God when I was young (only in my 40s) if someone was killed it was on the news for weeks , now every day it’s happening, it’s so sad.
They must be real Sc*m of the earth, a 53 yr old and a 46 yr old. God ! You’d expect that from someone in there teens , not grown men with Families probably …
You would expect that from someone in their teens!!! I don’t think murder and stabbings are something to expect from anyone in their teens!
A man has been murdered and no-one wants to offer condolence, just speculate and jeer.. R.I.P. to the man.
Seems to be happening every week.sad.
Bit of an exaggeration don’t you think ,although the good weather seems to have an odd effect on some of the thugs that roam the streets.

It really is. :( Why oh why does this continue to happen? The country seems to be becoming more violent if anything.
Violent crime is down it’s just your perception that is changing.
I believe you, Tommy. Even if it falls to one murder a year, that murder will still pack an emotional punch. It’s tragic.
Sc*m + alcohol + sun (the excuse this time)= trouble. I’ve seen this coming, doesn’t matter where you live.
Bollox
That area is a breeding ground for thugs ,should be fenced off from the rest of the city a lot of high profile criminals were born there ,lock your car doors and put the foot down driving through
Not half as bad as Crumlin- Drimnagh area
Raglan I thought you were supposed to be a Dub? all that Florida sunshine gettin’ to your head then? Drimnagh has lovely people and lovely neat neighborhoods, this type of senseless violence can and does happen all across Dublin and up and down the country, it’s becoming all too common now and it’s actually messed up, but don’t just pick on one area, you do the good people no justice by that.
And so has Ballybough and East Wall got lovely neat neighborhoods and down to earth people. But I never said that Crumlin and Drimnagh should be fenced off from the rest of the city. And if the Florida sunshine hasn’t got to my head after 3 years its very unlikely to get there now. Ill be back home next May and have a few pints with family members in the Ballybough House and the Halfway House and maybe a few pubs in between. :) :)
Country was always as violet especially dublin city just we have more access to news reports
We’re all about the purple here in the big smoke…
Bring back beatings of skumbags who impact on the quality of life for the general decent, hardworking people of this country.
Raglan don’t believe all that shite they put in the papers & on tv about Crumlin & Drimmagh ! Every area has a bit of trouble from time to time you don’t here about but if it’s in Crumlin or Drimmagh then it’s all over the papers & tv !
Alan it’s not from the papers or TV that I get or got my info. I lived in Crumlin for nearly 30 yrs and my family and relatives still living there. I’ve also lived around the East Wall area for over 10 yrs and also have family living there so I know both areas fairly well.
Sc*m! drink involved! sunshine!!!!! Will people get a grip!!! Stop trying to come up with a reason why this happened because none of us will prob never know!!! A life was lost and we should pay respect to the family’s involved on all sides!!!!!!!
Drink and trailer trash dont mix. Never have, never will.
Most probably drink involved!
phew..that explains it,for a second there i thought it was a needless crime..
HEISINBERG !!!
R.I.P. to the deceased. This is all too common nowadays!
As a side note, I find it disturbing and tasteless that the Journal have a Lotto ad at the end of the story!
RIP to whoever lost their life. So sad.!!! Its a shame there are people on here using this as an excuse to put the area down. I lived in this complex for 6 years and there were lovely decent people living there. Right, the area may have some undesireables but so to has every area. It’s not where you live, its how you live. These were not teenage thugs but middle age men. Again RIP and condolences to his family.
Sad why do people have to kill each other . gone are the days of a fair fight… they cant even talk to each other..All down to drugs & greed .. gone are the days of 10 fags and a pint or two.. we were happy with our lot . greed
It’s not where you live it’s how you live and rear your children. So sad for the family of the victim.
have your say
