Local TD Darragh O’Brien described the death as a “tragic incident”.

“This is a very tragic incident, and while the full details of what happened aren’t yet known, we all need to look after our friends on nights out,” he said.

I will be closely monitoring the situation as it unfolds and will remain in regular contact with the Gardaí in Swords and Coolock.

The road has been closed from the junction of North Street/Seatown Road to North Street/Entrance to Carnegie Court Apartments.

    BBC are up to their neck in this – and they know it.
    God only knows, for years, what went on backstage after ‘Top of the Pops’ & what senior BBC staff knew about it.
    Highly embarrassing for them, broadcasting that fawning Christmas tribute to Savile, shortly after his death.
    It has been reported, that the Director General of the BBC knew all about him, – yet let the tribute programme go ahead.

    Ever hear the saying “the devil is hiding in plain sight”?

    Nobody would suspect this man of being a pederast. Look at him! He is the person you would least suspect. Damn him! The cerebral bastard!

    Now then now then now then. A lot of half-truths written about me. Just because I liked to spend a lot of time with the duchess after she passed on to the next world doesn’t mean I am a necromancer. No sirree Bob. And I don’t need to abuse nowt underage girls. I had plenty of women knocking down my door on TOTP Sonny boy. And a lot of them were 17!

    I never had a girlfriend. No sirree Bob. Women are brain damage. Anything that can cook is brain damage. I would rather feast on something else. *Googly eyes*
