If Joe can get enough pressure going here that Shatter resigns 'Joe for President' in my buk

Joe is obviously starting his 'get rid of Shatter' campaign. He may just be up against a man who is as thick and arrogant as himself!

if discretion is totally taken away from the Garda , it will be worse for ever one all round.

time to time they have given me the chance to produce my licence, or van test into the station if i did not have them on me. by law i presume i shoud have been fined ? Same goes with every little fault on peoples cars , if they police this, with no discretion, alot of the people criticizing them for helping people out will change their tune ...

There is a big difference between what you describe and the quashing of penalty points already properly issued.

What's Joe's agenda here?

Well then she shouldn't have been speeding with all the bloody kids in the car then should she.

But they were taking the p1ss. For instance, why was it politicians who always got away with points?

What about the sportstar that was speeding, after being let off?

What if he killed someone?

Obviously if it was an emergency, like a pregnancy in the car, well that's grand. But the hundreds of cases did not involve that. They were just taking the p1ss.

If any more evidence was needed of Garda corruption - these muppets have just added more fuel to the fire.

Did Duffy just say "all great servants of the state" ???

After they calling up to gloat on how they let people off with traffic offences and he thinks they are "great servants of the state", what a clown Duffy is

Interrupting this for death. No surprises.

Why does he imply that someone has died and then not mention who it is? That's just going to cause relatives of other politicians (who haven't died, ) unnecessary stress.

Nicky McFadden TD has died RIP.

fair enough about cancelling ones already issued, but the big deal being made of something, IMO , not very important, will lead down the line of little or no discretion from the Garda. All this political nit picking will lead us all into a much worse situation in general I feel

"Mmm."

Joe has lost interest.

I was distracted at the start of this story. Did his father die on the plane?

ThisRegard

Passed eligible for insurance. Eh Joe, you don't go for a bloody assessment, you read the terms and conditions and you tick if you're suitable or not for the policy, including declaration of any such operations.

Roger_007

I'm not sure what this fellow is complaining about. He seems to be more upset that he lost his holiday than anything else. If nothing had happened, the money would be spent now anyway.

But he has no wifi in the studio..

Mike Guide 69

Crux of the issue is "pre existing condition",after his fathers heart was deemed ok and was getting back to health, saying that his father was walking 10k in the gym or whatever, once a condition has been in place irregardless of how many years back it was, insurance companies will latch on to those details and dig their heels in unfortunately!!!

vicwatson

He got back to Orlando "thanks be to God"

Joe replies "lord rest him"

Dan Jaman

It's a disgrace, Joe.

ThisRegard

Oh FFS caller, they're currently outside my house and I can barely hear Joe, you don't hear me ringing and complaining about it.

Here's a tip for you, look out the window, if the truck is there, wait a while before you have to leave. Whinger.

Such a liar, we were never informed.

vicwatson

Sure just block their vans in, end of
