When will the Government learn that new laws are almost never the solution. Enforcing the current ones is the solution #SpeedLaws
They need to fund the Garda Traffic Corps properly, and reward them when they succeed; they need gardaí on ebikes patrolling in cities, and in visible patrol cars on country roads. And they need big publicity for basic road safety - driving, safety belts, courtesy

Maybe if the #Gardaí set their #ColdCase squad to look at women's murders in Wicklow 1920 to 1925 they might find more

Statements from #Gardai about drug #decriminalisation are always fear mongering about things that already exist under the current approach, the approach they are proactively trying to maintain and in a lot of cases only exist because of that same prohibition and criminalisation approach.

I give very little weight to their input since the whole reason its a discussion in the first place is because their way doesnt work and harms communities. A fact they really dont seem bothered about.

I certainly won't be going into Dublin if Guards with guns are going to be added to the toxic mix https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/courtandcrime/arid-41209975.html #Guns #Thugs #Gardaí #Dublin

Is the public paying for #gardai to protect atms from literally nothing, for a mistake caused by the banks who in their own words say will just take back any money erroneously withdrawn by minusing peoples accounts?

Why do #Gardaí need €10m to fund increased patrols in the city centre? A few thousand would buy 20 powerful #ebikes meaning gardaí would be fast and silent and available to talk to people #Dublin #StreetAttacks https://www.thejournal.ie/temple-bar-attack-victims-speaks-6141845-Aug2023/

The anti-social behaviour that occurs in the city centre has become so prevalent as to be entirely normalised. How much longer will the deplorable situation be tolerated?
#DublinDystopia #Gardaí #NoPoliceOnStreets

A bunch of ragey letters in The Irish Times about the lack of gardaí on the streets and the way the streets are now owned by savage gangs that attack people at random https://mastodon.ie/@slowbikeiain@urbanists.social/110756464369360230

THE LEAVING OF LIVERPOOL: ITV and Virgin Media Ireland have teamed up for 'Redemption' - a six part drama about a Liverpool cop working in Dublin following a family tragedy. But is the drama starring Paula Malcolmson, Siobhan McSweeney and Moe Dunford distinctive enough?.. https://loveitinpomona.blogspot.com/2023/04/the-leaving-of-liverpool-redemption.html #redemption #police #itv #dublin #paulamalcolmson #liverpool #virginmediaireland #crime #moedunford #gardai #SiobhanMcSweeney

I have never seen more Gardaí around Dublin Castle than I have this morning. Their vans and cars are parked on the footpaths and double yellows now, instead of the builders' cars! #garda #gardaí #Biden #WhyWouldWeEnforceTheLawConsistently

Today’s driver behaviour was a absolute worthless piece of shit on a motorbike who aggressively accelerated and revved their engine at a women who was crossing the street at a crossing with a buggy.

I see something like this daily so imagine how frequently it must happen while the Gardaí spread misinformation about high vis vests on instagram and Twitter rather than doing any actual enforcement work. #RoadSafety #Gardaí

Exactly what was the point in increasing fines for driving in bus lanes when there is no enforcement by the #Gardai

Why don't the Gardaí start recruiting in parkruns and sportives if they can't get recruits who are fit enough to pass the test? #Gardaí #Fitness

Excoriating letter to Irish Times about Irish road design, Garda enforcement of driving laws, and willing to institute proven solutions to save cyclists and pedestrians from dangerous drivers https://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/letters/2023/01/13/protecting-pedestrians-and-cyclists/ #RoadLaw #RoadDesign #Councils #Gardaí #Ireland

Today is International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers #IDEVASW

This year the Department of Justice funded I Must Be Some Person’ research highlighted that 1 in 5 street sex workers in Ireland has been sexually assaulted by Gardaí.

The 2017 Criminal Law Act has drastically affected the lives of street sex workers in urban areas.

Gardai enter a shop on Grafton Street, late one evening in October this year.

Their uniforms match the bright yellow shop colours.

Yes, I was giddy that they matched and hoped the photo would come out OK!
