    I was driving down Blackhorse Avenue at about 3 or so Friday afternoon and about 15-20 Garda cars were driving in the opposite direction. No lights on or anything, but I thought it was quite odd to see so many in a line.

    Anyone know what that was or would be all about?

    Probably going to the headquarters for a donut.

    That would have been the annual Garda Grand Prix, Highlights on Setanta next week

    Maybe they just took delivery of their new Avensi and were taking them for a burn.

    Sounds like a silly thing to be curious about I know, but I thought it was odd when I saw the first 4... but they just kept coming and I was really like WTF?

    They forgot to bring their sat nav's and got lost, so were driving slowing looking for a street name sign?

    They did sign an order for a load of new Avensis, or Avensi :D , recently so that was more than likely what you saw. They were probably going to or coming from headquarters.
