170 new ve-hicles for de Gards.

Just a suggestion, could'nt they get a load of them electric cars,a bit dearer all right, but nearly silent, they could sneak up on the bad guys instead of chasing them and save a fortune on petrol? This suggestion is patented by the way just in case any "transport consultants" are lurking here.

I hope they get something cool. Was up in Dublin last year and there was some sort incident on Nassau st. The amount of unmarked beamers and mercs that pulled up was class, all in black, even the alloys, it was like something out of a movie.

Last week was driving through limerick and an unmarked put on the lights and sirens in a miserable,old,navy mondeo. I actually felt sorry for them, this thing was as rough looking as anything, would be nice to see them getting something cool for a change and it would be a perk for them. Plus I'm sure they would get plenty of young lads up looking at them, wanting to sit in them, would make a change from having rocks been thrown at them.

Only issue there is that if they have to drive the car for longer than an hour then its useless.

we could have gotten 170 thousand cars with the money that's been paid to unsecured bondholders.

Best way to keep a good credit history is to pay said unsecured bondholders. Good thing about keeping a good credit history is that you can get loans at a good rate. Which, when we're f**ked, is something that we need.

Sure it takes over 24 veh-icles to stop people cutting turf, not sure how many would be required for a more serious crime

No, it took 24 vehicles to deal with a public order incident (among other things) involving a couple of hundred people who where trying to facilitate a criminal offence

I was in Dublin at the weekend and I couldn't help but notice how new and modern the garda cars and bikes looked in comparison to the things they give the country guards.

Couple of new avensis yokes up here and some right smart looking unmarked mondeos up the M1.

No matter what they purchase, they'll not get those Branch boys outta their beloved mondeos.
