Comment

Apologies for the lack of references, but I can't remember how to cut and paste with this laptop. Will try to sort it out soon; if anyone else cares to help out in the meantime, many of the required references are in the linked articles. Lapsed Pacifist (talk) 14:20, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

POV

The article at present is very non-neutral. Lots of unsourced sweeping statements -- all against the Garda and all in favour of the protest. Bigdaddy1981 (talk) 20:00, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've started a cleanup of this article to remove Weasel Words, hyperbole, unsubstantiated claims and POV. Could anyone editing this please pay particular attention to the fact that the name of the police force of the Republic or Ireland is the Garda Siochana and stop refering them as police but instead using correct terms, Garda and Gardaí.

It needs it, I finished repairing the Solitaire article and trimmed some overblown stuff on the Mayo article and might turn to one of the other members of this Mayo-Gas complex. Good point re Garda and Gardai -- surprises me that people who edit these articles are/t cogniscent of that fact.Bigdaddy1981 (talk) 23:06, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of unsourced claims

I've removed this piece of text which is making an unsourced claim:-

This has resulted in a situation where County Mayo, the region with the lowest crime rate in the Republic of Ireland, has the state's highest rate of complaints against Gardaí.

I am doing so on the basis of this article here which details complaints to the Ombudsman Commision which clearly proves otherwise:- [1]

Slack

The coverage of this summer's controversial policing is a bit slack, and why is there no mention of the people convicted before Harrington and Harnett? Now that I think of it, what has their convictions got to do with policing? Lapsed Pacifist (talk) 15:27, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Because they came about as a result of policing? Could you please stop your edit warring and instead turn your attention to RFAR? G~~ain~~Line ♠ _♥ 16:12, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
