There is one of these photos in every Garda house in Ireland. In most homes it hangs on the wall as a symbol of pride, of service & of family. The uniform binds my family with theirs. Their loss is also ours.

Soโฆ 3 individuals members of a travelling gang of burglars with over 200 convictions between them drive the wrong way down a busy road 2 avoid arrest crash into a truck write off their car & die & the Garda gets prosecuted? Iโm disgusted canโt see the jury convict but still.. ๐ค
A sitting of Dublin District Coroner's Court heard that the DPP has directed that a garda involved in the pursuit of the three males, who were members of a Tallaght-based criminal gang that specialised in burglaries, is to be charged with a driving offence
@Lynchtr5
Iโm sure Jack & Sarah got huge hugs this evening after they presented their statements to the court. I canโt begin 2 imagine their trauma ๐While the outcome was not what you would have wished I hope you & your family can find solace in the support from ๐ณ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ช & further afield
Disgusting tweet from a little twerp
Every single day AGS are assaulted @ work! Most people meet Gardaรญ on the worst day of their lives (RTAs Murders rapes assaults etc) for cop families there can be a fallout from that & sometimes even ๐ฉธbut yeah.. no risk at all sure ๐ muppet

Maybe Clare thinks that annexing part of Ukraine would appease Russia I mean that worked SOOOO well in Ireland didnโt it? ๐ I canโt understand an Irish person failing to grasp the concept of the aggressive neighbour trying to do a land grab by force never studied Irish history??
Hugely disappointing but not surprising that Graham Carey far right agitator turned up in Shannon where locals (and others) were meeting to discuss concerns over the planned housing of refugees
It is vital that local concerns are not hijacked by those who incite violence & hatred
Apparently the

To be honest I was afraid they would walk completely at least this means they will spend Christmas new year and half of next year behind bars
Itโs not the sentencing most people in Ireland wanted but itโs better than watching them sneering leaving court
As the alleged killer of Ashling Murphy appears in court it seems a large cohort of the public in Ireland either do not understand or donโt care about the concept of it being sub judice
Also woeful ignorance of the legal system on display ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ
Hard to believe itโs 25 years I can remember exactly where I was when the news came out and will never forget the sound of Gardaรญ marching down the streets of limerick city

The families of the deceased brought tools of robbery to the altar
The Garda did not force the deceased to drive with their lights off or drive down the road on the wrong way
My thoughts are with the truck driver they drove into & the Garda who tried 2 stop them no one else
Itโs funnyโฆ Helen McEntee, Lisa Chambers, Lorraine Clifford Lee and Catherine Ardagh all had babies while in the Oireachtas and FF and FG PP members didnโt call them โeffin eejitsโ ๐คthatโs a SF issue & NWCI need to call out SF for their abuse of a pregnant TD
Without commenting on the specifics of the case, we know that political parties need to support women. It is critical that all parties have pro active polices and supports in place for retention of women TDs.

Garda management can order or โdirectโ rank and file gardaรญ to work overtime on the days they plan to withdraw from voluntary overtime in a row over rosters, Minister for Justice Helen McEntee has said.

We are all ready to go here at Walter Scott House for this morning's Garda Scott Medal Presentation ceremony.
11 Scott Medals will be awarded today by Commissioner Harris to members of AGS for exceptional bravery & heroism involving the risk of life in the execution of duty.
Last night 2 Gardaรญ were shot any chance we could try protecting AGS more? Tasers would be good; a fit for purpose uniform + a ballistic vest? But letโs start small any chance AGS can get vaccinated as a frontline service literally putting their lives on the line?

That list was used against Adolf Eichmann at the Nuremberg trials thankfully the Nazis were stopped before they over ran Europe. I think a visit to Auschwitz or other concentration camp should be part of a school trip certainly more important than going skiing ๐
A poignant moment as a retired member of the defence forces,who had waited patiently, walks to the roadside to salute his fallen comrade. He respectfully straightens his blue beret and green jacket before giving Private Sรฉan Rooney his salute.
