@whatyadoin4grub Sausage rolls and a flat white! What happened to a ham sandwich and a mug of tea. Notions thats what 😜

Last week a was taken video of @metpoliceuk Constables kicking a suspect in the head. He had just allegedly stabbed two people and was still armed, some people commented it was excessive force. To give you an idea of how dangerous a knife is watch this youtu.be/t69XMB-PINM?si…

At the GRA Conference where two urgent motions seeking an independent appeals process for suspensions and a fully public enquiry after the travesty of the prosecutions of members. A very powerful statement by one of the Limerick reps. #GRARep #ADC2026

@PatrickDT1888 @maggiemoo83 No, I didnt, but thanks for seeking clarification 👍

@gsr265 @maggiemoo83 You mean patriots fighting for their childrens future Kenny?

Empty shelves everywhere in the local supermarket this evening. Like Covid/Beast from the East part 2😅 #FuelProtest

@CopMoustache @Northern_Bobby @tphilli94830797 Same, worked with a lad before we joined together he's now a Cig (Insp) in AGS. Unless we are out socialising, its Cig (our version of gov) in work, even if alone, same for any Cig or higher, they have the rank and whether I respect them or not I will respect the rank they hold.

@Northern_Bobby @tphilli94830797 When I was teaching new recruits they were always told it’s Sir / Ma’am even in emails I have a few friends who went through the ranks including DCC, if we’re alone it was first names, anyone else present and it was Sir / Ma’am

Anyone following who has recently joined the job? Were you taught anything on rank and understanding of lawful orders? Phone call with a new officer earlier regarding an incident. Called me 'mate' 3 times and then said "No, I think that's your job"

Still not a price to get excited over but has dropped from 2.129 two days ago, let's hope it can continue going that direction 🤞

@Ti27828Titus @whatyadoin4grub What are the multiple other ways you'd suggest, genuinely interested?

@whatyadoin4grub Again I must ask, what exactly have they done? I'm just not seeing it. Their go to work to rule is always "don't do overtime". Taking money out of the pockets of members who may badly need it. There are multiple other ways to achieve the goal without that

@DavidMarra 2.25 per litre!? Its mad the price differences around, i got it for 207.9 yesterday, and 1.85 the week before

As if the 51% income tax I’m paying wasn’t enough, I’ve just given the bastards another €92. The Irish government has essentially no redeeming qualities

@DavidMarra Gone up 42c in the last month, and they'll make up the 10.64c on the vat end when it goes up again!

They must be joking. Fuel up by €0.40/litre and they’re reducing tax by €0.10? This is a joke. Barely makes up for the extra VAT on recent hikes. Govt are giving up nothing here.

@Independent_ie So 10.64c, great that'll really help given it has gone up 42c in the last month

Government to slash excise duty by up to a quarter in bid to ease worst fuel crisis in living memory buff.ly/UwocuoJ

@psychpolis @mickthehack I wonder were they gone in all but name for a while and this was just paperwork

@mickthehack 5 reserve resignations from the same division

Nine retirements and eight resignations in the latest Garda bulletin. Also, a chiefs’ list is doing the rounds. That’s the circle of life, I suppose!

@Microbedoc2 UK GDPR law is likely different to here in Ireland, over here I had an MRI, private no public service. While in waiting room after I got email with link to my online account with them (set up in advance and confirmed on day) They text me a code and I could see the full scan then

Adam, you are asking the NHS to send medical records which means they are protected under UK GDPR, which is a legal framework regarding personal data that there is no way you are not familiar with as a teacher. They can't just "send it now" because the information needs to be

@patsyflynn GO power station in limerick on Lock Quay, was always a good price, in last two weeks has gone from 169.9 to 189.9! Not price gouging ya.... @GoPower_Energy

Certa Tulla Road Ennis now 187.9 for diesel. It was 173.9 yesterday. So the crisis in Middle East won’t affect fuel prices here Taoiseach? rte.ie/news/business/…

@patsyflynn It was 1.68 last week, i was heading there after work and saw that, got it at captains macs for 1.71, still mad

@limerickwhiskey It was once seen as too simple and system and that we had to move to more intelligent methods. Amazing how the wheel turns and we come back to what works

There is a new Garda presence on the streets of Limerick. It is a "new idea", high visibility policing. If only someone had come up with this welcome idea before...

@limerickwhiskey @BustToBoom @pwalshnow Hovercraft so they can just cut straight across the estuary

@BustToBoom @pwalshnow 1 hour to adare??? By helicopter maybe

€49k to stay in Oranmore for the Ryder Cup. ✅

But if anything goes wrong, even if the Garda isnt at fault, they are still the one before the court, risking loss of their own licence, their job and possibly their liberty. The public expects us to chase criminals, but we have no physical or legal protection do to so

@MFerris11 To be fair it's the Dept not writing the law is the deal on the drug testing, there is nothing stopping AGS fully vetting people before they join

Valid and very important points raised by @PCSA_Irl but we still have cases of Garda recruits entering Templemore and even starting on duty in stations before even basic vetting is complete. Let’s get the basics right first. Concerns raised over absence of drug testing for gardaí rte.ie/news/ireland/2… via @rte

@cummins_alan God help your washing machine

One of those nights. Head to toe in mud and manure. Poor Thor wasn’t much better. Good crack all the same
