So what if the Gardai do go on strike? Will a crime wave break out? I’ve always pictured Ireland as pretty peaceful.
 
Agreed Didymus. Irish police don’t even carry guns.
Tempest in a teapot.
 
If anyone reads the links provided, they will see that if they do strike, all calls to the gardai will be responded to. It is not like like criminals have been waiting to go on a crime spree when the gardai go on strike. So, there is nothing **alarming **about to happen in The Kingdom, except in the minds of some people.

Compared with over there yes but we have had a spate of gang wars in dublin etc… Living here yiu see what really goes on.

In rural areas we have a crime wave on isolated houses that is growing and worrying. There have been deaths.

By the way pianistclare and irishmonm I had to add you to ignore a long while ago as every post you sent inr eply to mine re Ireland had such a hostile reception from you and contained little accuracy re the country, I am in the midst of being evicted and a little fragile so it really seems best to block your posts,

You need to live full time here for decades to know Ireland, and while I Love the country it is not Shangri La by any means, One of my closed friends here is Irish and she says, “Oh yes, Ireland is beautful bUT OH THE PEOPLE!” and she raises her eyes to heaven,

I am loved here and work here but have no illusions… Many irish say re the Gardai that they are as much use as a chocolate fireguard, but as we progress and get more armed units trained, it improves. Crime is getting more modern sadly.

More gun hauls and drug busts.

because of some work I do I know many of the Gardai personally but cannot support this action. It lays too many vulnerable folk open to abuse, especially in deep rural areas and the druggie areas in cities,

Peace is relative always and I have seen some hard things here believe me. But always still better than the US and may the Good Lord help us to maintain that,

Thsi action will destroy public respect for the Gardai

My husband’s family has lived there since the time of the Druids. We have a home and farm there.
He’s the one objecting.
And if I’m on ignore, how are you even reading?
Last time I checked, anyone can post on any thread…:rolleyes:

My replies are based on your absolute disregard for the feelings of people who are actually Irish, not transplants.

My dear. Many Gardai now do carry guns, batons, tasers and need them . After being assaulted three times in the course of my charity work, I of all people know this, Bless your innocence. and please pray for us here tomorrow? Thank you my dear!
