    1. There seems to be a cohort of Garda who make the lives of they colleagues miserable

    2. Some people join the guards for power, and some people are just twats. This man is both.

      What ? You’re telling me a profession which encourages their employees to view the general public as suspects are assholes?

      Anyone who has read Majella Moynihan’s autobiography ‘A Guarded Life’ will know that An Garda Síochána is packed with some of the worst humans in the country. 

      There are some great people in there too but it seems to be a structurally toxic place to work, especially for women.

      I’ve wondered why pregnancy brings out a dark side of some men both at home and now evident in the workplace.

      This sort of behaviour goes on in most jobs and it’s absolutely disgusting. More needs to be done to hold bullies to account and to dismiss them from employment.

      I was recently half playing with the idea of joining the guards as I’ve no idea what else to do with my life at the moment. Not sure but I might apply and see how far I get. Hate this backwards bullying shite though

      “She submits that she was “intentionally undermined” in her role and in the fulfilment of her duties and was not provided with a phone or a computer to discuss sensitive cases at issue.”

      Definitely not the biggest issue…but This is just so weird. How can anyone in this day and age even be expected to do their desk job without a computer??

      Why are so many gardai such horrible horrible people. Every week there’s a new story.

      This what I been saying. Employers, bosses, managers are showing a distain towards those with young kids and babies and pregnant employees. They want slaves and Robots. No empathy because most of them have already reared theirs. Sick Fu**ks

      Friends with a few guards and they all say that the politics and shite between members ruins the job. One said its the pricks you work with that ruin it not the pricks you arrest

      Jesus imagine having brought it to the seniors and they basically ignore it too and dismiss it. You’d have no faith in any justice system at all if you were her.

      The biggest prick I have ever met in my life has climbed to superintendent in one of the largest Garda divisions in the country. Now I can’t get across what a cunt this fella is. He was a bully and still is from what I can see. Bumped into him a few years ago and he reverted to being back in school again, antagonising me by trying to get an hello out of me when he knew I was ignoring him. Another time I seen him and he spent his entire time laughing over at me. He knows how to climb the ladder and it would not surprise me if one day he was commissioner. That to me says everything about the Gardai that an utter cunt can climb so high.

      The Garda are a club …….if you go against the club if your’re in it or not…you’re out
