are most Gardai not happy to retire at 50?
I was speaking to a German police man during the summer and they cannot retire until they are 60.

What else does he bring to the area... usually a property portfolio, and a bag of donuts..

I think its more true to say that there is more petty crime in towns where there is a Garda station than in rural ares

irishh_bob

you,d think it was the northern territory of australia they were discussing , this country is full of small towns with stations which are only open for a few days each week anyway , theese small towns are usually only three or four mile from larger towns so if you need a guard , its merley a case of waiting another five mins for the cops to arrive , as for this nonesense about needing a local copper to integrate themselves within the community , guards are not parish priests , only in a darby o gill movie , do they call round on thier bikes asking mrs o brien whether her cat is stuck up a tree

Glad this one's uncle was ok but you have to wonder what real use is ringing you to see if you are ok when there is a robber actually inside your house!

what was that 1850 715 815

To be fair irish bob, even in an arguably less rural area like louth, within easy reach of Dublin criminals there are only a limited number of patrol cars for a very wide area that're not covered by manned stations... these c*nts are doing their break ins and getting out on the motorway again before gardaí arrive on the scene.

F*ck off Fergal...repak, another useless quango hanging on the tit of small business.

Wonder would that goat be so enthusiastic if he was on the way to the slaughter house.

Listen I agree 100% with you, but even you can see that in times like these, crime will rise and especially in areas where the chances of being caught plummet due to lack of local officers... people at the very least deserve some protection from these vultures. Individual gardaí can't opt for a paycut...it's down to unions. Stuff like reservists are objected to by same unions...neighbourhood watch is grand and all but it's no deterrent to burglars and opportunists.

Damo: "Sure they were going to be slaughtered anyway" :rolleyes:
