    ASBO's, not a single one

    Not one ASBO has been issued by the guards since their introduction six months ago. Is this normal when it comes to new policing schemes, or is it a bad sign that even the guards dont want to use them?

    Maybe go ring a Buddy who's a Garda in the Station and get them to check the Pulse records Rock there and then?

    It shows that the ASBO's were a publicity stunt in the lead up to the election.
    The word 'politics' is derived from the word 'poly', meaning 'many', and the word 'ticks', meaning 'blood sucking parasites

    Well there's been a reasonably low number of Murder charges brought by the Gards in the last few months. Perhaps this whole 'anti-murder' law is simply a publicity stunt!
