Need a car to drive to the South of anywhere - the new Mercedes-Benz CLE will do it non-stop beepbeep.ie/en/news-reviews/…
Opportunity to share road time with the INEOS Grenadier. Truly phenomenal in the off-road environs, I look forward to sharing some civil conversation with one of the more interesting vehicles ever to come to market

BYD have just released their all-electric Dolphin onto our shores, with prices starting at €26,570 for the Active trim, while the top-end Design trim asks €37,025 to share its company. This Chinese brand is not fooling around - this is a serious option for many.

Ordinarily being referred to as a cowboy would cause offence. When Shane McGowan hangs that label on you, it is a proud burden to carry

Those of us who have worn the Garda badge know the demands it can place on your word, your deed and your very existence. Very often we can feel alone within and alienated from without on matters of public behaviour… instagram.com/p/CD1K2-XHQ7c/…

Gardai 🚔 assisting HSE ambulance 🚑 with 5 youths 🙍♂️🙍♀️. 1 suffering severe asthma attack. 1 meant to be self-isolating pending #COVIDー19 test. This is serious. Parents - step up to the mark. Your responsibility. We are busy enough!

From blackest fear to an independent courage that is inspirational. Bren’s public service almost cost him his life. He is now on the verge of athletic elitism- the Winter Olympics. If you shake anyone’s hand, clap anyone’s shoulder, let it be Brendan’s. youtu.be/yhiDoZo4pd0

To the politicians it was easy to cut Garda numbers, as it was to do similar to others in the public service. The money saved has now got blood all over it. And now you want to be re-elected. I hope the public’s amnesia doesn’t match your arrogance. facebook.com/1596582964/post…
