  1. I’m sure the retired Guards would love to go back to work, under the same shite conditions, to deal with violent crime and antisocial behaviour

    How about the garda clean up the dirt bags who work there first. Then maybe when that’s done people might start working a bit more with the garda. Then give more training on how to actually deal with people.

    And instead of bringing back pensioned garda, maybe improve the salary for new garda and we might entice some decent candidates

  3. Pay me and I too will stand around dundrum.

    Bringing lads out of retirement won’t make them motivated 🤣

  4. What a stupid idea, like you can just force people into a job. They retired for a reason. Ffs, who pays people to write this shit.

    If only there was some sort of fungible asset that they could give guards, in exchange for their work. Some kind of token that would make it worth peoples time to do the job.

    But this isn’t possible, it’s beyond a simple country like this.

  6. Until the justice system is totally reformed and there is consequences for the little scumbags around Ireland no matter how many Guards are on the street it wont matter.

    Young Offenders should be sent to the Curragh and have mandatory Army service for extended periods of time to start with

  7. Things need to be improved, but I would say the word “catastrophic” is a bit of a stretch.
