In fairness the guards are under resourced but that is only one of the issues. The judicial system is even worse. Suspended sentances, early release and bail conditions not being enforced. Im sure the guards are sick of picking the same scrotes up for the same crimes, doing a pile of paperwork for the dpp only to have the cunts back out. Rinse and repeat

Now sheās had two spells on maternity leave, in fairness. And a lot of the issues are legacy issues. But sheās the minister. Sheās in charge.
Who?
I was actually coming on here to ask this though. Why does she seem to be personally getting the blame every time someone gets a box outside a chipper? Donāt seem to remember this happening other ministers for justice. Is there some specific policy she is or isnāt enacting thats to blame?

I want to say it but Iām not bothered dealing with the replies 
Two of the previous three ministers of justice resigned from office following issues so itās common enough for them to fall on their sword.
They didnāt resign because of the decline of law and order under their watch. In reality both were sacked for unethical behaviour.

Do you think sheās doing a good job?
When has any Irish politician ever resigned for being shit?
That is a very fair point. Iād have Donnelly resigned about a dozen times at this stage
That doesnāt really answer my question though. Ministers are always unpopular. Why is she being called on to resign every time someone is attacked in Dublin? Thereās been fellas attacked in Dublin every weekend for the last 50 years Iād say. Has she cut gardai from the city or what?

Because thereās a whole cohort of terminally angry, reactionary, insecure men online and they hate women, especially pleasant looking women who have children.
Though theyāre also the people who subscribe to the āFauci, Holohan, Soros, Klaus Schwab are evil supervillainsā brain rot.
In short: Helen McEntee is a lightning rod for the nutty squad.

It must be something to do with that and the hate speech thing. The through the looking glass nature of it all though is now we have lefties feeling they have to defend a FG justice minister as the enemy are against her.
Whoever said the far right are chaos agents was fairly spot on.

Sheās been an excellent Minister.
Yes.
The long and short of it is if you have the QEwans and Gary Dempseys after you, youāre probably alright(ish).
One of the unfortunate by products of the modern information environment is a certain cohort of people now like to get their information from headbangers shouting into the camera of their phone while sitting in the dark in a parked car in a supermarket car park.
Iāve commented here a couple times over the years that I think sheās been a very good minister. Sheās been very active and introduced a lot of new initiatives in a short space of time in a department that is notoriously resistant to change. The problems in Dublin are - in my opinion - the making of years of neglect of government, mainly outside of her department (health, housing, welfare). And the problems with the gardai go back to long long before her tenure and canāt be solved overnight.
