Gardaí assisted by members of the Regional Support Unit have arrested a man in his 50s in relation to this incident.

Wishing them all a speedy recovery at this special time of year…..
@Joseph Molloy:
Well said indeed.
Just when you think criminality has hit a new low something like this happens.
I hope án gárda make a successful case against the person that carried this out and locks him/her up for life
@Justice Mickey: Knowing this country he’ll be out before Christmas.
@Justice Mickey: drove through Patrick street on Friday night. First time ever i saw two mini bus of garda public order units.
@Dave Barrett: that’s what happens when you let things go out of control.
@Justice Mickey: and they build new prisons.so everyone can go down for a long time…in basic rooms.with no Telly room..so sad on a Christmas Eve..
@Shirley Hollingsworth:
Do the crime , do the time.
Why should criminals have rights ?.
I do agree with some concessions for good behaviour but we need to stop criminal behaviour, not reward it.
Poor child. I wish you full physical and psychological recovery little boy. Will be praying for you xxxx
@monika: I wish them all a speedy recovery.
We need to start executing these filth
@Ole dan tucker: no we don’t. Just hand down actual sentences not the “Hogan: (ruffles hair) Now you be a good boy and run along ya little scamp” we have currently.
@gm_cmanning: no, anyone breaks into my home will be executed and I’d encourage everyone to think likewise, one or two and it would all stop
@Ole dan tucker: bring back public hanging
@Ole dan tucker: that’s self defence and legal not execution. If you batter em, tie em to a chair then execute em. That’s murder/execution and you’ll be the one being locked up.
@Mike Murphy: in what reality is that a good idea?
@gm_cmanning: in every reality it’s a good idea….the scrotes wont be breaking into anyones houses and stabbing people ever again
@Mike Murphy: so hanging stopped all that kinda crime previously? It a wonder we ended hanging then isn’t it. Oh wait it didn’t stop anything and god knows how many innocent people were wrongly executed.
@gm_cmanning: we have gotten way too soft on crime in this country harder punishment is needed
@Ole dan tucker: rhymes with silly old…………
@Mike Murphy: agreed. Execution is not the answer and doesn’t work as a deterrent.
@Ole dan tucker:
They break into our house they go out in a bag.
I don’t care about a car or a shed but put 1 foot into our house and I will act accordingly to protect my family .
@Justin McNulty: whatever u think Justin mcslutface
Well I hope this ‘person’ will be charged with attempted murder, and I hope he is given the maximum sentence which is life. Rarely probably never a sentence given but the such a sentence is on irish statute books…. poor people speedy recovery to all I can only imagine the trauma on that poor child of ten, he will always associate xmas with this…
@Paul O’Sullivan: Most likely he’ll be charged with “reckless endangerment” or some other high sounding legal term, then the State (I mean the taxpayer) will give tens of thousands to a legal team to tell the judge all about his tough upbringing and his struggle with alcohol and drug addiction in return for which the judge will give a short sentence —with most of it suspended! This is Ireland!
RTE is now saying the suspect was known to the victims and is no longer reporting it as a burglary. Hopefully victims all make full recoveries.
@DK: That did sound odd. My first thought was back to my own childhood with a beast of a drunken father at Christmas.
@Mary Morrisey: My heart breaks reading that Mary. Hope your Christmases as an adult are happy and peaceful xx
@Mary Morrisey: I can relate to that experience .
How long is Glanmire Road in Mayfield ? I wish the victims a speedy recovery.
@Liam White: Where is the Glanmire Rd? There’s a Lower and a Middle none of which are in Mayfield.
@páraicS: mayfield garda area
@páraicS: part of the Middle Glanmire Road is in Mayfield . It starts at St Lukes Cross and ends at Colmcille Ave Mayfield.
@Ruby Tuesday: I thought they like to use Montenotte as their address :)
@Liam White: Its Middle Glanmire Road, and technically it is Montenotte, not Mayfield. Luckily for the victims, Mayfield Garda Station is a 30 second drive away
It was no burglary, it was the eldest victim’s brother in law, her children’s uncle
Yeah I agree, it sounded odd from the beginning. Not trying to sound harsh on the guards but first thing that sounded odd was they arrested someone already.
@barry sorensen: don’t rise to the ignorant troll, it’s Christmas
@Mel Fitzpatrick: good call… i should have known better. Looks like that comment has been removed along with my reply. Proper order.
@barry sorensen: Good man, some people get bored round this time of year!
@roberto Mankini: WTF is that supposed to mean? Are you suggesting that somehow the child deserved this? Or those women did?
@roberto Mankini: the fcuk??
This country is down the toilet
Have read elsewhere that it wasn’t a burglary, that he was known to the victims who let him into the house…
have your say
