2 arrested in connection with the murder,in Whitehall (Dublin).

Seems to be conflicting reports on that. I saw it in The Irish Times, but then on RTE the report said nobody has been arrested in connection with this killing so far.

RTÉ tend to run a bit behind.

Terrible news.

Hearing of a shooting in Omagh last night too involving a PSNI officer but not the same tragic outcome.

Where abouts did this happen EC? No word of it on the news.
Coolnaguard (SP) as far s I heard.

It was Coolnagard. They found an under car bomb in a laneway nearby on Kevlin rd.

Pity the bullets did not connect with intended targets!

RIP to the poor Garda. Hope the scum are caught.

Why oh why did they have cash deliveries organised at the same time every week in this Credit Union?

it wasn't a delivery, it was the closing time of the CU when someone would have been going to the bank night safe.

Why oh why do we tolerate the scum that everyone knows are behind this type of thing?

Sorry,but the news said delivery.

Know of a scenario where a financial institution was robbed at gunpoint,staff terrified etc,one of the staff members identified the culprit,but Police warned her before the Court Case and testimony that they could not guarantee her future safety,and as a result she inevitably didn't proceed to testify against him in Court.Other staff members received statutory compensation, except the staff member in question, due to her unwillingness to testify! What's that about the law being an ass, administered by assholes?

If it were 'statutory' then they would have to get it.

I knew the man from my Dundalk days, he started working in the Gardai just as i finished me time in the RTC, he was a class mate of a housemate of mine.
A hell of a nice fella, not your typical "guard" type at all, good crack, big into his football and enjoyed a few recreational beers same as the rest of us.

I last spoke to him over three years ago on a day/night out in Dundalk the Christmas before heading to Oz, hadn't seen him in 6/7 years but he was straight over and going over old times, slagging away about football and the St Pats Vs St Macartan's school rivalry.( he was an ex St Pats, Cavan Man)

I'm just in shock that this man is no longer with us for the sake of a few euro.

RIP Susie.

Hard to figure out this killing and its clear that it was a shoot to kill policy from the gang.

Did they under estimate the amount on cash that was in the place? Did they then panic and leave behind what was there?

To shoot someone like that, you'd have to think that they were cold hearted and ruthless killers who have done it before.

Hopefully they are brought to justice.

We always claim on here that life appears to be cheap in different places around the world, but the price of 4000E for a family man's life is just unthinkable.
