Five people in a polo thats been involved in a crash is bad news.

Id expect more tragedies....

A Dub in Glasgo

Those 5 occupants should be operated on without anesthetic

Kermit.de.frog

Sorry the article is unclear. Does not say that they didn't get way.

I hope the scumbags being chased by the Gardaí die off one by one overnight in screaming agony.

R.I.P to the poor woman caught up in this.

Jesus christ. I'm a cynical **** at the best of times, but what the **** is wrong with you.

Poor woman lost her life, can't imagine what her family are going through right now.

Such an idiotic statement.

who uses a polo as a getaway car.

Probably showing off with the squad car

Folks, ignore him. Check his other posts,......

Goes without saying. RIP to the young woman killed tonight.

Could have been any one of us.

Rip to the poor woman involved and sincere condolences to a family that has received some tragic news tonight.

Don't feed.


If the gardai were given far more resources they could probably have brought this to an end sooner and without injury.


Sorry

Rip to the poor woman.

But I have to ask, why were the guards making the boxing manoeuvre beside a slipway while another driver was in the middle?

Kermit.de.frog

Sure god love them. You can see the script in front of the judge already - "only buzzin, nuthin to do, bad upbringing" etc

Five people in a Polo is dodgy when you're obeying the law, not to mind speeding in a getaway! :eek:

Saddened to hear that there was a woman killed, a case of wrong place at the wrong time. The book must be thrown at those accountable.

Sadly we don't do justice in Ireland and vast majority here know that won't happen. They won't get what they should get. Never do. More concern with their rights rather than the victims.

They have a lack of 'facilities' in fairness. Poor lads.

Basterds, rip. Poor woman's family. I hope those scumbags get locked up for 20 years.


However I would like to know why it's seen as a necessity to chase youths on a busy motorway. Is not far more convenient to just follow them with a chopper of sorts to avoid what happened.

It's also like to know if the garda who stopped them were qualified to pursue at high speed s

Any scumbag that says in court "nuthin to do" and puts the words "your honour" at the end should get an automatic hanging by the balls and 15 year jail sentence for being a thick.

'A chopper of sorts' might be otherwise engaged or useless because it won't be on the scene in time before they disappear into some sh1thole estate. Ground units would still be required to pursue them regardless in case they ditch the car.

We need to crack down seriously on this sort of behaviour. None of these little scrotes have any fear because they'll most likely walk away with a slap on the wrist when all is said and done. A woman who was innocently going about her day is now dead because of the actions of the 5 people in that car. No doubt a family somewhere not too far away from me right now has had their hearts ripped out because of the stupid reckless f*ckery of those arseholes.

The Gardai were attempting to box the Polo in, the victim was apparently attempting to merge and ended up in the middle of the manouvere between the lead Garda car and the Polo. It's hardly a job for Sherlock.

totally agree with your sentiment. But they will probably get a suspended sentence.

I would wonder was it not possible for the Gardai in pursuit to communicate with the local cops in Kildare to close off the slip road from the town as they passed.

That's what the papers are saying. I think when the Ombudsmans investigation is completed it will show that wasn't the case.

A slipway is the wrong area to make a boxing manoeuvre unless the junction has been closed to incoming traffic.

Open to correction on this but was there not some sort of kibosh put on the guards re engaging in high speed chases with joyriders in the last few years?
I think it came about after there had been several accidents/ deaths of the people who were being pursued and then IIRC a guard died?

There may have been factors which forced their hand and it had to be done there..we don't know.

Depending on when they picked up the Polo they may not have had time to or they may have radioed ahead for it to be done but as with anything there is a response time.

RIP to the woman.

Yes, and if possible have a load of spike strips ahead to puncture the tires, but I know this isn't always possible because of slip roads, side streets etc.

--LOS--

Where are you all getting 7 people from including guards, any news source so far says 5 people taken to hospital, doesn't specify what people

I would love to see long sentences for morons like these but you and I both know that some other moron will stand up in the Dail or such, claiming that these morons are victims themselves. Feel so sorry for the family and friends of that lady.

There are lots of small country roads off the motorway in that area with no lights etc, so it might have been deemed safer to try and stop them on the motorway. Also, if they went onto the country roads, they could have inflicted more damage and the Gardai would have been blamed for not trying to stop them sooner, I suspect.

I was hoping this would be a good news story, i.e. one of the scum bags dead, but no an innocent woman going about her own business died... well Ill be hoping for some good news...
