    Surprising that the article didn’t say ‘he was known to Gardai’. It’s the sort of violence one would associate with revenge / punishment.

    It seems a number of his fingers including his thumb were cut off in an assault – it’s a very violent incident so I reckon it warrants reporting.

    I chipped my nail on my baby toe and had to be rushed to a beauty salon. Got a back, sack and crack wax while I was there so it wasn’t all in vain, monkey.
