Date    1st October 2009
Garda or Garda Station involved Donnybrook Garda Station
Details
On 1st February 2009 a male motorcyclist got knocked off his bike outside Donnybrook Garda Station, he was in hospital fo 6 weeks after the accident. He produced his Tax & and; Insurance documents within 7 days of the accident, as required. When  we asked for the other drivers details, we were told that they were not available, it transpired that the car was being driven by an off duty female Garda, who had no insurance. The case was investigated by a higher ranking officer. The defendant was to appear in a Dublin court today at 11.30. We got a phone call from the higher ranking officer who was investigating the case, he said that the legal papers had been lost and that the case was not going to proceed. It is now questionable if the case will ever come to court, and the female Garda can return to duty, without any charge being brought against her.
It appears there is one law for the Gardai and another for Joe Public
