Man stabed in Dungarvan

Man stabed in Dungarvan yesterday near tyre shop no reports on WLR or is it only another rumour ?

My folks told me about it this evening. Happened in the middle of the day apparently. What I've heard is that the man, who supposedly a Traveller, was stabbed and has died. Also heard that two people were involved in the stabbing, and were supposedly from "the top of the town".

Haven't seen it on any news media as yet, but they were pretty sure it had happened.

eeloe

Apparently, the traveller isn't dead, which is why it hasn't hit the news yet.

But if he does die, anyone living in dungarvan better prepare for mayhem, I can see their being major problems over all of this yet.

I heard the same thing yesterday morning. I was told the victim was stabbed and then had his throat slit in broad daylight (Hearing many different rumors today (Monday), one said he was stabbed in the leg only). Apparently it was related to a fight that happened outside of the chipper on O'Connell street the night before between two members of the travelling community. Not a mention on any news station so far. If he was dead but surely something would have been mentioned on the news if he was, unless they're trying to delay any news getting out while the gardai are investigating...

The stabbing happened outside the Spar on o'connell St afaik amd I heard the names of the fella who was stabbed and the fella who done it. Not sure what condition he's in but this kinda stuff will lead to more fellas carrying knives for 'self defence'
Hopefully the Garda nip this in the bud before it turns into another traveller feud

A traveller feud is the last thing anyone needs.

This is not a traveller feud because i know the person that has been charged with the stabbing. He was arrested in dungarvan last sunday for assaulting another man. He is just a scumbag and deserves to be locked up.

Seems it wasn't a fatal stabbing as was being widely reported around the town at the weekend.

So this madman just randomly stabbed someone in Dungarvan town centre in broad daylight?:eek:

a little bit of clarification--

traveller stabbed is in serious condition.
argument over drink/drugs
took place at junction of oconnel st/keating st (not outside spar!)
assailant has a record as long as your arm and has stabbed someone before
assailant is from ABBEYSIDE and is NOT from the "top of the town"

Tangled

That's exactly everything I heard (except the traveller died in the version I got) but I didn't want to post rumours. Can we take it that you can verify these details?

strokle

The rumours in dungarvan on Saturday were that the traveller was killed but he is in a critical condition in hospital I never said this was a random act I know the fella and it has to be over drink or drugs he is from abbeyside and has been in prison before. I'd say he is praying now that the traveller doesn't die because if he does the fella that is in custody will be killed in prison or on the street

The victim, who received serious injuries, is believed to be in a critical condition in Waterford Regional Hospital.
The assault took place in the town centre on Saturday.
The arrested was charged at Portlaoise District Court earlier today.

Why portlaoise district court?

strokle

Why do you think? Protection from the travellers that were looking for him in dungarvan!

CLARIFICATION----NO STABBING IN DUNGARVAN. The man was very badly assaulted, but he was NOT stabbed.

Do you mean the attacker was walking about or the lad who was attacked is out and about?

eeloe

Okay so, if (yet another) rumor is to be believed, there wasn't actually a stabbing, just a severe beating.

The attacker was moved to portlaoise shortly after the attack for his own protection i'd imagine!

A roll eyes symbol suggests that you are sarcastically agreeing with what was said before you.

In my opinion of course. What does it mean to you?

The district courts take their summer break for the month of August, no court sits their normal times. they normally have special sittings of courts to deal with important matters during the month. i would imagine the portlaoise court was probably the special sitting so the gardai could charge the suspect to that court for a judge to deal with the matter.

Manic087

I live around the area and the man WAS stabbed but is now out of hospital. As far as I know the guy who did it is in prison at the moment awaiting a sitting of the Court because they are on the August break and that's the only reason it was held in Portlaoise.

Also heard a rumour that if the guy who was stabbed had died then there wouldhave been plenty of reason to have been worried around Dungarvan but that hasn't happened thankfully.

Smiley Burnett

he wasnt stabbed and the guy who did it was and is walking around. Both he and his girlfriend, who were renting privately, got thrown out of their house last weekend.

Smiley Burnett

mcabe
