Garda shot dead during robbery at Louth Credit Union(Mod warning, 1st post.)

not1but4 · 26-01-2013 01:13AM

Was walking through Dundalk at half 9 and was wondering why I seen 3 Garda cars speed past me, this would explain it.

RIP.

qwertypop · 26-01-2013 01:13AM

I probably won't get this accross properly but all guards on duty over the next few hours and days really need to keep a cool head on their shoulders

All it takes is one toss pot of a scum bag to say something trying to rise the member and boom they'll lose the rag and lash out playing straight into the scumbags hands

Already on this forum we can see some members getting very cross and narky and rightly so I may add but they really need to keep a cool head however hard that that may be. I'm sure ther professionalism will shine through

RIP,

I wonder what shatters response to this will be, The only one should be '' I resign ''.
The police service in this country has been butchered in the last numbers of years by the government.

theres no such thing as "capital murder" anymore

"Capital murder" is a useful shorthand. There is no such offence as capital murder now yes, but there is "such thing" as it.

Its on threads like these, when i read some of the posts, that i remember AH really is gone to ****.
Petty, pedantic squabbling over silly points.

A man is dead. a woman has been made a widow and kids have lost their dad.

All people should need to post is RIP

You seem to be oblivious to one fundamental point here, this is not a book of condolences, its a public discussion forum.

im going to stop you there because noone wants to hear your rant. i dont mean to be offensive, and sure you have the right to post what you wish, but this man did not die because of paper work or decisions. he died in the line of duty for the people. by scum of the earth. absolute scrapings of the arse of a barrel. as been mentioned several times, this is not a time for debate. this is a time to mourn a brave man. a brave man who is one of thousands all over the country who day and night are on the front line for us, the people.

what. the. ****?

Some despicable anti-Garda conspiracy stuff in this thread.

A man has just been killed by utter scum while doing his job. There should be a death penalty for killing a member of the gardai or defence forces. These animals will get a 'life' sentence maybe and in this country that means they might do about 10 years.

girl in the striped socks · 26-01-2013 01:21AM

I don't know about anyone else but I have a huge amount of respect for the guards & the work that they do. It's a thankless job at the best of times but tonight's news just highlights the harsh reality facing them & I suppose with the way things have been in this country lately I'm a bit surprised it doesn't happen more often.

RIP to that man & my thoughts are with his family, friends & colleagues.

You sir are a disgusting individual, she phoned as she is very ****ing upset a close colleague was murdered in cold blood. I'm bloody angry at the amount of idiots and proxy nonsense on here. Worse than tabloid crappy newspapers.

You need to take a good look at yourself

Plazaman · 26-01-2013 01:22AM

Calm down folks, I would love to post a barrage of abuse about criminals, politicians, the system, the blah blah blah.... A man is dead, let's try to help first.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the incident room at Dundalk Garda Station at 042-9388400 or the Garda Confidential Number 1-800-666-111.

I agree it is the culmination of a few months of horrible lawless robberies mainly targeting old people and now a garda has been killed. Hopefully this will be a Veronica Guerin moment and efforts are ramped up.

Why does there always have to be a trigger incident to trigger necessary reform?

What is wrong with this country that we are so lacking in common sense that there has to be an incident of outrage to kick us up the arse and force common sense reform?

Its like the abortion issue, everybody knew that sooner or later there would be a botched abortion or some kind of incident in which an abortion would be denied leading to the death of an expecting mother.

But we could not even contemplate addressing such an issue until somebody actually died.

We are so incompetent, or at least the politicians elected and political system is so incompetent that we absolutely need to wait for a catastrophe before taking action.

From what ive read, there were two people on duty including the Garda that was shot dead escorting money from the credit union. I assume this is due to cutbacks.

Perhaps now there will be more gardai on duty when they are escorting large amounts of money.

I think its a disgrace that a Garda has to be murdered before such obvious needed reforms are introduced.

If there were only two guards on duty due to cutbacks, minister shatter is going to need some serious ****ing neck to continue to tell people that public safety has not been compromised due to the Garda cutbacks.

Absolute disgrace and i hope each one of these animals are brought to justice.

delthedriver · 26-01-2013 01:24AM

Sincerest condolences to the late Garda's family. RIP

This is truly shocking .

Like many of the other Ops I am also angry that a man who was out doing his job this evening will not be returning home to his loved ones, because he was murdered .

Our thoughts and prayers tonight are for his family whose lives have also been destroyed by the evil, mindless murderers.

Without doubt it is time to reintroduce the death penalty for the murder of a Garda.

Words fail me

As I said 2 pages back, its 40 years mandatory for killing a Gardai.

Son Of A Vidic · 26-01-2013 01:26AM

May he RIP and my heartfelt condolences to his poor family during this terrible time.

Unfortunately though, Garda stations will continue to close and Garda numbers will still be cut. After all, Enda & Co will continue to kneel at the altar of 'austerity' and obey their 'Troika' masters.

the problem in this country is that we jail people who have addiction problems, who really need medical help. These guys may appear before a trail judge ( who has in his earlier career been a defence lawyer) who will do his best to get them off if his old pall the barrister defending them cant do it. There will be a load of public money spent defending them, If they are jailed, they probably have kids who will grow up in a difficult life, visiting daddy in prison etc, the process will repeat itself.
This is needless violence and there is a lot of suffering for some families tonight.
