GARDAÍ ARE APPEALING for witnesses after shots were fired at a garda van in Darndale, north Dublin this week.
A garda van with two uniformed members was on patrol in the Buttercup Park area of Darndale on Thursday night at around 11.20pm when it was involved in an incident with a suspect car.
Gardaí said a loud noise was heard before the car took off across a nearby field in the direction of the Malahide road.
“The patrol van was later inspected and two indentations consistent with gunfire were discovered on the driver’s door. No one was injured and both garda members involved remained on duty.”
The van has since been taken for technical and forensic examination.
Frank Thornton, vice president of the Garda Representative Association said attacks such as this one are becoming too regular.
He said this “cowardly attack” is a stark reminder of the unpredictability of frontline policing faced by rank-and-file gardaí every day of the year.
“Thankfully the members involved were able to go home to their families, but incidents like these, which are becoming too regular, are sobering,” he said.
“Again the Garda Representative Association calls for mandatory minimum prison sentences for assaults and attacks on our members.”
Investigating gardaí are appealing for witnesses to contact the incident room at Coolock garda station on 01 6664200 or the Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 111.

It’s not that confusing. Just think that some of its a little long winded and old fashioned.
We’re talking about Americans here. They will find it confusing.
Long winded but it makes sense, members of the party choose their nominee
Fianna Fail HQ take note!! Party members/supporters electing candidates at grass roots level…this may seem alien to you but worth noting
Big talk Paul. Like we’re any better.

This time next year… Hashtag #HandedIt2TheTrump
Actually national polling of likely voters has bernie beating trump by 13%. The only challange to bernie is Clinton. #walkinthepark
Hillary or Sanders, it’s going to be no walk in the park against Trump. Too early for GOP vs Dem polls to be reliable. It will be one of the nastiest campaigns in memory, courtesy of Trump.
Polls are irrelevant… They assume a two party race where the GOP has yet to launch any counter campaign against Bernie.
If the GOP pick another candidate, The Trump will likely run independently. If it’s Bernie vs. Trump Bloomberg will run independently.
In a 4 way race.
Bloomberg
Trump
Bernie
Another GOP candidate.
It’s anybody’s game. But I’d put the beloved leftie Bernie Sanders last.
Agreed. Trump will hammer home the tag of ‘socialist’ against Sanders. Like it or not that remains a dirty word for many Americans – and not just the GOP faithful. Bloomberg’s effect will be interesting if he runs.
The word that Trump will use though is Communist. There’s a good 40% of Americans that will never vote for a socialist
And evwn more of them don’t seem to know what a socialist or a communist is in the first place!!
-90% tax on the richest (ie the richest move all money to the Cayman Islands)
-Follow the national model of Sweden, a country that won’t be considered developed in twenty years
-Pay the university bills of all citizens in a country with a massive population where college is extortionately expensive
-Moronic ‘wage gap’ legislation
-All of this at a time when the US is in trillions of debt and the stock market is permanently teetering
I like a lot of what Sanders professes, I don’t think he’s a bad person, but I don’t think much of it is realistic or viable, particularly given the situation economically. Much as I’d like to take money from people that screwed the workers over, you have to be careful in how you do it. If they get spooked, they’ll hide all their money so well you’ll never see a penny.

“In 1988, high school senior Ted Cruz reflected on his life’s ambitions while attending Second Baptist School in Houston, TX. Now, he is a Republican Senator running for the office of the President of the United States of America.”
Like Pinky and the Brain? lol.
Bernie Saunders is a mystery to me. A died in the wool socialist getting within an asses roared of the White House. George soros, the insidious globalist one worlder and hater of western civilisation has a hand in this I’ve no doubt. There’s strings being pulled here that have one aim. The destruction of western civilisation by flooding all successful, western functional countries with migrants from dysfunctional, third world countries with a handy dose of oppositional culture and religion thrown into the mix to ensure societal breakdown. Add to this the left’s propensity to muzzle dissent by screeching racism at every turn has cowed the citizenry , we are like deer in the headlights in the face of this invasion and the unwillingness of our elected leaders and media do call it like it is. Angela Merkyl, Bernie Saunders are tools of this agenda. This compliance in our own destruction makes no sense.
I hear it’s termed “white guilt” …a terrible affliction.
What about those registered as independents
I can tell you what happens in Oklahoma. Independents have no say in the primaries. You have to either be a registered democrat or Republican.
“Donald Trump is a carnival man,an entertainer, a buffoon.
His fans are white,scared and angry. He will never be elected,not so long as minorities,liberals and educated people vote,but he has certainly exposed the ugly underbelly of conservatives in America today.” -Stephen King
They haven’t got the majority of women voting for them either -and as long as they keep on attacking Roe v Wade ( even though the majority 70% want it to stay ) and Planned Parenthood -then they will continue in the wilderness …
Have a nice day folks..
It’s a simple and democratic process; you move an ass until it is in the correct position, and tickle it’s testicles with a turkey feather until it kicks out at the sheet of paper with the X made by your favored candidate, just as the forefathers foresaw it.
Thanks for the insight into foreign electoral processes, I’m still getting my head around the order in which to vote for my chosen candidates in wicklow to really care though!
“How do Republicans do it? ” In the dark and using Foxy Noise, sorry that should be Fox News lol.
“Eeny, meeny, miny, moe”, is another way to explain it lol.
have your say
