-edit- and how could you possibly know they were travelers, rather than local farmers?
Or did you mean travelers in the sense that they were in motion at the time?

stevenmu · 16-05-2012 04:32PM

To answer the original question: Yes, the Gardaí have many better things to be doing. They have murders, rapes, gangland violence, drug dealing and all kinds of really nasty stuff to deal with. Unfortunately a whole bunch of selfish f*ckers think that the rules shouldn't apply to them, and so they cause chaos outside schools every morning and waste valuable Gardaí resources that could be better used on something else.

Fat liitle Johnny is probably sick and tired of his terrified media-fed mother and would quiet happily walk to school with his mates, given half a chance.

phill106 · 16-05-2012 04:48PM

Ironic thing is, it is getting more dangerous for kids to walk/cycle to school because of all the parents dropping their own children at school. And the reason why? They are afraid for their little darliings!

Oh and the laziness too of course!

ps i do drive mine to school

Your right. I just feel for fat Johnny. His fat mother probably got to socialise to and from school with her friends. If only only fat Johnnies mother could remember the good times she had walking and socialising with her peers and seeing the world on two feet. Fat Johnny would be more rounded for the real world if he could get the opportunity to get out of the atrocious looking Jeep his fat lazy mother slogs him to school every day. Poor fat Johnny. His mother thinks she's safeguarding him against the rampant pedos who are hiding in EVERY bush in EVERY school ALL the time. But all she's really doing is turning him into a wimpy weasel.

Magicians use distraction techniques to draw the audience's attention away from whichever hand is engaged in sleight of hand. Magicians can accomplish this by encouraging the audience to look elsewhere. :rolleyes:

fasttalkerchat · 16-05-2012 06:09PM

I saw a child nearly killed because of some idiot who abandoned their car in the middle of the road, so no, its not just ACAB with nothing better to do.

Cantona's Collars · 16-05-2012 06:11PM

Wish they'd do it down my way,brand new double yellow lines were painted outside the local school & the guys weren't even finished when the usual crew arrived and parked along them.

I'd hate to be dying & in need of an ambulance along that stretch of road when the school run is going on.
