    Regardless of the attackers probable skin colour/ethnicity, regardless of his probable religion, and also since the details are yet to emerge, lets not jump to conclusions shall we?

    However at first glance this does look like what has been happening all over Europe for the past couple of years, does it not?

    Expect to hear more of the "sure Irish people stab other people too" line of thinking.

    A lot of these folk seem deranged. Why take the risk and let them in? They are obviously not compatible with social norms in the west and would be more at ease among their own kind.

    Maybe they shouldve just sent this lad to limerick?

    If this had happened in London it would be getting more reactions on here.
    Also if the 3 places being mentioned are where the stabbings happened then the Gardai were not very efficient in tracking him down.

    Well that is true, we have to wait and see what the response time is.
    TV3 say the Gardai are investigating if it is terror related.

    The dead man who was stabbed is believed to be a Japanese national.

    Pretty sure the attacker was just after leaving the cinema before he started his rampage.


    Maybe he saw the new Star Wars

    it was only a matter of time before this happened.

    Before what happened?
    Unfortunately we're very used to knife crime in Ireland.
    If you are referring to random stabbings, we've had them here before too...

    The motivation for the stabbings is what deems it terrorism or not.

    For those upset about so-called agendas being pushed forward, hearing the usual cries for not speculating and jumping to conclusions is equally infuriating.

    Imagine seeing strong evidence of potential problem and those around you put their hands over their eyes and fingers in their ears, awaiting for said problem to be confirmed before reacting.

    The discussion of one extreme scenario should not be stifled by the alternative extreme viewpoint of another.

    There's not much detail to react to though, and I don't mean that as an attempt to downplay the tragedy or the likelihood of it being a terrorist attack, it's just that the gards are saying nathin.

    One Japanese man dead, two other people injured, Syrian man in custody on suspicion of murder.

    Briefing at 3pm and they can hold him for 24 hours, hopefully we'll know more then.

    the Yakuza in Dundalk? sounds like more of a punishment than an assignment...

    What are you talking about, the 3 places could be (and I think are) less than 1 - 2 minutes from each other. How do you expect them to arrive at an incident quicker than that?

    The three scenes mentioned: https://www.google.ie/maps/dir/avenue+road/Seatown,+Dundalk,+Co.+Louth/@54.0004495,-6.4026321,15z/data=!4m19!4m18!1m10!1m1!1s0x4860cc2e2fd1f3b9:0x4a89321f1aa28a9f!2m2!1d-6.3884445!2d53.9948004!3m4!1m2!1d-6.3785854!2d53.9963248!3s0x4860cc25bdb9c137:0x3700b87720727b4d!1m5!1m1!1s0x4860cea1a49fa2fb:0x7e63acc3299d5835!2m2!1d-6.3960974!2d54.0058016!3e2

    Good luck getting from the Avenue Road to Seatown via the bypass in 1-2 minutes.

    There is about a km of a walk between Seatown and the area of the Avenue Rd/Inner Relief Road where this happened. Even in a car at that time of the morning it could be a 10 minute drive.

    So possibly some sort of power struggle between the triads and the Yakuza for control of the Dundalk underworld.

    If some middle eastern bloke came within 5 meters of me I would politely ask him to stop his approach. If he did not cease at this point he better have a really big knife and know how to use it.

    Talk about hysteria! There is as much in this comment as any other in this thread. If you said 'dont bother' or they take their time on a call out then maybe!

    Interesting and saddening, terrible for victim's family hopefully arrangements for them go smoothly.

    If this is a terrorist attack, and as proper vetting of these war relief refugees is impossible, for the safety of the people here I wouldn't be against a total ban on refugees from these regions.

    Went for a spin, saw nothing in Seatown, Avenue Road is closed and there's two areas on the bypass sealed off.

    And let an opportunity to engage in some good old Muslim bashing go by? That's far too much to ask. If it comes to the fore that the travelling community were involved, it'll be like Christmas all over again for them.

    Because you'll batter/shoot/stab him for asking for the time/directions/spare change?
