Manhandlers and Nixers..

The Garda Ombudsman have confirmed that they will be conducting an  investigation  after the death of John Nevin, Templemore, who died whilst in custody on Saturday. They confirmed that Mr. Nevin was taken into custody and later became unwell and was taken to Nenagh Hospital where he was pronounced dead. The cause of death is yet to be released. A post mortem is to be conducted at Limerick Regional Hospital.

His family have expressed concern surrounding the circumstances of this death and said they 'will not rest until the full truth is revealed'

Apparently Mr. Nevin suffered from mental illness and had been hospitalised on a number of occasions in relation to same. His family called the Gardai after he became agitated on Saturday. His family wanted him taken to hospital. What arrived was a 'special team' from LIMERICK allegedly armed with stun guns, and 'manhandled' Mr. Nevin into a squad car. It is alleged that Mr. Nevin received an injury to his forehead before he was taken away by the Gardai.

This is the second incident of a death in Garda custody in recent days. The Garda Ombudsman are also investigating the death of a man whilst in custody in Tallaght Garda station last week.

Seems a bit excessive if not extreme to send a special team ALL THE WAY from Limerick. Sure isn't Templemore 'the home of the Gardai' like!?!?

The Templemore mentality eh :) they believe that they are a breed apart from the rest of society and subject to different modes of behaviour from the rest of us.

No wonder people are loosing confidence in the force!


THEN we have Garda John Dope who wants/has a job as a bouncer  on Saturdays......

A motion that is to be put forward at the Annual Conference  Annual Conference  starting this evening in Limerick, states that the Gardai should be allowed to work as barmen and security guards when they are off duty. The GRA say that a vast majority of rank and file members are experiencing 'serious financial difficulties'. Delegates will also be demanding reversal of pay cuts and pension levies. Well crikey, we wouldn't want them pawning off their  uniforms   to any ole criminal gang now would we :)
