It’s pretty self explanatory, I would of liked to have trained to be a member of An Garda Síochána.

9pm Virgin One as usual. Should be a good one. It’s been a fascinating insight. I might be different but the more I watch it the more I wish I had of been a Garda.

As I said earlier, I’d last about 4 hours and be sacked for clocking some cheeky little git. I don’t know how they do it in fairness.
My opinion of them has soared having watched this programme.

Atlantic Dawn

Bump, looks like lots of action tonight.

First time watching it tonight.

Some fine looking guards on it.

That's bleak about the young woman.

Why oh why do women stay with abusers like that lad?
He throws her to the ground and kicks her in the head and she won’t have him charged and remains with him. Madness.

Carrying a knife should be a mandatory 3 month sentence for first offence.

technocrat

Those scrotes giving the Guards the fingers and shouting ‘Youse payslip paid for me new jacket’!

There should be an offence in the land for disrespecting a police force that comes with a sentence of some sort.

If they get away with that at a young age they will grow up with no fear of a policing body.

Christ Cabra, Finglas and blanch are lawless. Gotta feel sorry for any normal person who has to try and raise kids there. Do they have any chance.

The courts seem to be the problem.
Lads with 100 charges still out and about.

Stabbing in Dunsink, lol, that won't be from a knife.

Unfortunately your right.

The legal system needs a major overhaul to deal with repeat offenders.

The 3 strike rule should seriously be looked at and make the sentence on the 3rd offence a mandatory 10yr imprisonment.

We seem to have this post every week. And it seems to be from people who know nothing of either of the areas.

150 people a week reported missing must put a massive strain on resources.

Has his own house at 38 and on heroin, doing much better than me.

Yes hopefully a 2nd series coming soon or perhaps they could lash together a special with new recruits to the area and how they reacted to it.

Theres a thread called garda checks over in the covid forum. You get a glimpse of some of the knuckle draggers they encounter on a daily basis.

In 6 episodes they probably spent 10 minutes in Cabra. The place is largely gentrified from what I can gather.

There's homes for 500k plus in parts of Blanch.


The absolute scutter you read on the Accommodation and Property forum here about how bad certain places are, some people are afraid of their own shadow. They see a teenager hand a bag of weed to someone and think it makes the place Compton.

Any way to watch this with no telly? Online or such?

Inside the K was meant to start last Autumn but got postponed for whatever reason (trials completing perhaps?).

The abduction referred to at the end took place January just gone so they returned out to them. Whether that hints they are back filming full time, who knows.

I noticed that as well. Cabra didn't feature much in it at all. I guess they have their hands full with the rest of the district.

Not sure if it is geographically limited.

Actually it appears quite a chunk of this episode was filmed later than the initially planned air date for the programme. Unless Brian went missing in the meantime again

The rest of it seemed to be filmed in the summer (the guards searching for the lads on the rural backroads were bare armed, hardly how you would be dressed beyond September)

Same person posting it each week too I think, I don't know Finglas well but the vast vast majority of people in Cabra & Blanch are fine with settled estates that see little crime. There are small areas and small numbers of people that take up all of the Garda resources in these places but overall its far from lawless or the wild west

It’s the same in Dundalk. A few rough areas give the rest a bad name. There’s great people here, great community spirit but a few Neanderthals with long strings of convictions grab all the headlines. Same people in the courts weekly.

I know Dundalk fairly well. Have a friend living in one of the rougher estates. The majority of people in the estate are bang on and are decent hard working people. Then of course there are some dodgy people. Once you don't get involved with them you are grand.

It really is a nice town. Anytime I've been out in it there has been no more trouble than anywhere else I have been.

Just finished watching the last episode, it’s a credit to each and every officer on duty in that district, fellas having full blown conversations after being stabbed in the side and in the head just looking to go home and not go to get treatment would blow your mind. The should need the highest paid in society without argument. I would love to see the better side of those areas with more community policing activities shown in Part 2 if they ever release one. Now more then ever we appreciate the Gardaí.

Anyone missing a Garda fix, they are showing a repeat of The Gardai: Policing Paddy's, same time, same channel next week...

The amount of additional work they have to get involved in is ridiculous. Getting dragged in to minding the mentally ill and policing the suicidal is no place for the Guards. I can understand them having to attend potentially dangerous scenes but only until th danger is under control. They should then be gone. There should be a dedicated service for the mentally ill and suicidal. Trained to deal with, diagnose and decide where these people should be sent after the incidence. Bringing them back to the Garda station is a waste of both the Guards and the persons time. There can be no good outcome from that.

There also is a serious need for a new large prison and tougher sentencing to deal with the absolute scrotes they deal with. The Guards should have bodycams and any threats or aggressive behaviour towards them should result in a heavy sentence. If they can't have weapons to defend themselves then the justice system needs to.

Bodycams would make this dirtbags think twice anyway and would give officers more confidence.

Similar in the UK. And in the US, in that part of the world if you've a mental illness and there's a welfare check you could end up being shot dead. The mental health services here don't have enough staff for some of their daily stuff, not to mention anything specialised, long waiting lists. As the senior Garda said in that episode said, after 5pm it's the blue light service that responds and that's not on. It needs to be a community mental health services who deal with this, not law enforcement. I believe there are some local groups (such as this) who have set up initiatives, but they are a band aid solution, volunteers and there are not enough of them. The rest of the mental health system is led by charities.

They should set up a pilot scheme in Dublin and if its sucessful roll it out to large urban centres. The Guards time is too valuable to be tied up in that and with the best will in the world they are no real use to the individual. Half the time its like a red rag to a bull as most of them would have a perceived bias against the cops.

:rolleyes:

No, neither I nor my brothers (all raised in Finglas), or any of our numerous friends from the area, ever had a chance.

We're all dole-collecting, drug-abusing serious criminals with no respect for the Gardaí. None of us ever had a decent education, went on to college or have good jobs, houses, mortgages etc. We all sponge off the state and don't contribute to society in any way.

Of the 31,529 (2006 census - it's probably more by now) people living in Finglas, not one had a chance.

Virgin seem to be very invested in these propaganda pieces.

Watched the whole lot of K over a day. Transparent propaganda. Very strange they don't mention Dara Quigley, or the three high ranking officers caught passing info to the Kinahan cartel, or any of their other BS. Very strange. These 'documentary makers' should be ashamed, any documentary will show all angles and let the viewer decide. Pure propaganda. Wonder if they're getting a cheque.

This is literally why COPS was finally greenlit in the states after many years of the concept being passed around unsuccessfully. It was greenlit as a propaganda piece after too many controversies in the media.

It literally did the tour of the country, moving from season to season to cities that had recently had controversies, to get the authoritative crowd on their side.

No patience for the scrotes they work with either mind you. Just want an honest police force that answers to their own transgressions, which they absolutely do not.

Yeah, none of that is relevant to the subject matter in this documentary. The 'K' bit of the title being the clue......
