Hello from Sofia and Inari. We are both in third class in OLV and we are going to tell you about our visit to the Ballymun Garda Station.
We started our trip in the lobby where we were met by 3 Garda who brought us on a tour of the station. They brought us into a room where you get taken if you were arrested. Here, there was a doorway that led to three cells. We got to go into the cells and sit on the beds. This is not a nice place to be.
Afterwards, we got to go outside. Where there was so much going on. We got to get into the back and front of the Garda trucks and vans and sit on the motorbike. They even let us turn on the sirens! We were able to put on helmets, hats and safety gear and we got to hold the guns too (with safety pins on!).
Our favourite part was holding the shields because they were so big. Another favourite part was getting to honk the horns.
We got to ask loads of questions, one was can a Garda arrest another Garda, which we found out can happen! We found out the reason the chairs have to be sealed to the floors in the rooms is to stop prisoners from walking with the chairs attached to their cuffs.
It was really fun and if we got the chance to go back, we would love that!
