RTE are gagged & controlled by political crooks! don’t watch it. Spread the word.

I can assure everybody that there was over 1,500 in attendance as I was there doing basic head counting. The minister says this closure is cost neutral so what’s the angle? Less police on the streets will lead to more crime. Our station was put on reduced hours last year so he could use that as his excuse for the now closure. He needs to Stepaside or have an honest (ha!) debate on the matter regarding all of these closures. Everyone the only thing to do is get out and protest it may not change things but it will force them to listen as we are the ones who decides who should be in Government. Remember this when they come asking for a job (your vote).

Exactly Norman. Or it will get about 30 seconds coverage if at all . Rte . Another old boys club . It’s criminal what them top broadcasters are earning in the current times . All afraid to rock the boat and speak their minds .

State controlled media

RTE radio said about 1200.

RTE said 1200, Gardai say 2500.

I’m torn between not wanting the station to close and having to not laugh at the reversal in the pattern of the crowd size estimation…

Politicians love it when People say “shur what can we do”. Time to wake the hell up folks.

Shatter takes orders, rather than making decisions. People should be focusing their outrage at source. Meanwhile, Shatter is not doing the job he is paid to do! He should be removed from public service immediately!

If Phil Hogan were minister for Justice, you could be damn sure no cop shops in Kilkenny would be closing. At least Shatter is an equal opportunity shafter.

You voted for them.

We won’t next time mule.

Great then vote for some ridiculous collection of populist republicans and socialists. Then we can spend are way to a solid future. FG are driving a train without brakes. They inherited huge annual expenditure and hundreds of billions in guaranteed debts.

@ Mule.. I did indeed and it is one of the worst decisions I have ever made .
I will never even allow one of the sleveen liars from either party onto my property and there will be a sign to that effect.

False twitter account !!!! Should have known…. Tut tut.

I didnt

Mike
Are you able to make political comments without the libelous vulgarity. The English language is a rich source of material to help you contribute without vulgarity and accusations of a character type that are certainly not reflective of Mr Shatter.

SHUT UP SHITE TALK ,2 MANY GUARDS ARE SITTING ON THERE ASS DOING NOTHING BUT EATING.

Good man Danny, was wondering when we would see the number one fan of An Garda Siochana!!!! Get more penalty points did we?????? Looking from yer pic, you’ve sat on yer fat arse waaaaaaaay longer then these “Gardai” you mention

Collective Shit Hitting The Fan,,,,,, love it!

How is fluoride a mind altering substance? And even if it was you’d have to be consuming vast quantities of water for it to have effect.

Crisis started in 2008.

Beginning of the marches 2013.

At this rate you’ll have everyone out on the street by 2027.

But the crisis will be well over then.

David considering the policies being pursued by FG you might need to revise your timescale.

I think you’ll find that everyone already protested to remove ff but then fg lied to everyone about changing things, such as “not another red cent to bondholders”, you can check their manifesto here, full of brokem promises

@Sean: A recently-published Harvard University meta-analysis funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has concluded that children who live in areas with highly fluoridated water have “significantly lower” IQ scores than those who live in low fluoride areas.

What do you think the reasons are? The electorate absolutely sicken me. All indignant rants motivated by utter selfishness.
Here is the reason btw, it contains numbers so you might be in trouble.

How much should you spend if you are earning 30K a year? Bad question considering the average proles household budgeting skills but the answer should be pretty close to 30K and not 50K.

So it looks like rodgers has yet another cowardly name to troll behind.

Mike are you referring to me?

He thinks we are one and the same. He can recognise that ‘fancy talk’ anywhere.

That’s the spirit Gerard. Lets boot them out and cut 15billion in expenditure over night. You’d be happy enough to see welfare cut in half and hospitals closed everywhere outside a few cities?

I read Gerard’comment nowhere did he mention what you just did.Try reading his comment.:-)

“shag the imf we the people can get them out”
That is where he mentioned booting out the IMF, how did you miss that? The following text was my explanation of the direct consequences of his suggestion. It was using an argumentative device to show Gerard’s lack of understanding of this issue. Of course he’d be sickened if we were cutting hospitals and other expenditure whilst increasing taxes. He’d be posting his ill-informed outrage on the journal for sure. Gerard is selfish and in denial. He wants us to be a rich nation again but we are not. You can either exist of IMF and EU loans or we can cut/tax. Which is it big man?

No I think he was regarding booting out our own government.

Still with the insults,you must be great crack to be around?

Troll

Resort to name calling when you can’t compete with me intellectually Mike if that makes you happy. I’m an educator and I’m here to help.
When a civilian says something like “there is no policing plan for the country” I will helpfully supply them with last years policing plan.

Educator.!!!!!! Now there’s a laugh.
You are nothing but a sad pathetic troll that needs to hide behind false identities as you spew your tripe.
Your nothing but a muppet.

Mike has he really changed his name again?

@ Norman.
Yep, fine muppet is back . It hasn’t got the cop on to change style.

Lads, you can debate here if you like but take your troll witch hunts to private facebook messages. You have a great resource here with me posting insights. AMA.

No it ok i find you amusing.But if your’re going to keep changing your name you have to change the writing style aswell.;-)

When you stop your bullying,insults and smart comments then stop hiding behind false names you might recieve some respect but setting up false twitter accounts is just the act of a coward.
BTW,have you read the terms and conditions of twitter membership… No ! Didn’t think so.

3 miles, but the traffic on that road is awful so it’s at least a ten minute journey. Someone tries to rob the An Post office here, that becomes a very long ten minutes (the An Post office is across the road from the existing Garda station).

The policing plan I meant was a plan on the lines of the North’s Patten Report ie a plan to reorganise the force.
See http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/weekend/2013/0202/1224329550061.html for a similar idea.

Sorry, should have made it clearer.

maybe the Garda station is a factor in the low crime stats.

The governments knows what they have to do,but they won’t because if would affect them and their friends.

If only we had politicians who would lead by example and take a reasonable cut themselves first! Explain to me how some TD’s can claim twice the average industrial wage in expenses when rural Garda stations are being closed down!? Maybe the IMF will say ‘No more money lads too ye take a hard look in the mirror!’ Nope…No chance!
