    Certainly was. Compelling viewing. He came across as being honest, telling his side.
    Looking at what he was accused of, glad I don’t have those problems.

    Ah here, we do have our problems, I do agree, however I wouldn’t knock this country. We have a lot to be proud of and many is the time I think I won’t the lottery of life being born in Ireland.
    There aren’t many places in the world he would have gotten to tell his story like tonight.

    It would make you wonder how many other Maurice McCabes out there, both inside and outside of the force.

    Nearly the worst thing about all this is the fact that the GRA(Garda Union) never utter a word of support for the man or lifted a finger to help him. If that isn't a sign of a toxic culture in the AGS then I don't know what is!!:mad::(

    What was it McCabes had hanging on the wall of their kitchen (silence is sanction).

    It's the lack of accountability, no one will go to jail and that taxpayers will pay for it all, there by encouraging it to happen again and again.

    No just a spare wheel I think. The triangle is compulsory for commercial vehicles

    Is it? No mention of it when I put the Trooper through tbe test.
    It is required for Taxi's.
    (Only know that because I witnessed a taxi man have a furious row with the special taxi-tester in the local NCT centre)

    If the current government had any backbone they would leave Callaghan out to dry paying his own legal costs and stripping his pension, of course that’s fantasy land stuff, their has to be some type of legislation brought in where Gardai that commit perjury and convicted of it do jail time

    Not for the test but it's compulsory to carry one in a commercial vehicle

    Lad from munstergroup called to my house and saved me about 50€ a month in life insurance with slightly better payouts. That was in comparison to AIBs Irish life cover.

    As far as I know ya don't need a spare wheel either. But if you have a spare wheel present for the test it must have legal tread.

    This is 100% correct. If the spare does not comply, remove it.

    Me feeling sorry for myself! Had a cyst under the skin of my midriff removed this morning. Painkillers worn off now and its soooore! It got infected twice in short succession and docs decided that at the rate I was going I'd become immune to a particularly useful penicillen antibiotic so sliced and diced under local. Have I mentioned that it's sore????
