Are these new Guards going to have an asterix on their badges I wonder?

A friend of a friend started down in Templemore a month ago and she is now out on the frontline already.

Will there be a similar amnesty on driving licences like in the 70s I wonder.

Edit…

Wasn’t sure of the date so dug this out. You couldn’t make it up as ye say around here…

The test hit a few bumps along the way. In 1979 anywhere from 25,000 to 50,000 driving licences were given out to those who had never taken a test. There had been a lengthy postal strike and no applications could be received or posted. Not many had telephones back then (two years to get one installed), so tests could not even be arranged by phone. This led to a huge backlog. The then Environment Minister, Sylvester Barrett decided the best way to sort it out was to declare an amnesty. So a full driving licence was given to candidates who held a second provisional licence, as it was called then.

Later, it transpired that some insurance companies refused to allow them a reduced premium because they had not passed the test. Some then applied to do the test to qualify but were refused because they already held a full licence.

Our neighbour failed her driving test fourteen (14) times before successfully getting her full license using this wonderful scheme.

Did she ever have a crash afterwards?

[flattythehurdler]

She didn’t. She only ever drove to the nearest shop that I saw. Wouldn’t drive into town as she was scared. Did a steady 40mph in the Hillman hunter irrespective of whether it was the borín or the main road.

[Fagan_ODowd]

Sure what harm did giving her the licence do so.

[flattythehurdler]

I don’t get your vexation here mate? I never said it did as far as I recall, but I’ll scroll up there and check after I’ve posted this.

Battlefield commissions, they’ll comeback and finish their educations when the war is over.

About 10 days truth be told. Sometimes it’s who you know rather than the alternative.
Capping the maneavour off was the fact I wasn’t in his constituency. Albert was 100%.

Sorry I thought Leitrim and Longford were more or less the same.

It’s a great show.

It’s made a easier viewing that sergeant selina and Rebekah

[Julio_Geordio]

Are they going to get rid of all the fat bastards?

Surely more to this?

Frontline Garda faces sack after 10 year service after failing ‘bleep...

What a fucking name by the way “Local businessman Fionn MacCumhaill, who represents the Dublin North City Business Association”

[TreatyStones]

Something not adding up there.

I’d also like to know what level a guard has to get to on a bleep test?

Very hard on the woman in question to be named and shamed like this. Also there have been fat Garda for decades and the first one to be sacked is a woman?

[Thomas_Brady]

Named and photos of her! … She’s been up to no good and not just in the kitchen.

[TreatyStones]

Do they have to waddle the bleep test with their hands tucked into the pockets of their tactical vest?

[Julio_Geordio]

I presume she is the one publicising it
