I dont think there is anything quite like the conceit and self regard of an ex Garda...

Fair City isn't broadcast on Monday nights.

This is getting curiouser and curiouser :pac:

I wonder are there any retired gardai on this thread? Shatter out. Moyes in.

Ah no... Having Moyes in charge of United is far too much fun..

I see baldbear no longer has that authority that having your named emboldened brings... You should have joined the guards, once you go bold in there you stayed bold..

Did he get a garda loudspeaker as his retirement present?

JM Skipton · 27-03-2014 02:55PM

Least we know now what way the retired Gardai are spending their pensions..........calling 1850 715 715 all the time

snubbleste · 27-03-2014 02:56PM

What are we not being told?

JM Skipton · 27-03-2014 02:57PM

When Joe asked him about corruption, he should have turned on his
garda siren.:)

CountyHurler · 27-03-2014 02:58PM

"Did you ever come across any tapes"..

While that would be environmentally sound, I think there are better ways of destroying the tapes, Joe..

Patrick Nulty and spankgate couldn't have happened at a better time!

Dan Jaman · 27-03-2014 03:00PM

Why is anyone surprised or feathers being ruffled over garda station calls being recorded? It seems an eminently sensible thing to do and I'm only amazed it wasn't happening before. Outgoing calls - perhaps not, but incoming calls should be.

neris · 27-03-2014 03:00PM

just tuned in and im out. this is boring now.

neris · 27-03-2014 03:02PM

you cant email a garda station but can email & tweet duffy who just ignores you

Dan Jaman · 27-03-2014 03:02PM

Garda email addresses?
garda1@donut.com

CountyHurler · 27-03-2014 03:04PM

Bertie Ahern was liked by everybody and look where that got us..

Must be kicking himself that he resigned - it would have been blown over by Monday with the Shatter etc issues

I think it's being implied by the government and media, that they were not recorded for innocent reasons.

In terms of catching gardaí feeding journalists info, I wouldn't have a problem with that.

In terms of recording 112 calls, that happens in every country.

But Kenny talking to the opposition about revelations would imply there's something bigger behind it.

Blackmail maybe? We'll find out sooner or later.

Mike Guide 69 · 27-03-2014 03:06PM

Even Joe is tuning out now.zzzzzzz!!!!

Some solicitor type.............who came from the lower classes.......NOT.

Joe is fed up. He's frantically trying to get a Magdalene Laundry worker on Line 2.

An Claidheamh · 27-03-2014 03:09PM

I admire Shatter for lowering salaries of judiciary, but I don't think he went anywhere near far enough.

There are some I understand who like him for preparing the groundwork for gay marriage, but that was going to be brought in by whomever was the justice minister.

Yes, and for anyone in a sensitive position or have dodgy/sensitive information, to have entrusted that to a State-controlled telephone line that's connected to a police station, is naive in the extreme. The assumption should have been that calls would have been recorded and act accordingly.

I think a lawyer talking to a client should at least be able to expect that the cops aren't spying on them
