No worries about the editing Patricia, you're right and makes sound points about why you did that. Let's hope you do hear from the lady in question and that something can be done about the situation.

Thanks Cable87. I have heard from her now and she is taking steps to resolve the situation she has found herself in and agrees that it is not appropriate for us to be discussing the details of her situation here at this time.Originally Posted by Cable87
Whilst not directly impacted, I am so annoyed about this...sorry Rebecca, you are wrong...I have given EI the valid reasons for a search. You are obliged to comply with this search as per below...here is an excerpt from the advice I have given to EI...
A search warrant is needed in most circumstances except where a Garda has an arrest warrant for someone occupying the premises or if in pursuit of a suspect. If a Garda asks to enter the premises you should confirm their identity and the Garda station they are based at. Gardai will provide this information for you to check before admitting them. You should ask the nature of their visit and if they have a warrant. If you cannot speak English or read the details of the warrant you should try and explain this as best you can. If the Gardai have no warrant you are not obliged to grant them access.
Search Hotel rooms:- A Garda has a right to search an hotel room if they believe an offence has been committed or is about to be committed.
Evidence:- The Gardai have the right to take away anything they consider may be used as evidence, this includes condoms, lubricants, phones, laptops, cash etc.
Laptop / Mobile phones:- A Garda can seize anything that they consider may be used as evidence. They can request the password to computers, laptops and PIN numbers for phones or they can request that you show them information contained on any electronic equipment.
Do they not need warrant to take something from an appt? A number of guards in athlone are very suspect and crossed a line. And there is more to this that we cannot discuss here, but hopefully they will get their marching orders.
Generally a Garda cannot enter your home or place of work without your consent. A search warrant is needed in most circumstances except where a Garda has an arrest warrant for someone occupying the premises or if in pursuit of a suspect.....If a Garda is acting disrespectful etc...take their number and report them through official channels.....GSOC - Garda S
They took her phone without warrant and abused her verbally and embarrassed her in front of the other athlone guards, usual boisterous behaviour.
