I guess the two Gardai that I know personally, both Sergeants, one driving a 9x-D Polo and the other driving a 03D Focus must have forgotten to apply for the allowance.Was unfortunate enough to be in the area of the frontline protest. It was just breaking up and everyone was heading off. I walked behind 3 guards on the street down beside the passport office. They looked in their early thirties. One got into a top of the range 2 door BMW 6 series coupe and another a nice 320d.
Is there a BMW allowance among the 56 allowances that are so critical?

Is there true solidarity within ICTU? I don't think so at all and I predict cracks/internal disagreements will surface soon.
Or else maybe he (like many other property investors) used the banks' money and the state subsidy (interest relief) to do some leveraged investing.The garda up the road from me with 4 houses must have been maxing out his allowances all along fair play to him....

Capitalism in Ireland 2009.if you make a fortune in property great but if you lose its the banks fault.
I agreeI also know a garda sergeant and he doesn't drive a fancy car either.
Maybe they won the lotto.
Maybe they got inheritance.
Maybe their wives make a lot of money in the private sector.
Begrudgery!!!
This thread truely is the depths......
Fully of totally unsubstantiated, outlandish statements by bitter, jealous people. Disgusting......Irish begrudgery at its worst.
Not a normal feature of AAM where users attempt to put their opinions forward in a balanced manner (there are 2 sides to every story) based on cold hard facts.
I stopped visiting other websites in order to avoid that kind of jealous, sad, small minded ranting. Cop on AAM
I didn't say anything about blame for anybody. I just made a suggestion about how he (like many others) may have built a property portfolio - no more, no less.very true i agree 100%, like so many others in all sectors who contributed to the demand side of the boom. Are you saying any PAYE workers who speculated on property are blameless??

The previous poster had referred facetiously to a BMW allowance, so I continued his facetious approach.Fiar enough. I just dont undesrsrtand your point about gaurds driving 9x year cars and not claiming allowances.
Did you mean to say 'cant'?You can judge someones finances by what year car they drive...
I agree

You might want to tell that to Ceatharlach.You can't judge someones finances by what year car they drive...
But you are happy to make judgements about the appropriateness of the salary levels of a force of 14,000 people based on the two cars you saw. You are happy to make judgements like 'the Polo cop must'nt like cars' though you know nothing about him.I am not begrudging either. I am delighted for them... Just dont go whingeing about wages that NEED to be cut as the country cant afford them at the moment, to support a lifestyle that is clearly not that close to the breadline to say the very least. The Polo cop must'nt like cars, isn't it lucky he can made that choice as his salary allows.
