Jaysus there’s more Wallopers in this thread than at a GRA meeting, the Gurriers most running riot on the streets right now.

Yes they have. You see your average gurrier doesn’t get out of bed untill the afternoon and this was noticed in the mid 80′s, there was a slight improvement in the boom years when many of them felt the need to do a “bit of dis and dat”, this was later translated to mean anything from dealing, stealing or selling stolen goods and tended to revolve around drugs. During the boom years the drug scene flourished and the average gurrier progressed into this leaving the street gurrier behind, the average gurrier became a high class gurrier and amassed vast amounts of wealth during this period but still maintained his sleep pattern. The high class gurrier sold his product to the new average gurrier, who now became quite wealthy by Irish standards, but still maintained his sleep pattern. He in turn sold his drugs to the street gurrier who used them at every available opportunity and slept mainly during daylight hours, in order to pay for them he robbed from anyone around him and mugged anyone who crossed his path, the elderrly were preferred. This didn’t slip past the attention of the gardai who notice everything and over the years passed all this information on to various Ministers of Justice, none of them took any notice, untill one day one did, but there was a wee problem. The boom had gone, the high class gurrier had fallen on hard times, there wasn’t many of them left now, quite a few average gurriers though and no shortage of street gurriers and they all maintained their sleep patterns and the MOJ, we’ll call him Alan, read the reports. Alan had a meeting with senior gardai and discussed this with them, how the gurriers didn’t get up untill the afternoon, and he had an idea. If the gurriers are in bed the gardai may as well be in bed too so he made something out it, he closed loads of garda stations and closed others at night. Yeah, the MOJ, Alan made a mistake, he didn’t know the difference between am and pm so when the gurriers are up and about doing their thing there’s none of his gardai about to stop them. Oooopppss, big mistake. As he said to Enda, do you think anyone will notice?

Fuk me! I thought REM was a rock group from Georgia USA. So all along it was a subliminal transition in the late morning sleep patterns of drug addled skangers and Guards.

Found the list on here http://www.justice.ie/en/JELR/Pages/PR11000245

Lots of the rural locations can look forward to an hour response time, at least, if they need a Garda.

Bailiffs? AKA private Gestapo of the TV licence man, the council tax man, the water rates man, the banks etc……Do we really want to go down that route?

I agree with you that jailing people for fines is crazy and should be dealt with by some sort of community service and stop clogging up the system with them. There are however serial offenders who never pay a single fine and rack up thousands so jail is probably the only option for them.

Stupid checkpoints on Bank Holidays? Overtime? Why should drink drivers or criminals be given free rein on a Bank Holiday aside from any other day? And Gardai are rostered 24/7 so they already work Bank Holidays so nobody is on overtime.

Eh Id say you just DID!

Less of the funny jokes lads . If we don’t have a resourceful police force we will have anarchy, and then every citizen is vulnerable . Just remember young Garda ciarain jones who recently lost his life trying to save others while off duty . Now we will have less people like him because a lot of them are being forced into retirement.

One bag of chips for the whole station? Any chance it was a prisoner meal?

Well done you must be very proud of your ability to occasionally think.A seriously intelligent comment…

No bodder sergeant!
