Just over a year ago, I nearly became another statistic.

On 18 March 2025 in Waterford City, I was the victim of a serious knife assault.

Like many victims, I trusted that the criminal justice system would do its job. I believed that once someone was charged in connection with such serious violence, public safety would be the priority.

Today, another family is grieving the loss of a 21 year old man following a separate fatal stabbing incident that is now the subject of an active Garda investigation.

Out of respect for that investigation, I will not speculate on guilt, innocence, or outcomes. Those matters belong to the courts.

But I do believe there are questions that deserve answers.

How are individuals charged with serious violent offences monitored while on bail?

The individual charged in connection with the assault on me was arrested, charged, and subsequently released on bail with conditions that included not entering Waterford City, This was after months of him hiding in the UK and bragging about the attack on TikTok saying if he gets jail he gets jail so what.

THIS IS PUBLIC IMFORMATION AMD ARRESTS HAVE BEEN MADE AND COURT HAS BEEN ADJOURNED!

reports indicate these bail conditions were ALLEGEDLY breached on multiple occasions, including attendance at events in the city all posted on social media.

That same individual is now ALLEGEDLY main suspect in a separate murder investigation involving another stabbing, with investigations ongoing.

This raises serious questions about bail decisions and monitoring of individuals charged with violent knife crime, especially when multiple victims were stabbed in one night in the same city.

What happens when bail conditions are allegedly breached?

Are victims and the wider public being adequately protected from repeat violence?

These are not political questions.

They are public safety questions.

I know what it is like to be on the receiving end of serious violence. I know how quickly lives can be changed forever.

My thoughts today are with the family of the young man who lost his life, and with every victim of violent crime who has been left wondering whether more could have been done.

Ireland deserves a justice system that protects innocent people, supports victims, and takes violent offending seriously.

Public safety must remain the priority.

How can anyone say horses don’t love to race?

Just look at Champion Hurdle winner Lossiemouth here. She knows she’s done well and is quite clearly delighted with herself.

🗣️ Andy Robertson: “I need to start with a confession. Not many things bug me, but if there’s one thing that does, it’s the idea that my story is a football fairy tale.

I know when people say I’m some sort of Cinderella Man that it’s meant as a compliment. I appreciate that, but to be totally honest, it doesn’t feel like one, because it isn’t true.

No magic wands have been waved in my direction, I didn’t win some kind of lottery to land a spot on one of the biggest clubs in the world. The reason why I’m a Liverpool player is the same reason why I’m captain of my country: I’ve worked my bollocks off to get where I am, and by doing that, I’ve been able to make the most of whatever talent I have.

Why does this matter? In truth, it doesn’t matter to me as an individual. It probably doesn’t matter to my family, either. It only matters because there are God knows how many little Andy Robertsons out there. Kids who are struggling to convince people that their talent deserves an opportunity. Kids who just need a break to get to wherever they deserve to be.

Kids who might give up if they start believing that only a fairy tale can save them.

I’ve never wanted to be a poster boy, but if I’m going to be a poster boy for anything, it should be this ― if you don’t give up, and if you carry on believing in yourself when others are doubting you, you can make it. You can show that you are good enough.”

Getting a small raise? That's gone.

Thought you'd start saving a few quid. Nah, that's gone too.

Insurance due? Dig deeper.

Electricity bill gone up? Tough.

Can't afford health insurance anymore? We don't care.

I recently got a taxi from Donabate to Dublin airport with Uber and it was €14euro, I then got a rank taxi back to Donabate a few days later,He refused to go over 80kmh on the M1 and then tried to charge me over €30 for a 12minute drive. Uber stops us folk being ripped off 👍🏻

So the slimy weasel @SimonHarrisTD doesn't deny "Ukrainians" are getting their cars repaired at your expense.

Instead he talks about how welcome they are, and how much they are contributing to Ireland.

Can Irish people get the same expenses paid? I doubt it!!
