First day at work :D

So I'm just home from my first day at work experience at Leixlip Garda Station & it went brilliantly :D Everyone else who had a placement there and myself, waited in the station for our supervisors to arrive at 9:30. There was twelve TY students there in total....

After Niall & Aiden (the supervisors) introduced themselves, we all headed off in the mini bus for Templemore, where guards are trained. There we met Deirdre, who showed us around the building, eg. the lecture theatres, a classroom, the "court room" (where they practise court cases) & a room where they have a practical exam with an actor, where they are examined on how they react in certain situations, for example delivering bad news after a death.
Next we went to the cafeteria for lunch....which was gigantic! They sometimes would have about 1'200 students there at the one time, however they have stopped training at present.
After lunch Deirdre showed us around the rest of the complex....the swimming pool, the gym, the dorms & the courtyard where the guards go on marches every week to be inspected. She also told us about the training process & the importance of fitness while training to become a guard.
Once this was over, Aidan & Niall spoke to us briefly about the driving school & then we headed home. At the toll bridge, we were charged because they would not believe it was a garda vehicle...despite the two officers dressed in full uniform in the front seat (:
