Guards in Finglas have found a cat ... and they're not delighted about it

Think of all the cute videos they could make together.

Updated 9.45pm

GARDAÍ IN FINGLAS found a cat in the station yard yesterday, and apparently it won’t leave.

They took to their Twitter page in a bid to find the owner.

Do you know who the owner is?

By this evening, there was still no sign of the cat padding away to its rightful home:

To be fair, we’d be in no rush to leave either: that red swivel chair looks lovely.

    @John O Connor: paying the workers properly might help

    I fully support equal pay if the expertise is on a par but why should patients pay they have paid with their lives in cases due to delayed care in getting a diagnosis during the past two years of covid . Bloods tell a lot and tomorrow patients suffer yet again . Really not professional and using the sick as bargaining tools . Nurses and front line staff didn’t strike during covid when they were over worked and underpaid and literally risked their lives pre vaccine and pre ffp2 masks . This is not the time as the system tries to catch up in treating the lately diagnosed . I loose sympathy when patients who the lab staff get paid to care for don’t care . Strike is not acceptable in a pandemic catch up phase

    @Mary O Dwyer: Listen darling the expertise is not only on a par but the medical scientists do most of the work,they have been getting hammered for the last 20 years ,work load,pay, everything.They kept all the PCR testing going during covid when everyone relied on them and I mean everyone in all our society.You should not be making comments you are clueless about so if u get time try and make your way back to planet earth!!

    @Mary O Dwyer: when would a good time be? When the service is destroyed altogether by the loss of more staff that are not been treated equally in the workplace? If all other channels have been exhausted what other choice is there? What happened when penny pinching of this vital service a decision was made to send cervical services to America ? Penny pinching here again and not respecting this highly educated workforce will lead to huge quality issues down the line with more highly trained staff leaving. Enhancing and supporting a dedicated workforce is what a forward thinking government should be doing. The area of advanced medical diagnostics which Ireland has ambitions to be a leader in needs to be invested in and highly trained scientist at a minimum should be treated equally

    @Mary O Dwyer: When do you suggest we take action? When the service collapses?
    We purposely didn’t take action during the height of the pandemic due to the affect it would’ve had on the country.
