People should not be afraid to make a complaint. It is your duty to do so. Remember we the people are in charge , the Gardai are our servants. Personally I cant wait to make a complaint about my friend Sergeant DA 51. Hopefully there will be a lot more complaints about him.
Try as you will . The Gardai will have the last laugh. You we put off the road because you didnt respect the rights of others. I hope the ombudsman has a big shredder for all your complaints. Some of you will have your day in court ... in the dock. The law is for all the people and should be respected by all the people
Some of us have already been in court, and in prison because of this failed scheme.
If the law applies to everyone, why doesn't apply to the Guards who kick punch and beat people in Mayo instead of arresting them?
Personally I think it's about time the ombudsman has been set up, the way the Gardaí treat civilians is a disgrace. Some of course are grand, but give some of them a uniform and they think they own the place. The power they hold has corrupted some of them, and what I've seen down is Rossport makes me sick. They obviously didn't study Irish in school, "Gardaí Síochana" means Guardians of the Peace, not beat up those who are standing up against Shell. The Gardaí should be ashamed of themselves. Hurray for the Ombudsman

I suspect that Jim O Toole is a member of the Gardai . What do you think folkes ? So Mr. Jim , please climb back into your box and be warned " The Truth Will Out ". Its been a long time coming but JUSTICE WILL BE DONE.
About 20 Shell to Sea complaints went in, to my knowledge, on Ombudsman 'opening day' May 9th, including some that we hand-delivered on behalf of others.
Get your complaints in within six months of the date of incident to be guaranteed investigation. However, the Ombudsman Commission may extend that period if it has 'good reason' to do so. Many Shell to Sea complaints go back to October 2006. Get them in now.
Simply write an account of what happened, include your name and postal address and Garda identity/number, if possible. Engage in written and/or email correspondence only, to preserve the record. Do not engage in discussion about your case on the phone, just use the phone for appointments and the like.
Email your complaints to info@gsoc.ie with the subject: 'FAO Senior Case Officer, (Shell to Sea Complaint).'
We expect the Ombudsman Commission to investigate our complaints thoroughly for the purposes of prosecuting these Gardaí and convicting them of violent and criminal behaviour.
Anyone who would like to avoid the Ombudsman and initiate more direct private prosecutions in open court against Gardaí, without solicitors, contact me at 086 8444966 please.
Please also study 'Your rights and how to deal with the Gardaí' here: http://www.indymedia.ie/article/82108
Can anybody tell me where the DA numbers come from ?
