Yesterday I had been in this place to get a Lerner permit licence form and the guy was very nice.as I am a foreigner in this country I must say that Gardai are very helpful, polite and friendly here.

Is this what the Gardai's PR department have to resort to?

Not always a good thing

If there's one thing I've learned from TV it's the best detectives and police officers are raging alcoholics, their wife has left them and they spent most days in dark, dank bars where they get into fights and cuss and swear at everyone

However, they are consistently superb at their job and always get their man :cool:

aw sergeant bdorange, hows the wife?

Of course they were nice to you, the Gardai make all their money on tickets. They are so good at that. Probably the best in the world.

I have to say, the Gardai in Ireland get an awful time. There's a few eejits in there of course, but in general they are fantastic.

They were really great to me when I actually needed them.

Even if the bastards did give me a speeding fine and 2 penalty points last week

they probably deserve a nice fat pay rise and free doughnuts for life

I remember walking home after school one day and seeing a hit and run on a cyclist in Dundrum. I managed to take down the reg of the car and reported it to the gardai. They found the culprit who happened to be Vietnamese. I was asked to appear in court on behalf of the prosecution. In my pre-court briefing, the local garda sarge's advice was "Let's nail this g _ _ k bas_ _ _ d."

Nothing in Ireland is free. Especially anything to do with the public sector.

What do you call a young Gardaí?

A piglet.

Some guards are nice, some are ****ers, rinse and repeat.
Anyway, this thread will amass a few pages, leading to an all out riot!

And they always do it with just 24 hours left on the case, some of that time being spent in a strip club.

Welcome to Ireland OP. Glad to hear you got good Customer Service from the Guards in Whitehall.

I do apologise if my screams, coming from the cells behind the desk, were off putting in anyway whilst you got sorted but the lads paid particular attention to detail that night in extracting that confession out of me. Even I was impressed at their fantastic operation of the telescopic batons that evening.

Why the feck you telling us?

Are the Gardai so piss poor you feel a need to post a thread on the Internet because one did their job in a pleasant manner.

Says it all really.

I thought whitehall closed. You sure it was a guard?

Hm. Poster comes in, says they had a nice interaction with a Garda and everyone instantly thinks they're lying and must be a Garda too. Yup, sounds about right for here.

I've meet thousands of people who carry out their work in a pleasant and professional manner, including Gardai.

Its the starting a thread about it which is odd.

I actually wondered why Garda get a hard time, until i actually thought about it.

For me personally on an OK wage working 9 - 5 the only time i would have dealings with the garda are ......

If i were to break the law.

Driving offences speeding / bus lane etc .....

all this would cost me money


If i were a victim .

Car was robbed = statement taken and a burnt out car
I was robbed = statement taken , my money was gone
House was robbed = statement taken all belongings are gone
Bike was robbed = statement taken bike is gone
Murdered = an investigation and an arrest. (hopefully) but then what would you care , your dead.
