    Dirty animal should be strung up by his genitals and left to slowly bleed to death. Terrorising an elderley person in their own home is up there with the worst crimes

    Dirty animal. Attacking the elderly or young is the lowest if the lowest. Laws should be amended to dish out severe penalties to these rat bags.

    @Jimmy , there are plenty of skangers around the country with numerous convictions. Ive no interest in the background of the individual but anyone with 5 to 10 violent convictions against normal people either they should be broken up for parts or detained in wooden huts on the dampest offshore island there is, for life.

    Not a nice thing to happen especially to an elderly person. My home was broken into a few weeks ago. They luck I was not there are there would have been another Padraig Nally incident……it’s only a matter of time before someone does shot an intruder again.
