Life style says - relax, wallet says keep working. Interest in cars, computers, politics & society. 34 years AGS

@DodgerOfDublin @GardaTraffic Can see your point but some folks driving for over twenty years on a Provisional D/L (as it was known back in the day). A nudge to go and sit the test maybe?

[Laytown56 @Laytown56]

@TrixieDev @gardainfo Look to me to be Skoda - Octavia estates possibly

[Laytown56 @Laytown56]

@NeilGerardFox @antoabs @SimonHarrisTD @gardainfo If / when the woman with phone directly in front of Taoiseach falls backwards, will GSOC be involved? Is there a specific instruction not to touch these demonstrators - can't conceive of another western country where such demonstrators allowed to get so dangerously close

[Laytown56 @Laytown56]

@BrendanB27 @gardainfo Big question is; will AGS be allowed to use for prosecution or will it just be allowed to rebut allegations against members?

[Laytown56 @Laytown56]

@GRA_NR Heck man - it's vitally important to keep the administration staff numbers up - otherwise how would they know when to cut front line staff? 🤣

[Laytown56 @Laytown56]

@mickgillivan I don't know you Mick but 36 + years of public service is no mean achievement - well done and good luck on your retirement. 👍🏽

[Laytown56 @Laytown56]

@rtenews No biggie, regular always did spot C.P. s, at least when they had time away from the computers 😏

[Laytown56 @Laytown56]

@dohville Good to know our tax 'dollars' are being well spent - also passport back for the holibobs 👍🏽

[Laytown56 @Laytown56]

@GardaTraffic I know I shouldn't be, but I'm puzzled as to how/why these individuals think they can get away with this totally anti-social carry on. Well done by the way 👍🏽

[Laytown56 @Laytown56]

@little_pengelly Great to see you guys down here - hope you enjoyed the match and the city.

[Laytown56 @Laytown56]

@PadraigBelton On the other hand, walked to Tara Street after match, waited patiently for No. 145 to go to Heuston station, two buses swept past bus stop despite my energetic attempts to get them to stop (designated stop). Long walk to Heuston from Aviva. Thanks @Dublinbus

[Laytown56 @Laytown56]

@GRA_NR Yeah, right 🤣

[Laytown56 @Laytown56]

@ahsureitsfine @GRA_NR 🤣

[Laytown56 @Laytown56]

@BrendanB27 @CllrPioSmith @OireachtasNews @GardaOmbudsman @gardainfo Yes, you can draw your ASP, but using it is fraught with danger; criminal prosecution,
disciplinary proceedings or civil claim. Threshold for recommending prosecutions seems to be quite low with GSOC, & threshold for agreement seems equally low with DPP.

[Laytown56 @Laytown56]

@BrendanB27 @gardainfo Agreed that it's good to see such a visible deterrent on the streets. Now we just need the courts to do their bit, followed by Probation service and Prison system. As things currently stand, going into court (and leaving it) is all s big laugh 🙄

[Laytown56 @Laytown56]

@McCoolAisling @brendan1oc Makes perfect sense - individual issue used to be the case. However, use of such PPE is thought to be confrontational to the poor little dears who are acting aggressively and trying to hurt members so probably wouldn't be allowed 🙄

[Laytown56 @Laytown56]

@MartinPD73 @BeattieDoug I'd say that they (AGS) will rightly stay away from such detail - issues of a fair trial could be used otherwise - be soul destroying to see a case thrown out over such an issue.

[Laytown56 @Laytown56]

@gardainfo Interesting. Kinda wondering where that unquantifiable resource called 'Local Knowledge' fits into this Regional CAD? Can't expect dispatchers to know every nook and cranny of their region or the criminal fraternity 🤔

[Laytown56 @Laytown56]

@1Bde_Official @df_recruitment @DF_Sgt_Major @DF_DCOS_SP @MTU_ie Demoted for doing nothing 😁. As long as they pay him for three pips and not two 👍🏽

[Laytown56 @Laytown56]

@talktoBOI Thanks Lisa, I'm about to log in now. Have a good one.
