    There’s more than just paramilitaries causing trouble in the boarder areas. I live in Dundalk and have had constant trouble with a group of young teenagers who last night decided to wait for me to open my door so they could stab a screwdriver at my face. Luckily I got out of the way but considering there’s only one squad car operating for the whole Dundalk-Blackrock-Dromiskin-Carlongford area how am I meant to feel safe in my home?

    Have you considered the fact that the checkpoints could have been taking away from the Garda presence in the station, thus meaning there was only one squad car to deal with issues? And the fact that we were told that there was only one squad car by the Gardai themselves, unless they were lying to us, which is highly possible.

    @ tom Kenny. You will go far in f.g your not very bright but you think you are smarter than everbody else. The checkpoints would be planned operations targeting vehicles for tax etc. so when you ring to report and assault theft etc. there are no vehicles or gardai available, if you are still struggling with this let us know.

    The announcement of 600 new Gardai in the budget was just another lie by the government trying to trick Irish voters into thinking that they’re serious about addressing the crimewave across the country and the serious lack of manpower and resources in our police force coming up to election time – 500 of those “extra” Gardai were announced already earlier in 2015 but that’s just par for the course for this governments. Theres a new announcement then today of a big operation aimed at tackling the gangs roaming the country burgling houses – but any resources being thrown at that are just being taken from regular units and other day to day services. Its just moving the deckchairs again – one of FG/Labour’s favourite tactics. Will people ever call them on this sort of $hit?

    If we wish to have a modern functioning democratic society we must be prepared to invest in our police force. Pay them a good wage to reflect the risks they take on our behalf, give them the resources they require to do their job properly and hold them accountable. At the minute the Garda have loads of accountability but poor pay and no resources. A poorly paid or demoralised police force is open to corruption & disinterest.

    The fact is the government took the decision to close rural Garda stations, all to save a paltry 500,000 euro. BS. The government made the decision to Criminalise the ordinary people’s protest movement. The stations were closed to supply the numbers of Gardai needed to do the policing. Towns, cities, and housing estates all over are seeing droves of Gardai in numbers never seen before. But they are not there to protect the people from rampaging criminals.
    This FG/Lab government took the decision to allow criminal gangs to rob and plunder the rural areas of Ireland by withdrawing Gardai to police ordinary people, who are in no way criminal at all.
    Now we are seeing figures and statisics being produced to try and deflect away from the real reason rural areas are becoming lawless. People would want to open their eyes.

    The problem in border areas is that back in the day when the IRA was still active, they were the only effective police force. Often when people went to the gardai to report crimes and anti social behaviour, the gardai subtely pointed them in the direction of the IRA. In a lot of areas it would be a waste of time contacting the gardai you would just go straight to the IRA to get stolen items retrieved etc.
    since the IRA ceasefire the usual schum that exist everywhere have taken control and as in every other part of the country the gardai and courts are unable or unwilling to deal with them appropriately

    Then divide than by 5 units and its less than 1,000 gardas patrolling at one time. THAT IS A DISGRACE.

    I suppose if you look a it, we are probably the only country in the world where we have no other aids to law enforcement. eg in England they have MI5, MI6. Terrorist units. Transport Police, Immigriation Police etc. In Italy they have Financial Polizia, the Carabinari, Polizia Municipal etc.
    In Ireland the Gardaí do everything, so any country in the world they compare Garda no with is not a far comparison.

    More Prisons Please
    The legal lobby don’t want more prisons as their customers are repeat offenders. Somebody with numerous convictions can potentially make solicitors, Junior council and Senior Council a huge amount of money. They also make money from the damage caused in insurance claims. Of course the judges and their families are all involved in the business so the status quo is maintained. It’s a huge business and if offenders were imprisoned it would seriously effect their business. People’ lives are put in danger to allow criminals continue to prosper and the legal profession to thrive. The moral in the Gardai is shot to pieces with repeat offenders constantly getting off cries. Shame on our government.
