Michael, I understand and share the sadness and anger behind your post. What happened is horrific, and it’s something no family or community should ever have to endure.
At the same time, I think it’s important that we look at the full picture of violence against women. The majority of women who are murdered or abused in Ireland are harmed by Irish men, and that is something we as a society also have to be willing to face and confront honestly.
The statement ‘We have allowed Ireland to become a country where welfare migrants kill young women’ absolves the fact that the majority of young women are murdered and abused at the hands of Irish men.
I say this not to dismiss your point, but because I believe the wider issue is the tolerance and acceptance of how women are treated in our communities. That culture of silence and minimising abuse is something many of us have seen firsthand. I have personally experienced harassment, stalking, and abuse for simply believing and supporting a woman when she spoke about her abuser, and no one should face that for doing the right thing.
We should be able to stand against violence towards women in all forms, no matter who the perpetrator is, and work towards a society where women are safe and believed.
I also stand with Ryan and continue to pray for his peace, healing, and safety. Thankyou for your voice and speaking out.
Shels game is back on because of a stroke of luck - a fan at the game who works for the ESB came forward and asked to look at the problem. He identified that it was a straightforward fix and was able to dial the on-call team who made it out in 10 mins and fixed it.
“I’m speaking on behalf of these fans and this football club….. this our rewards, our just rewards. We deserve this, we deserve this big time.”
Days like today make it all worthwhile.

I can’t help but think if this family were from what was deemed to be a lower class, they’d be hurled into the back of Garda vans and you’d never see them again. They are MENACES and it’s insane that they can get away with these levels of harassment
