They were detectives, they are armed, well done all the same

Wise up

If there are no guards, how was this crime foiled within minutes of happening? Clearly the current plan of closing small Garda stations makes no odds.

Use a bit of cop on and you’ll answer your own question Brian.

Brian clearly this was a tip-off. If you really think closing small stations makes no odds, take a look at whats been going on in Donegal recently. The guards have done their job here, and done it well. Lets hope the judiciary do their job and impose the appropriate sentence.

Eh, intelligence

Brian, these guards were from balbriggan about 7 miles away

Might as well b closed its never opened

Surely if it’s never opened then, eh, it is closed??

oh really? just like the last robbery the guards were “conveniently” waiting outside…that’s some panic button!

Please stop speculating as this compromises this aspect of police work. Just accept that the Gardai did an excellent job and move on.

Well then do something about it then. Run for office if you have to and quit cribbing like an armchair manager!

To be fair its north county dub! Its a tiny little rural village far far from the bright lights of the city! :)

How far from the city? Would be waiting 30-40mins for assistance??

We’re about 15 minutes from our nearest station balbriggan Garda station. We have a population of over 5k, how many people live in Ballymoe? It was a job well done by our Gardai in this instance.

Plus Balbriggan serves Balbriggan itself and the other surrounding areas. A very busy station!! So 15 minutes if you’re lucky! :D

Very true!
