-----the churches will be closed soon. I will not say where but gardaí held up a poor man coming from church two weeks ago. After he had struggled to put his poor wife into the car, they asked him to blow into a bag. When he asked whether they thought people were drinking inside the church, they replied that he could have been drinking the previous night. He told them he had not been drinking and took the test. What is happening in this country is shameful. It was needless. Our Garda resources would be better deployed in more worthwhile places where they could help the elderly. Our Garda stations are shut. That is another service gone.
