Will the army get the Garda Bikes if they have to take over from a striking police force?
It looks like it might be a job for the army! The GRA (Garda Representatives Association) have announced that they will be balloting members about possible industrial action. This comes despite the fact that Gardai are prevented from striking by law.
Some may fear anarchy, but we can rest assured that the army will be called in. My only question… Will the Garda bikes be used by the army?
Seriously though, are we really going to end up with Soldiers taking to the street, giving tourists directions and issuing parking tickets? I can see the countries criminal classes feelings being divided into two camps; those that would look forward to the crime spree, and those who would rather the law enforcement not have rpg’s and m16’s.
