I was scammed on done deal. I called to Terenure Garda Station to make a complaint. I thought the…read moreGard (Tim Fitzgibbons) was very unhelpful and not overly bothered. I gave him all the info only yo find out he never put the report on pulse system. The scammers were based in Galway and a very nice fraud squad Garda called me from there to find out why I had not made a complaint. I am livid that my taxes pay for this lazy man.

The guards in Dublin need to work on their image. Personally, I'm intimidated by them because they…read morepatrol the city with scowls on their face. Often, they seem to be on their high horse, looking down on the ordinary folks. My perception wasn't challenged when I visited the Store Street Garda Station with my flatmate. Everything I just wrote above was basically confirmed. My flatmate and I weren't in the station because we're criminals. Instead, my friend need to speak to a sergent regarding a car he used to possess that had no insurance for. There was a lone policewoman at the reception desk. She was chatting away about CCTV footage with an older man and only interrupted that conversation to yell at some knackers who were also queuing to speak to her. I know that as a woman, people often challenge your authority, but this guard totally overreacted and seem to be taking out her hang-ups on civilians. She was grumpy as hell when she got to me and my friend. She was also impatient, not taking the time to comprehend my friend's accented English. Overall, I wasn't too impressed with how she handled the situation. People like her make others fear the guards instead of feeling protected.
Like Alexandra, I also have a bone to pick with the Gardaí of Store Street. Now, I have nothing…read moregood, bad nor indifferent to say about their mode of interaction with members of the public, as I have never dealt with any of them in an official capacity. My gripe is with whichever cretin whose bright idea it was to get rid of the bicycle racks outside the station. What could the rationale possibly have been? It is true that there is always a load of brass monkeys outside Store St, and no doubt bits and pieces went missing from bikes occasionally, but I'd rather lock my bike up outside a Garda Station than in other parts of the north city centre. And there isn't really anywhere else suitable to lock a bike up in the surrounding area. The nearest place that I'd feel comfortable locking up is outside Pearse St Garda Station (where you also see junkballs trying locks, so be careful). It's true that Pearse St is only an extra two minute cycle, but if you have some business near Store St but have to lock up in Pearse and walk all the way back.. well, it'd be a right pain in the bum. So put back the bike racks, please, and don't use my use of the word "cretin" as an excuse to ticket me if you catch me breaking a red or whatever.

He was so incredibly captivating. I'm not sure anyone spoke for the full hour of the tour we were all so fascinated in his stories. So sobering and poignant. For only €8 this is an absolute steal. We took the first tour in the morning which I recommend as you get to see everything, including the museum, before the crowds.

They don't believe anything will come of a citizen reporting crime. No real interest in community matters and getting justice. Detectives don't bother replying to serious emails. It's no wonder the country is in the state that it's in. Family and friends of the force still think their sun shines bright though. Nice for them. The rest of us citizens can just rot.
Free on street parking.
