    I think it is wholly inappropriate that they announce the quiz winner after such a sensitive interview.

    Unfortunately for Gearoid,the Aussie wasnt going to wait to be hit before deciding what to do.

    Hence why his self defence claim doesn't really wash...

    Was the defendent worried that any apology may be used (possibly in a future appeal) as a proof of guilt... ? Like the way that if you have a car accident you are told not to admit guilt?

    She says she accepts the acquital but she hasn't really. What she is doing on a second rate tv show is beyond me. It's totally inappropriate and will not help her in the long run and she wil regret it.

    Watched the video, the attacker is a cowardly s.o.b. He went straight for him... If I thought someone was going to be hostile i'd avoid them and brace myself for any danger - not launch my self at them savagely.

    Well yes it is I suppose but they always announce the quiz winner at the end. What is more inappropriate? The quiz winner or that interview for a show like this?

    I don't think it was a sensitive interview because the mother is so strong, she comes across as a bit cold. Sorry.

    lots of young irish lads heading to Oz now, hopefully it'll make them a bit more aware of how easily things can go wrong.

    Yes dignity, she can speak so clearly and as been mentioned already by others, so honestly. You might see her as being a bit cold, I see her as being realistic a hard thing to be in a situation like hers.

    No. Dignity is not appearing on a chat show,that will show CCTV footage of the incident that killed your son.

    I think this story would have been better served on something like Pat Kenny's radio show than on The Saturday Night Show. It doesn't seem like the appropriate place to discuss it.

    Does it not show you how easily life can be taken away?

    Actually,

    dignity - the quality of being worthy of esteem or respect; "showed his true dignity when under pressure"

    Seems about right to me.

    I've watched the punch a few times.. (he threw a second punch that didnt connect so there was really only one significant blow)... The guy was small, and of thin build... If you look at two BIG guys hitting each other, in a bare knuckle fight ... THIS IS VERY GRAPHIC btw ...

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ral24SxZjZk


    They beat lumps out of each other and are both fine now.. same with cage fighters, and travellers bare knuckle fights (like those featured in the documentary on RTE a few weeks ago)..

    This would lead me to think that Gearóid was just very unlucky that he got hit in a part of his body where he had a weakness, possibly exacerbated by the weekend's drinking..

    His mother is very admirable though..

    What seems right? She had absolutely no reason to go on that show and going on a light entertainment show to talk about your sons premature death when he was drunk and saying you expected he might wind up that way does not speak dignity to me.
    In fact the woman was misguided in doing so and may still be traumatised. Going on that show was not a good idea and it was not dignified. Just because she didn't burst into tears or rant and rave does not bestow her with dignity.
    I know what dignity is.

    I do know that deaths like these happen all the time, but most of the time people go into themselves, I just think that it is very brave of this woman to speak openly.

    I've seen it before, it is a great film! I remember the battles on and off the track between Senna and Prost. Today's F1 is very dull by comparison.
