Dublin 15 Garda Subjected to Disgusting Abuse While Off Duty Over Fuel Protests

A listener from Dublin 15 gets in touch about his neighbour who’s a Garda — and says he’s been getting dogs abuse in public, even when he’s off duty with his wife and kids, over the fuel protests.

Adrian and Jeremy ask: are Gardaí fair game for abuse just because they wear the uniform… or should off-duty officers be completely off-limits?

Callers clash hard. Some say it “comes with the territory”, others argue guards are only following orders, and a few insist they should refuse and walk away. The debate also hits heavy-handed policing, fake news about the PSNI, and that shocking off-duty Snapchat video doing the rounds.
