  1. >has been jailed for 18 months.

    That’s a joke. If we want people to work in front line jobs, we need to start taking protecting their safety seriously.

    You have to be murdered as a guard to get a serious sentence.

  2. 18 months for baiting the shite out of a garda but a guy got 5 years for selling insurance scams..

  3. I was going to joke that it’s Martin Nolan but no it’s actually him.

  4. 18 months doesn’t really seem like a long sentence. He’ll probably be battering the head off someone else in 18 months or less.

  5. 7 previous convictions.

    Not as if this was an isolated incident by a lad who has never been in trouble and was just going through a rough patch.

    You’d be fed up trying to make some sense out of the Irish justice system

  6. The price a garda has to pay for not having a gun to defend himself.

  7. “Judge Martin Nolan accepted that O’Toole was “very badly intoxicated” having taken cocaine and was “incredibly aggressive”.”

    Is this the excuse? They’re not even trying anymore.

  8. Let’s hope nothing happens to him while he’s behind the bars, that’d be a shame

  9. That’s hardly going to discourage someone from beating a Garda in future sadly.

  10. Do some criminal gang have something over Nolan or what’s the craic?! It’s the only thing i can think of that would make any sense

  11. They have a stick, use it, also they need training in jujutsu, it will help the Bhan Garda also.
