Keening
In Ireland they say, “If you want help, go to the guards - if you don’t want help, go to the guards.”

Since my dismissal, every two months I’d receive the following letter:
*
The Department of Justice
A Chara,
In compliance with the terms of your termination, it is required you surrender all property belonging to the Government.
See Article 59347A of Uniform and Equipment. It has come to our attention you have failed to return Item 8234 - A regulation garda all-weather coat.
We trust in your speedy return of said item.
Mise le meas

Fit like harmony.
The only link I had to my former career.
Would I return it? Woul
