Today was the longest day of work yet, but probably the most enjoyable (: In the morning we went to the Garda Mounted Unit in the Phoenix Park. There we met some of the horses, such as Comhall & Deaglán & were told how they were trained & how they "dressed" for special occasions such as the Queens visit :)
Next we, once again got a bite to eat in Mc Donalds & headed over to the Garda Dog Unit :P There we met some officers & their dogs...such as Felix, Bailey & Jack. Some were Labradors & some were German shepherds. Despite the fact they were trained to sniff out explosives, drugs or human scent & were trained to attack on command, they were surprisingly friendly!
Finally towards the end of the day, we took a trip to GASU...Garda Air Supply Unit, where we were shown a clip of guards chasing a man armed with a knife ^_^ There, we also saw one of the Garda helicopters take off. It was quite an amazing experience! :D
