Dr Holmes gave the example of a Garda drugs search of an apartment. An innocent couple had moved in some months earlier but gardaí appeared to be unaware of it. They broke down the apartment door when the couple were at work and then discovered that the suspect did not live there.
Gardaí did not immediately apologise and one year later, the flat owner had not been paid for the damage caused.
"This was wholly and totally unacceptable and an apology in time and prompt action by the gardaí would have resolved the matter."
I thought that impersonating a Garda was a serious offence!?IA relative of my wifes once had someone claiming to be from the Gardai turn up to serve a summons (also turned out that Gardai incorrect information). Asked the Garda for his identification. The Garda refused to supply it and got very defensive. So he took the registration number of the Gardas car and noted down a discription. On investigation, it turned out that the man with the summons WASNT even a Garda.
