Sorry let me grasp this...

OP you want a nice straight 'highway' bypassing Donabate village to Portrane?

What exactly is there in Portrane, other than a few housing estates... that would justify such a spend?

Seriously?!

Stopping crimes from occurring in the first place is also a major part of their role but this is not happening to the extent it should be happening... Pretty Good capture by Gardai who are only there 00.1% of the time?? Taking Report and investigating yes they are different to a proactive force. I ...

Why is this thread entitled Undercover Garda/Special Branch? Increased from what? Zero? hmmm You are unaware of the crime stats, Gardai are in the village 3-4 times every day... taking reports of crime, making enquiries and responding to calls. I see them all the time. Plenty of unmarked cars too.

I emailed days ago and got no reply?

You haven't answered any of my valid questions or others' other than saying don't worry 'CCTV is our speciality' like some kind of tacky salesman.

...I have no problem having a camera following me down Main Street Donabate. All I do is buy groceries! What if you witnessed a crime on the main street? Say a bad assault happened right in front of you coming out of the grocery store? Would you be okay about being identified by locals/Gardai as a ...

There are no restrictions in a public place - people can take out a camera and film anything... thats not the issue here. Identifying someone from footage is great, and perhaps you think thats it done and dusted but thats only the tip of the iceberg, the start of a long road of bringing someone to c...

Im all for this! .... but just wondering have you talked with a legal person or Gardai about the legality of having a website where you show - 'crime' and the 'alleged' criminals. In this country they are innocent until proven guilty, there are also massive disclosure issues? A lot of cases don't ma...

Yes i know a few people who were burgled - guards caught em and got all their stuff back and they got jail. Doesn't happen enough. Sophia Housing or Hazelgrove as its also known as is directly across from the Donabate Community Centre on the road out to Portrane (on the right hand side) looks like a...

...No point in reporting to guards. There is every reason to report it, you can't moan about crime and then say they're no point in calling cops. When people report stuff the Gardai work a lot better!! When people dont report things - Guards will drive around aimlessly - they need tip offs, suspici...

Newflash guys - most 'junkies' etc get there methadone in any normal pharmacy/chemist Boots/McCabes/Hickey etc... A junkie is an extreme and noticeable example - a heroin user, most addicts don't catch peoples attention and are quite cleancut, respectable etc and you wouldn't think they are getting ...

Garda are in the village everyday, whats new?

Although lots of houses broken into off portrane rd recently...

Oh believe me i enjoooy it! P the L!

Jokes...
Take a chill pill, you atheists are all so serious!

According to science - alcohol is a solution...

All have sinned... i know i have.

There is also a difference between sin and evil.

Fix - Pave - Improve that eyesore of what people call the 'carpark' at the side of Smyths. Serve some decent food and have a coffee bar and cater for those commuting - waiting on trains etc... and it would be a goldmine! It ain't rocket science

2 good quality mountain bikes stolen from a house in Somerton in the early hours of the morning! two scumbags seen cycling off. Any info to Swords/Santry Gardai...

Wow, are you still here? Take out your 'humanistic worldview' ear plugs and 'hear' creation alone screaming that there is a God. From every sunrise to sunset. From the perfect tilt of the earth to sustain life, to every unique person on this planet. Yes I think being gay is a sin in God's eyes. Its ...

I well believe the bible has stood the test of time... and is able to withstand any onslaught of criticism. I know a few who set out to try and disprove it ended up believing it when they actually dig beyond the surface and read it with an open mind and in context. I believe it still is and will con...

Not at anyone in particular but 'Religion' is not the cause of all war in the world look at this.... http://carm.org/religion-cause-war#footnote3_fq6jkiz I don't think anyone said it is cause of "all" wars. They said that people do terrible things in the name of religion. People don't do ...

Yes that makes a lot of sense. What's your take on homosexuality? Its foolishness to the logical thinker - because he's outside of that. With faith I find stuff written 2000+ years ago 'new' every morning. Relationship not Religion Yes that makes a lot of sense. What's your take on homosexuality? D...

Relationship not Religion

Unreal, it may be worth it for the owner to have a mooch around the Balbriggan Sunday Market - a lot of stolen tools there...

I know for a fact the guards are down here every day of the week, with the trouble that comes with state care homes, burglaries and general calls etc... Granted there is no Garda Station or permanent Garda presence, they fly in deal with a call and fly back out again - but its generally the same eve...

There's a 'halfway' house/transitional housing project for certain types on the portrane road...

I did notice what appeared to be a film crew/vans with tv/film gear around donabate village in the summer...
