block week with an garda siochana

February 9th - 13th

this week i spent 5 days with leixlip garda station. this was really fun there was four girls from st. wolstans at this block week.

on Monday the 9th of February we went down to the garda college in tullimore, this was a brilliant experience when we were here we were bought into the dorms, the mock court room and there after hours bar/pub.

on Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the ninth of February we went to the courts. i got to sit in on the dwyer murder trail. this was so cool there was so many murder trails on that weren't even in the news or at least i cant remember them. these two days were amazing i learnt so much about the Irish court system and also the structure of the new court buildings. like in the old four courts the family of the victim and the prisoner would be walking past each other entering into the court room. now they are brought in through opposite doors.


on Thursday the 12th we went to westmanstown for see different units of the the gardas. there was K9 unit, aqua, horse unit were all there, now unfortunately i could not go near the K9 or horse units. 


on friday the 13th all we did was go to nass and look at the armed force unit.
