Old Farty Murphy is investigating how this story got into the hands of the public. http://www.examiner.ie/ireland/cork-td-apologises-for-threath-to-garda-131320.html I would have thought the investigation would be about how Sheehan was not arrested for drunk driving like the rest of us would,rather than how the story got out!!.Looks like the biggest crooks in this country protect and serve..each other.

The trouble with the justice system and laws nowadays is that criminals know their rights better than their wrongs and the more corrupt the City/Police force the more laws. And, even with the introduction of the new Bill last year and the big hullabaloo about human rights etc, the Gardai haven't acted on it in Limerick yet. Why? because they are chickens when it comes to standing up real criminals and, corn can't expect justice from a court composed of chickens!

That is simply not correct. Resources still have to be allocated and priorities set. Somebody at management level decided it would be a bettter use of this man's time to be walking the streets raiding pubs than to be fighting serious crime.

Ah lads, you are all missing the point here. There is no doubt that the Garda management are a shower of muppets but they are only enforcing the laws that our legislators have in place. Its the same argument about the Gardai in leather suits who hide under the bridge at the montrose and get people driving over the ridiculous speed limit that is there. The law is made by the family operated political system that we have here and the Gardai enforce it….simple really.
If as N0.8 points out McDowell had got his cafe law passed then the Inspector would have had to find something else to do on the night in question. If the speed limit was raised under the bridge the leather corps would be back washing their bikes or drinking in a cafe somewhere….

This country is broke. The "democracy" we have here is a family business and the law is an ass. I pity the poor bastards who have to enforce that law and deflect the criticism from the imbeciles we elect time and time again. Junta? Bring it on.

If a politician like Brian Lenihan can appear on the Teevee and tell a " joke " about asking a Garda if he wanted a posting to an island, and the audience roars with laughter, and re-elects the politician, then the people get exactly the police force they deserve.
