Idiot do you think they went in with a wet wipe and picked it up. It is unknown what diseases that scuumbag is harbouring I would think that room was given a deep clean.

Back in my day the cops would have force fed it to him……

Martin you are not looking at the bigger picture. He got caught 165 times stealing so how many times didn’t he get caught? Multiply that by the amount of goods he stole each time and I’m fairly sure it would add up to much more than €16 and that’s why he is locked up.

Maybe he had the scutters. Pebble dashed the whole wall.

Proinsias if that was the case dipstick, the most dangerous job in the world is that of a toilet cleaner.

Even with a deep clean by someone with the HACCP courses done (like me) a rate of 131 euro for half an hours work done is pretty good going – don’t assume were all idiots – Alesis

I didn’t assume it, Martin. I’m simply pointing out how ludicrous is it that a Garda can;t clean a room or cell in 2015. What would happen if it happened in a station in a small town in the middle of the country? Would the Gardai call someone in from the city to clean it? If so, that’s outrageous and a shcoking waste of money.

True Alesis, when you add that, it is a shocking waste of money, and I wonder after 165 previous convictions what’s not working in the system.

So by ur logic nurses have to clean a hospital, teachers clean the schools etc etc. Ur just having a cut at the gardai ya ape

@ Martin.
So with that logic we will introduce a minimum cost before the guards investigate.
Pull your head out of your hole.

Oh Jesus Naoibh.

“So by ur logic nurses have to clean a hospital” – Yes. That happened up to very recently and is now yet another reason why the health service is in shit and costs a bloody fortune to run,. We know have manky hospitals and superbugs Bring back the Matron – they ran a tight ship and at least cleaned the bloody place.

“teachers clean the schools” – as a matter of fact yes. Teachers AND students used to clean the schools in days gone by. Imagine that. What depravity eh?

When did teachers have to clean the toilets in schools??

That’s true Martin, I reckon instead of blaming the guy who appears to have had a fairly good start in life and to end up pooping in a garda station needs to be looked at, simply rearresting him over and over again for the same crimes and it not working is like the definition of madness repeating the same mistakes over and over again and expecting different results, at least the guy can plead that he was out of his head on gear, what’s the judicial systems excuse?

Would ya cop on. All public buildings have cleaning and or cleaning contractors. Please reply when u know what u are talking about. I would rather have nurses teachers etc employed to do the job they are paid to do rather than clean the building they work from. I wonder how many apple or metronic employees have to clean the building they work in? None I’d guess and rightly so.

Jesus you’re not too bright are you. The Gardai and nurses deal with intoxicated people every night of the week. It’s part of the job description. Apple don;t and nor do public companies. There is no parallel.

I’m not to bright . U can’t even answer what I have stated. There are cleaners employed to do the job of cleaning. Nurses nurse, teachers teach and gardai police. Do you get ta concept or will I have to spell it out slower for you. The point about apple etc was that public and private bodies have a similar policy when it comes to cleaning the buildings they work in. Try understand stop making a fool of your self

Well nurses pretty much do. If it is human waste on on the ground/wall whatever a nurse has to clean it up before the cleaners will clean it.

You’ll find there is a hospital orderly to do that job most of the time a nurses aid and what have you. In some cases I suppose a nurse has to deal with a person who is incontent etc. My point is that cleaners are employed to clean public buildings but for some reason alesis thinks the gardai should have to clean the garda stations. I wonder does he have an axe to grind the fool

naoibh b- few would suggest that the gardai should have to clean the garda stations. However many would think that one of them could have gloved up, picked up the turd and wiped the floor with disinfectant instead of calling the cleaners in specifically to carry out that one small five minute task. If a child did it in a classroom I am pretty certain that a teacher would clean it up rather than calling in the cleaners to pick it up for them.

It was a scatalogical crime scene area, so it had to cleaned forensically.

Why didn’t they make him clean it up himself ?

I find it hard to equate the innocent mistake of a child with that of a prisoner deliberately doing that in ta corner of an interview room. Accordingly I would find it hard to think a garda should have to clean up after its just not the same. Would you do it? Even it you would I feel you shouldn’t have to. I think the gardai were fully entitled to call in the cleaners on this occasion. Not easy for them either btw

Is your day the 1800′s?!

naoibh b if the choice was clean it up in 5 minutes myself or call the cleaners specifically to do it at a cost to the taxpayer, then yes I would clean it up myself. Maybe if I worked in the public sector I’d feel differently about using resources

@ Naoibh actually nurses do have to clean any and all bodily fluids up. The cleaners won’t and dont do it, fact.

Naoibh we don’t have orderlies or nurses aids in Ireland. We have healthcare assistants and porters. And it stills stands, the nurses still clean up the bodily fluids.

We have nursing assistant/ aides .

You obviously didn’t read what I said.

Merry Christmas, sh*tter was full.

So we’ll all just ignore him stealing everyday of the week. The store owners won’t mind of course.

Bent billions!

We all would?? Maybe you! But I’m of the opinion that the inequality of wealth is at the core of humanity’s problems.

Especially wealth amassed by fraudulent and corrupt behaviour!

If the tribunals findings were followed up on then we could find a situation whereby DOBS investments since this time each amount to an illegal transaction!

One rule for the powerful, anyone espousing differently is either a fool or a knave!

Which one are you?

I’m a realist who dosent spend his time moaning and whining at every opportunity . Life’s too short ..stop moaning and grow up..there will always be very rich, rich,middle class ,working class and poor …that’s life …communism never worked …ask half of Eastern Europe !!!

give it up fionn ta f@ck of course you’d take the money.

Mainly theft according to article…

Then he should have gotten help a long time ago. He is mentally unstable and Jail time will increase that instability tenfold doing both him and society no favor as he will be out robbing again in no time. He needs someone of good influence to turn his life around. He’s fallen from the ladder and just needs counselling and to be sent to a mental hospital until he gets better.

Agree Stephen. The dude is obviously destroyed because of his addiction & the answer is put him on a methadone programme & lock him up. There is nowhere else to put him only back into the prison system where he learns more ways to scam for his habit & has endless amounts of it. The system is stuffed full of addicts and people with mental problems that are considered criminals. They might have committed a criminal act but have serious underlying issues that can be managed & fixed with the right attitude & skills. In prisons they are used by proper criminals for holding gear, phones whatever in cells. Ireland is going the same route as the US prison system which is clogged with people that will never get out of the it because they throw them altogether & don’t deal with the core problem. We need more facility’s for the mentally challenged. More facilities for drug addicts & properly trained staff in them. Crime is not our problem,yet. Addiction is

Stephen do you really think that the approach that you have mentioned was not tried in the past? He’s a recidivist and has to take some level of responsibility himself.
