This looks interesting seems to have rattled a few feathers before it's even aired must be a first for the Gardai to publicly criticize an area and already the self serving councillors are up in arms.

Atlantic Dawn

Looks good, about time people saw the goings on in Ireland today.

Atlantic Dawn

Bump, starting at 9.

Samsgirl

Waiting!

Thargor

This is good.

Left it so there now. I know there’s probably interesting subject matter but whatever way it’s done it’s coming across really boring and all over the shop.
Pity, had been looking forward to it.

Sierra Oscar

It’s interesting but whatever way it’s produced it seems really disjointed. An ad break eight minutes in didn’t help either.

Wheety

They should have got Channel 4 to come and make this. Virgin Media are very poor at this sort of thing. I remember the Irish football hooligan thing :rolleyes:

Atlantic Dawn

Switching from one crime to another and back again is making it a bit of a mess.

beertons

I'm lost.

The Black Oil

State of yer man.

It is a bit awkward to watch alright, hopping back and forth a fair bit.

That said, it demonstrates how, still, the guards are a soft touch. Every time they get confronted, especially by the chap behind the gate giving dogs abuse, nothing happens. At all. :rolleyes:

beertons

Yer one, the neck of yiz.

Atlantic Dawn

Should have given him a pack of plasters off the shelf and told him to look after himself, ungrateful fecker.

touts

I'm alternating between thinking Jesus how depressing is this and Jesus ban-gardai these days are hot!

Why is the area called the K... the kip?

scotchy

K district I think.

Body cams badly needed and then in court the judge can see why an agressive thug required a belt of a baton across the face.

Slippin Jimmy

Just goes to show how reckless these "people" are. Shooting around a busy supermarket and then yer man giving out to the Guards. Father and son in hospital at the same time .

Samsgirl

Wouldn't do their jobs for any money.
The abuse alone....

They 100 percent deserve their free coffee from filling stations.

Fred Cryton

And we have 24% of the population voting for a party whose members applauded a man known to have murdered a Guard.

Speaking of money, I somehow think that I might not have a problem paying a bit more tax if it meant resourcing and supporting these poor feckers properly.

How they can still do this job, facing these scum is beyond me.

When is episode 2?

I presume next Wednesday at 9.

These fellas have some intense hatred for the Guards built up. Even when they are shot and the Guards are trying to help them they are still giving them abuse.

Now hold a second, why does your mate dragging the election into this get a free pass? They were the first ones to wade in with an unwarranted post, and that’s what triggered my response. Is it just because you agree with their politics?

Is it because you agree with SF members standing and applauding a garda killer?

No. I agree with him because his point was factually correct. Yours was baseless sectarian Sinn-Fein-IRA propaganda against a hard working decent man who also happens to be friendly with every senior lawyer in the country. I know whose side I feel safer on.

Banana Republic.

Add to that Gardaí brought his son back when his pulse was gone and he was dead at the scene, then the female abuses them. On another planet these wasters.

Agree with you there.

And knackers are "ethical minority".

A glorified baby sitting service for the criminals of the country. I don't get why they can't start busting heads.


I'd say every Garda in the country that's getting up in the morning and rocking into their rural station in backass-of-nowhere leitrim, kerry, clare, etc. was having a good laugh watching that show tonight. Same wages, none of the hassle. Talk about winning the career lottery.

LillySV

Problem in this country is the legal system... continuous unlimited free legal aid for scum ... approved by hungry legal system/scum who give small sentences for scumbags which are in turn reduced to near nothing once sentence starts

purifol0

Pity none of the parties wanted to touch "justice" as an issue in the gen election. Peter Casey mentioned travellers criminality once in an hour long interview and next thing you know every Gard was gonna vote him number 1 for president.

We need more prison spaces and no more commutation of sentences for recidivist crims

If you're the only Garda in a garda station covering a large district, you probably won't be laughing when you spend most of your day filling out paperwork and doing menial labour.

Don't be silly. We already have a party of Law and Order, FG. Just look at their achievements since 2011.

That's still a lot better than getting the head pucked off you, or worse.

Slippin Jimmy

The sentences that were handed out were awful. Was it 5 or 7 years for threatening to kill a guard, fire arms and resisting arrest?

And that utter scumbag telling the garda that they were going to end up like detective Adrian Donohue. They should have taken a trip to the mountains with that guy. Vile, disgusting waste of space.

This has been done to death on another thread but I couldn't disagree more.

Guards should not be taking freebies from local businesses. Its not ethical behaviour.

How's that working out in the States?

Serious respect for the Gardai from what I saw. My only complaint was a couple of clips where they seemed to be letting themselves get drawn into the bitching and moaning sessions by arguing with these lads. As grating as it must be, I'd expect a bit more professionalism and not letting themselves get provoked tbh.

Exactly, if a criminal is found with firearms and cash then the criminal should not get free legal aid. The justice system needs to be brought up to 2020

Actually free cuppa coffee for drivers I believe is an incentive in alot of garages for Road Safety. If you are going deprive the ppl that can protect your life over a cuppa coffee then your ethics are all wrong. Suppose it's their fault there's so much plastic in the ocean now cause of their coffee cups ffs

Couple of clips compared the everything some of those rats say to them everyday, I think they were very very professional. There's always a bigger context to a few seconds shown on tv.

Offering free coffee to all drivers is an excellent idea. Free coffees, just for guards, is not. It is not ethical for guards to accept free gifts from businesses.

We have feral scum shooting up a Lidl in the middle of the day and you are hand wringing about gardai having a free cappuccino? :rolleyes:

Galwayguy35

After yer man was shot in LIDL the others there go back to doing their shopping!

And the ungrateful c**t gives the Gardai dogs abuse when they are only trying to help him.

Neither him or his scumbag son would have been any loss if they did die, and the daughter had the manners of Vicki Polllard shouting at the emergency services when they were trying to save her oul lads life.

delly

Just watching this now and the amount of tight shots that give you feck all view of what's actually going on, in briefing rooms, traffic stops etc. It seems more artistic focused than informative. The Guards themselves tell a good story though.
