    Hey! I don't want to step on any toes or anything, but I need technical advice, from a member of the Gardai or the detective force, for the purpose of writing a realistic novel.
    I was wondering if anyone could help me out, or recommend where i can start looking. I've found it very difficult to get useful info online or through other methods. Talking to a experienced Detective would be a great help, if anyone fits the bill or could recommend someone who did.

    Thank you

    Ken

    There's a guy writing for the Herald named P.J. Browne,it says under all his articles that he's a retired detective superintendent,maybe if you rang/emailed the herald they would be able to put you in contact with him.
