Won’t change the number of RATS in the service, which is 100%!!!!
Badly, badly needed. You can’t have a sizeable minority group who feel completely unrepresented by the enforcers of the law.
Violent crime through the roof, courts booked solid for three years ahead, gangs of tracksuit-clad youths roaming openly through Dublin attacking citizens without consequences, professional burglary gangs being allowed escape arrest by driving on the wrong side of the road, gardaí robbing people in their homes, urban decay everywhere you look, crime and drug use rampant on the transport network, Supreme Court justices unable to be sacked and High Court judges giving suspended sentences to paedophiles, skangers firing explosives at women’s faces, and machete-wielding gangs on the streets.
And _this_ is what the Minister for Justice has spent her eleven months in charge thinking is a priority?
They may speak breathlessly of little else in the Piglet, or at the dinner parties of Ashbourne, but fuck me raw, if this is their grand plan for crime, justice, law and order, then Fine Gael may look at their 20% in the polls last week with warm nostalgia.
And raise the standard
Do travellers trust the gardai? I imagine one of their own joining the force would be disowned
> The decision to change the language requirements for recruits was approved at the Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, though it went unannounced. Until now those joining the Garda had to be proficient in two languages, one of which had to be Irish or English. However, under the new changes proficiency in only one language will be required.
> The Department of Justice said the change would “remove any potential disadvantage for people not born in Ireland who do not have any experience with the Irish language”. It added the requirement to speak two languages was acting “as a barrier to more diverse recruitment”.
If foreign born recruits are proficient in English, then surely they would be proficient in their native language and that gets them the 2 required? I don’t see how the Irish option was a barrier at all?
I’m still waiting for robogarda. It looked promising when they showed the prototype on the Republic of Telly.

Excuse my ignorance but when did we start referring to black Irish people as African-Irish? Or is this recruitment aimed very specifically at say first generation Irish of African descent?
If they weren’t such pansies that do fuck all to stop real crime more people would be joining.
“African-Irish”? Can we please not do the American thing of trying to make them seem foreign?
A traveller would make a more genuine Garda than the current idiots knocking about their ranks.
Anyone remember the black Garda in Hardy Bucks? Kofi I think his name was. Anyway that’s what this made me think of
Encouraging travellers to get jobs. It’s so crazy it just might work.
I work in Garda administration and I’m the only Irish person in my office. Though, bizarrely we are the only office in the division with any foreigners as far as I know.
That’d be a civil matter now, boss.
I don’t think this going to work out how the gardai ‘think’ it’s going to work.
Sounds like they are going after insider knowledge, but that’s a two way street
Or they just should recruit a black traveller.
Any traveler that joins the guards likely won’t be a traveler anymore.
People don’t seem to realize how easy it is to get disowned.
thank you @r/ireland for reminding me consistently that it’s worth avoiding threads in this sub that mention travellers at all, so as to save myself from the frustration on the fact that the majority of Irish people don’t think that they’re racists, yet are perfectly okay with not questioning their own assumptions, ignorance and racism on Irish Travellers.
I’d recommend watching the Anne Marie Quilligan episode on the Two Norries podcast and see if that can educate & shake up that commitment to racism against travellers.
Adding Travellers to the mix is to make it sound like its about hiring minorities.
They likely want foreigners to do the dirty work Irish people would have moral issues with just like with the RIC.
What private security company is going to supply these people?
