The Guards work as a taxi service in every station in the country.

I have no problem with him getting lift but I can see where people have had to wait for hours for a Garda response to a burglary or a no show on a domestic might be a little less understanding .
Cant understand why they didn't use a helicopter. I know the guard have used them for Santa Calls in the past

I was involved in the Tipperary set up in 2001 and it was £600 in old money to get the Garda escort from the team hotel to Croke Park on All Ireland day.
It's a nice little earner for the force.

This would've been ad-hoc though at a local level.

Same as Guards or friends of Guards getting collected after nights out and dropped home.

Initially thought it was no big deal but as some have said if I had been the victim of a slow/non response by Guards then i would have reason to be pissed

Hardly.
If you were any use you'd be playing.

where my sister lives in washington state the local community watch people here off duty cops to operate speed checks in full uniform . they can issue tickets too. something about just does not sit right , like thae law is only enforced for those that can afford it.
I know lots of guard have done bouncer duties but that would not be in uniform
