Inquiry after Kangaroo released at hotel party

Gardaí are investigating an incident in which an animal, believed to be a kangaroo, was released onto the dance floor of a hotel in Dublin on Saturday night.

The incident took place during a 30th birthday party at the Clarion Hotel in Liffey Valley in Dublin.
Video footage shows a man picking up and swinging the animal while the theme tune to 'Skippy the Bush Kangaroo' is played in the background.

Hotel management and the Dublin Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals have said they are horrified by the incident.
Gardaí say they are investigating reports that the animal later died.
General Manager of the hotel, Garret Marrinan, said that they became aware of the incident when the manager on duty noticed a commotion on the dance floor.

When he went to investigate he saw what he believed was a large dog and instructed security to remove it.
By the time security arrived the animal and the box it was in had disappeared.

He said the hotel did not know it was a kangaroo until they were contacted by gardaí yesterday.
The hotel has passed on CCTV footage of the incident to help gardaí with their investigation.

I cant beleive it a kangaroo at a party and I wasn't invited.

Wasn't there a penguin stolen from the Zoo recently and let off in Dublin city centre recently as well ?


There must have been drugs in more than the kanagaroo.

I'm not one for advocating animal cruelty but that has to be one of the funniest things I have read in ages. Complete scene. I'd say that party was some craic if that's what was going on.

Not that funny. I'm sure the poor kangaroo was hoping mad

Nothing remotely funny in that at all, in my opinion.

People like this, the pedos, rapist, murderers, bank raiders, idiot drivers should all be sent to Spike Island to do a Royal Rumble style last man/woman standing, then the winner gets to live on Rockall to establish our soverignty.

Spectacular fail there.

Only a c*unt would find the distress of an animal to be funny.

This has to be one of the most moronic posts I have ever read on here though it doesn't surprise me given who posted it

Apart from zoos, where else on this island would you find a kangaroo?

FFS! wise up... this was wrong but hardly comparable to pedos and rapists...

People who hurt animals physically (like here) or humans such as pedos, rapists, murderers, raiders and idiot drivers are all the same. c***ts.
