Saw interview with his parents on Prime Time last week; so brave of them to bear their wounds like that, and they did brilliantly. Horrific story.

Poor family. They make a very good point about the justice system. Whatever about sentences for other crimes 17 years is way too short for murder. Should be at least 30 years.

Awful. Never met the lad but a lot of my friends from the Cavan area knew him well from the music and festival scene. Hit them hard for him to go that way. Totally undeserved. Yer man is a psycho, he had no reason for any of his despicable actions. Lock him up and throw away the key, he's little more than an animal. (No offense to the animals)

I saw the interview, his parents were marvellous. It must have been so difficult to do, but they wanted to make sure the story was told. Heartbreaking. May he RIP.

Hopefully that scum will do everyday or more of the sentence he received.

Not another shocking thread that we were all shocked by last week
