Elliot Ness and The Untouchables Gardai dismantle a potiin distillery in Connemara, Co Galway, 1990.
And seize an illegal contraception device into the bargain.
Good times.

Det Garda Adrian Donohoe (above), who was married with children, was shot dead during an attempted raid on a credit union in Jenkinstown, near Dundalk (top).
He was on escort duty when a gang of four men attempted to rob the Lordship Credit Union, which stays open late on Friday nights.
Det Garda Donohoe was shot when he confronted the raiders. His colleague has been severely traumatised but is otherwise unhurt.
The raiders then fled the scene in what is believed to have been a dark-coloured car.

This man is a living legend. Not often you get a garda with his own tribute facebook page.
Spotted at City Hall, Dublin, yesterday.

I was just speaking to a mate of mine who is a Garda. He was on a course this morning designed to inform members on how to correctly use the Laser guns used in speed checks.
I asked with some curiosity wasn’t today supposed to be the start of the “Slow Down Operation” and wouldn’t it have been a better idea holding this course, say, last week?
He then old me that when the course instructor was asked would they be able to use an actual Laser gun he was informed “No, they are all out in the field today for… (wait for it) the “Slow Down Operation”.
I have to say this sprang to mind.
