Some Gardaí due to graduate from Templemore next week can’t enter service straight away… because they don’t have Garda vetting. The process has been changed so that trainees are now vetted during college, not beforehand - but the new process seems to have hit some teething issues…

As a three time combat veteran, I get pissed when a five-time draft dodger like Trump bangs the war drums from Mar-A-Lago. When politicians talk tough, it’s not their kids who get sent to war. It’s working class kids who have to fight.
