The State Police When Louis XIV made the statement "L’etat c’est moi" (I am the state) he diminished himself because whatever way you think about it the state is a smaller and less important thing than any one of its individual citizens. Perhaps no-one wants to be a collaborator or conspirator - almost certainly nobody want to be seen as a collaborator or conspirator. And I think that those who cosy up to the police are courting trouble further down the road not only for themselves but for the police as well. |

Jump To Comment: 1I too have received the leaflet Sean Friday and was amazed at what I read. Well according to the media the Mad Mullagh is putting pressure on the man from Blackstaff and this is the response. Full of promises but no word of delivery. We would need Dr Paisley and the DUP in Dail Eireann to sort out a response to policing which is faced with many forms and levels of social order problem the length and breadth of the Republic of Ireland.
I agree with your points without rebuilding the cartwheel Sean as it looks like fear is tearing at the cosy apple carts of Irish police especially with the election on May 17th and serious crimes becoming a daily encounter. However I wonder how the Gardai plan to deliver their objectives or window dressing for the good of all the populous in the hope of solving and/or reducing crime levels to a more socially acceptable level to the satisfaction of the populous.
A lot of flower words have been used by the leaflet but for me and many others this falls well short of restoring full confidence in the Gardai in general. It is delivery we want but unfortunately this looks a long way off and maybe we in the Republic will learn something from the work of Mr Gerry Adams and Very Rev Dr Paisley.
For me in the main this leaflet is just window dressing for the election as The Civic Guards or Garda need much more cash for both human and material resources coupled with better government policies to address this escalating crime situation which is diminishing the publics confidence in the police force in the Republic. Deliver Messrers Michael & Noel and for fecks sake quit tinkering with the crime problems not forgetting to tackle the causes of such criminality that now at this stage. As the Marxist argue tackle the cause not the symptom and then we will have a better state with a form of utopian socialism. as many of our Irish Patriots yearned for.
