    a question, the news states that the person was 42 years old, could this be someone different as the Bobby Bible who played keyboards in a bunch of bands over the years would be older than that?

    Terribly sad either way.

    I'm not sure if the horse was stupid but one would like to think that its owner has some questions to answer.

    whoever the owner was they might be in trouble according to the independent...
    The owner of the horse could face prosecution over the tragedy. Under legislation, the owner of a horse is liable for injury or damage caused by the animal to people or property.

    I didn't know him personally but my girlfriend did.. shame to see such a tragic death :-(

    RIP

    The owner of the horse will be knee deep in it, animals who are on a road and something happens, the owner of them is fully responsible.

    Such sad news. Bobby taught me for years as a kid. He had so much energy and enthusiasm. A legend in his own right and an inspiration to anyone lucky enough to sit in his class. He felt every note he played.
    A seriously talented musician, and a lovely guy!

    RIP bobby, you'll b greatly missed.

    I assume they're not a member of a nomadic group of people?

    Now the rumour is that the horse belonged to a well known family from a Co Waterford Village.
    Appartently the gate where the horse was kept was deliberately opened before what happened last Sunday night, if somebody did that they are pure scum.

    One of the lads that played in a band with him years ago told me what he heard but as everyone knows there is always rumours and I wouldn't be into the Chinese whispers so ill leave it off.
    When he was teaching my twin the keyboard years ago down in garter lane he was always on about one day owning his own shop. Delighted he got his dream before this totally tragic accident. He was extremely well known and will definitely be missed in town. Out and out gentleman with unbelievable talent for music. I'm not religious at all so ill just say, rip bud and wherever you are you willvbe having a great session with whoever's with you.

    To be honest bud it wasn't even a bad rumour, more of a sad rumour if you know what I mean. Anyways enough of that. Music in town is going to have some load of tributes/memories of Robby. Eddie coady was the dj everyone remembers and I honestly think Robby is gonna be remembered like him.
