Greatest increase in rural crime since the foundation of the state - link to stats please?
Alan Shatter was the minister for justice who made the decision to close rural garda stations.
People who default on paying court fines are jailed - are you suggesting Mick Wallace should be above the law? Also, that law has existed since the foundation of the state. It was not introduced by any of the women you refer to.
People who are accused of offences are routinely handcuffed - are you suggesting sitting TDs should be above the law?
Also, bankers have been arrested.
It is a shame that our gardai are forced to deal with protesters who harass and intimidate people doing their job installing water meters. I agree that these gardai could be better utilised. That is an issue for the protesters though, not the gardai.
I am sure you could go on...
