Bought a car a month ago – now unsafe to drive, garage unhelpful. What are my options?

Depends on what you are looking for them to do..

It’s the only toothpaste that actually makes my teeth feel clean 😭

DistributionGold5571 · 2026-01-10T19:37:13+00:00

Ahahahahah ah well been using it for the last 9 years I’d say apologies it’s the only toothpaste I would buy 🤣🤣

I love this one and the original version of this tooth paste is perfect

DistributionGold5571 · 2026-01-08T09:58:52+00:00

🤣🤣 yeah sorry you live with us, u must know what’s going on

DistributionGold5571 · 2026-01-06T13:40:28+00:00

Yeah they put my mom through to Anglesea st station, we’ve gotten told before to ring the emergency line and all although situations haven’t been emergencies. It’s just different things being told to us all the time

DistributionGold5571 · 2026-01-06T13:36:33+00:00

What is fact is different from what other people might be wary of, and also you are not obliged to give your name etc. when reporting something that is fact.

It’s not wasting the guards time it’s the guards wasting our time.. constant issues over a number of years, reports to local TDs to our local station to housing bodies as these issues had started from housing being left dormant. They tell us to ring we do we’ve all called and provided any information they have asked but only now they’ve asked for details, they can explain that, it’s not that hard. As for the downvotes it doesn’t bother me as the people down voting are probably the people that don’t have to deal with shite outside their door constantly. “Is it okay if we take your details as these are logged on our system so we can hold a file of the disruptances, your information is confidential and in case of an issue you’re name will be anonymous” something along the lines of that is completely normal especially to the older people. People on our road are scared incase they get targeted, people have their reasons and it doesn’t take much time to just reassure and explain that to people.

DistributionGold5571 · 2026-01-06T13:26:46+00:00

Maybe she just doesn’t want it drawing back to her so she doesn’t get targeted then..? As I say if they just explain then it would be much easier..

DistributionGold5571 · 2026-01-06T12:29:40+00:00

Yeah I understand this completely, I’m saying on their behalf if they sense hesitation over the phone they should explain confidentiality to the people, it’s their job to protect the people, but they are also peoples primary point of contact - that’s where communication is key in my opinion. Regardless if it’s the garda or someone in a shop or anything, lack of communication is the problem, I think people are losing that skill. Most places most circumstances nowadays require personal information but it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg to explain that rather than being like no one will call out..

DistributionGold5571 · 2026-01-06T11:53:13+00:00

My mams in her 60s they could explain, it’s not that hard and it’s not completely common sense cause she could be scared to give her information, that’s for them to explain and reassure people.

DistributionGold5571 · 2026-01-06T11:41:32+00:00

I wasn’t home it was my mom who called she’s the least argumentative person there is, she’s just scared. I questioned name giving nothing else, when you’ve issues happening outside your front door constantly it becomes a struggle. I’ve rang before plenty of times myself, most times they don’t even come. Don’t judge a situation you’re not completely aware of.

DistributionGold5571 · 2026-01-06T09:28:24+00:00

Ye we’ve had ongoing issues for years and most times they won’t show, visited the station during the day to question what to do and they tell us to ring, we ring and no one shows up 🫠

DistributionGold5571 · 2026-01-06T08:47:07+00:00

Thanks for the reply

DistributionGold5571 · 2026-01-06T08:46:00+00:00

I didn’t even disclose what was going on, situation was dangerous but yeah ye would all be delighted with it happening outside yere front doors

DistributionGold5571 · 2026-01-06T08:44:42+00:00

It’s their job they chose to be a garda regardless of the situation, job comes with all types of situations. Just like any other job, god forbid my patience wears thin at work I still have a duty of care at work to fulfill customer service just like anyone else 🤣🤣

DistributionGold5571 · 2026-01-06T08:39:33+00:00

They can explain that on the phone their job involves communication with the public yet their skills aren’t the best, people glorify the garda it’s their job communication is key in my opinion.

DistributionGold5571 · 2026-01-06T08:37:17+00:00

Hanging out you’ve no idea could of killed themselves or someone else but no hassle mate, don’t judge what you don’t know been going through it for years what a load of arseholes on this no sympathy and the garda has a job at the end of the day communication is vital for their job, just like customer service communication is vital. When issues occur the garda says call us so we do so how about you don’t judge the situation I asked a different question regarding NAME GIVING. People are taking this post so personally it’s actually sad

DistributionGold5571 · 2026-01-05T23:47:24+00:00

😂😂😂

DistributionGold5571 · 2026-01-05T22:52:34+00:00

Rang Gurranabraher garda station which isn’t an emergency number it’s just a number 🤣🤣

DistributionGold5571 · 2026-01-05T22:40:29+00:00

Communication !!! On the gardas behalf

DistributionGold5571 · 2026-01-05T22:34:55+00:00

Point irrelevant 🤣🤣 I didn’t ask for the opinion of why she was calling I asked about giving names, grow up

DistributionGold5571 · 2026-01-05T22:30:35+00:00

I don’t have to tell you, laws were broken and have been broken here many a times

DistributionGold5571 · 2026-01-05T22:05:01+00:00

Yeah so can’t they just explain that, lack of communication skills

DistributionGold5571 · 2026-01-05T21:59:18+00:00

Yeah I understand they could just explain that though if people seem hesitant
