Indeed, God forbid you would argue against lads working 12hr night shifts dealing with scum while you are tucked up with your blankie and water bottle.

Dispanding drugs units across the country os a massive red flag that they are forcing these through. Completely backwards

That doesnât even make sense. Two of my best mates are gardai, I have the greatest respect for their job. But they canât just decide the pandemic rosters suit them so theyâre keeping them, the pandemic is over. If they donât want to go back to the old system then go to the WRC and negotiate a new system.
The vibe Iâm getting off my Garda mates is that they donât believe Harris is negotiating in good faith and has a wider agenda here.
Itâs also in the context of morale being very low in the force and numbers dwindling when they actually need a major increase.

Yeah they very much have that view. But the associations arenât negotiating in good faith either. The obvious place to go is the WRC but they wonât go there. I have sympathy for them but they canât just unilaterally decide to keep conditions that were only there for the pandemic, no more than any other group of workers can.
What are the pandemic conditions and what is drew looking for them to change to?
Four 12 hour days followed by four days off and he wants to change them back to what they had before the pandemic.
Very unusual for @glasagusban to take the anti worker pro Government side.
Would it be anything to do with the fact that he is in love with McEntee and she canât do any wrong in his eyes?

Have your mates any idea what this is?
Theyâve guards suspended from duty for 3+ years while they âinvestigateâ them over cancelling a couple of speeding tickets.

This seems like overkill for a Garda trying to in help out an auld lad. Is there more to it?
Reads like they had it out for him in perhaps other issues and used the bike as an excuse to break his balls.

I didnât get that impression at all where did you get it
From the article:
The elderly man needed a bicycle to get to the shops, it is understood.
He spoke to the garda about this.
The officer decided to give him an unclaimed bike recovered by gardaĂ âsome time previouslyâ as no one had come forward to claim it.
âThe garda officer was suspended immediately after his home was raided by the NBCI, which was conducted in front of his wife and children.
âTommy, though noble, you really shouldnât have given that bike out, not yours to give. You might get it back off him and explainâ. This would have been the more likely approach youâd have thought instead of suspending him immediately?
Instead, NBCI raid his house- why if the bike was at the auld lads?

And thatâs why you cover your arse rather than do the right thing. Always some body or other in the public service to apply the letter of the law and ensure zero cop-on applies.
To see if any other property from the station had ended up there. A box theyâd have to tick. The common sense days of just return it there tommy are long gone Iâd imagine.
And did it?
