    Just saw a few Garda bikes escort a bus down the Quays of Dublin then into Christchurch. Why an escort this late at night? Who would be on the bus? Who decides who is entitled to an escort?

    Escorts are too expensive in this country. Thailand FTW.

    Played in Sweden 0-0 draw. Would football teams get an Garda escort?

    I've seen football and rugby team buses get escorted to and from stadiums at many levels. Bogball teams usually just drive to the pub in their tractors after matches.

    There's a recession on you know! They're all bussed around the place when they're on the move en masse.

    No they wouldn't! Maybe escorted out of the grounds if there was trouble outside it that's about it.

    Would they pay for it? I have seen them getting driven out of the environment of the stadium and away from fans flanked by Gardai but didn't think they would spin them the whole way to the hotel. The soccer guys stay at the airport while the rugby boys are in Carton House I think. Quiet a spin.

    Sick or in labour is fine could be your family like, but if its some sports team or music star surely they should pay for the privilege.

    A football or rugby team would be charged for the services of the Gardai if such services were requested.

    I thought this was about a (ban ) Garda earning a bit on the side as an escort.

    My friend got a nnnnGarda escort when her labour accelerated without warning.

    She said it was terrifying but lovely and the Gardaí gave her a guard of honour going in to the maternity and were all calling out best wishes!

    It's a nice story I think :)
