I would have thought it would be up near the top this listTo report a missing person in the case of emergency, contact any Garda Station and provide as much relevant information as possible including:
Name
Age
Gender
Height
Build
Hair colour
Date person was last seen
Where person was last seen
What person was wearing when last seen
Any other relevant personal details or information
A recently taken photograph if available
I saw a report in one of the papers lately about a girl who was missing and an appeal was issued to the public for their help.
She was desceribed as 5'2", dark hair and brown eyes, wearing a blue hoodie with jeans and white trainers (or something along those lines).
There was a pretty pertinent piece of information that they left out.
She is black.
I know a good many people who would fit that description who are white. I can't understand why her skin colour wasn't mentioned as it would immediately narrow the field for those who hadn't seen the picture (as many appeals to help find missing people are also issued on the radio).
Are the authorities more worried about offending those who basically 'want' to be offended, that they leave out important descriptive features ?
I can't work it out.
Chinese takeaway?If you skip through a few pages most seem to have Chinese names.
Chinese takeaway?
Joking aside, the way this 'Child Rescue Ireland Alert' is being reported on RTÉ today one might think that there is a wave of child abductions and that the Guards are gonna do something (about a non-existent problem) . . this nonsense will simply serve to worry parents unnecessarily. What next for our intrepid Minister & Commissioner? Perhaps an alien abduction hotline . . but everyone knows that they've already learned all then can from anal probing.
