    Maybe they were all out of Templemore on a training course for car chases.
    Ive never seen so many cop cars in Ireland in one place.

    What you cant see is the cars sharply turning after coming off screen, then doubling back for the next lap. Id say about 3 cars involved all together.

    Wow, I counted <edit> 24. I didn't know that there were 24 Garda vehicles available at any one time in the country :confused:

    The most I counted before was 17 and they were chasing after a stolen Micra.

    Complete overkill tbh. Would one of the sargents not have said after the 20th car was deployed - Jhesus lads, if we don't cetch him wit 20 cars den surely we need our heads checked. Bejhesus!

    <edit> I thought the milk van was a lost paddy wagon

    Maybe the Knacks stole another TD's car ? I don't see as many Garda cars chasing them now compared to the 90's when it was like the Blues Brothers at times..

    :eek:

    Probably a raid on some guy who forgot to pay his T.V. license.

    They're really cracking down on that I hear.

    Nah. Everyone knows the embarrassment of being caught (and a fine) is enough punishment.

    I think they are chasing two cars, probably from a ram raid or something. With 4 criminals in each.

    No I think it was a dog licence. If it was a tv licence there would be more helicopters and motor bike guards out.

    Video starts too late, you missed the big truck going past with Smokey driving. The cop cars were all hot on the tail of the Bandit...

    They don't do that any more, they just send the army in after those heartless scumbags who don't pay their tv license.

    I have seen this happen before, its usually an hour before shift change, they have to go back and get showered, change clothes and sit at the desk for 30 mins waiting for their replacements to arrive

    They were trying to make it in time for the Dunkin Donuts Midnight Special Offer?

    EDIT: *cough* Of course, if there was a West Dublin forum the people there might know the answer! *cough*
