Nice one Gardai. Guns and grass should have no relationship together. Giving grass a bad name.
The garda do a great job getting them in and the courts let them out.
The Garda are working extremely hard in the last few months. I hope that after all their hard work some people will be locked up for a long spell.
“Guns & Cannabis” – And our government would like us to believe that they’re concerned for the wellbeing of our society, what a joke!!
I concur with everything that you have already stated about Cannabis for the last year.
That’s 2 down , XY to go. Well done Garda!
