Women stabbed near IFSC has died

    The woman stabbed two weeks ago near IFSC has died.



    When was the last time we talked about building a new prison in Ireland? Back in Bertie Aherns day? The left has taken such control of the media narrative that locking these people up where they can't harm the rest of society has almost become a taboo subject. It's ridiculous. Are we supposed to just let these people continue to run riot, do what they want, stab and kill when they want and then accept a hefty suspended sentence?


    No point saying we need to keep them out of jail because it somehow hardens them....what nonsense. They're clearly still committing the crimes again and again while not going near a jail!

    The person who has been charged is a 15 year old boy. Your new prison wouldn't have done much to prevent this.

    Rip to that poor woman , unfortunately going by the justice system in Ireland , he'll be out before he's 21, to continue his life of being a little scumbag.

    Non violent crimes people should be given chances but something like this he needs to spend the rest of his life in a high security unit, no perks like tv etc and 23 hours on his own in a cell.

    The act of pulling a knife on someone should be 20 years minimum.

    Change the law so that children convicted of extreme violence are treated the same way as adults. 15 is plenty old enough to know the consequences of his actions.

    Bolt on a juvenile detention centre while building the new prison then. Job done.

    Agreed, he should be subject to the same prison sentence as an adult.

    Just pointing out in response to the OP that there's no indication he'd committed extreme violence previously, so a new super prison would have done feck all for this case.

    I dont think we need to fall into the crap left/right arguments that they do in the US as that just makes people side with what ever group they identify with and nothing gets done, In saying that I think a really harsh punishment for Murder should be introduced into Ireland and yes more prisons would work too, Real murder is the worst crime imaginable and just putting someone away and feeding them like they are a pet of the state is not the answer. I dont really give a crap if the killer was under 18, If he has the ability to kill an adult he should be treated as an adult.
    The poor woman's family must be devastated.

    Just out of curiosity , if locking them up and feeding them is not the answer . What do you propose. I've no problem with the death penalty in some cases .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 58,333 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    Pure act of evil.

    Despicable!

    Poor woman.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,122 ✭✭✭mick087


    Very sad that poor woman's family.
    These stories are very sad.

    RIP....very very sad to hear....

    Why is there so much tolerance for knife crime???
    This KID carried a knife & used it to murder someone....
    Not the first & won't be the last....

    (Extremely angry at the judicial system, people like this should be behind bars no matter what age they are - zero tolerance)

  • RIP to the deceased lady.

    It's beyond ridiculous now. Multiple stabbings in the past few weeks in an absolutely tiny geographical area. Authorities need to get a grip on this. Only a matter of time until the next one.
    I'd nearly call for army checkpoints on the streets of the North Inner City at this stage until things cool down.

    Poor woman, that is shocking news.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,146 ✭✭✭✭Galwayguy35


    RIP to this poor woman.

    Just walking home after finishing her work and this happened to her.

    Few years is all the little c**t will get and then he will be given a new identity and leech off the state for the rest of his miserable life.

    Rest in peace, dear lady :( sincere condolences to her family.

    I hope the charge is now changed to murder. This woman and her family deserve proper justice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 547 ✭✭✭RugbyLad11


    I can't believe she died. She was able to call her husband for help, I didn't realize she was in such a serious condition.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,633 ✭✭✭✭punisher5112


    That's absolutely shocking.

    The woman was going home from work, attempted robbery and the evil bastard stabs her...

    Wtf seriously where are the parents and why was he out anyway. So sad and scary to think this could happen to anyone.

    R.I.P. and condolences to her family and friends.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 58,333 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    When murderers can realistically apply for parole after 7 years, you know your country is fooked....it all trickles down....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,568 ✭✭✭KevRossi


    Most judges and legal eagles are definitely right wing, you need to ask them why they constantly let off people who have multiple previous convictions. Answer is that it feeds the circular legal system gravy train of free legal aid.

    The 'left' have had bugger all to do with the legal system here the past 50 years.

    The presence of a deterrent might have changed it. Atm, people who commit a crime like this know there's a good chance they'll get it off with a slap on the wrist. This obviously ended up as a murder, but good chance even if this was an adult who done it, he'd end up getting charged with armed robbery and possibly manslaughter and end up with a few years in jail at most.

    Punishment is way too lax in this country no matter the crime imo.

    There are open cases and people arrested after both these crimes. We really shouldn’t be discussing them here

    Spot on

    Been saying it years....there is next to no real deterrent for any type crimes here

    If there were severe punishments for severe crimes, you can bet people would at least stop and think....

    Simple: If convicted of being a gang member of a crime gang, then it an automatic 50 years sentence on conviction....

    There is one that would absolutely make people think....

    That is juts one scenario....there could be loads...

    But that one is a very serious one, as it is a person who is actively involved in a crime gang.....it all trickles down from here...

    It might of sent a message before this person could commit such a crime.
    Wonder what the family history is?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,051 ✭✭✭Daisy78


    RIP. Poor woman, shocking to think that a 15 year old is responsible for taking this woman’s life. One thing that really frustrates me with stories such as this one is the fact that the “alleged” perpetrator won’t ever be named, even if found guilty. You should lose your right to privacy the day you decide to take the life of another person, regardless of your age.

    I'm sure you'll be able to back up this big claim. I certainly didn't meet many right wing people when studying law.

    “The man who lies to himself can be more easily offended than anyone else. You know it is sometimes very pleasant to take offense, isn't it? A man may know that nobody has insulted him, but that he has invented the insult for himself, has lied and exaggerated to make it picturesque, has caught at a word and made a mountain out of a molehill--he knows that himself, yet he will be the first to take offense, and will revel in his resentment till he feels great pleasure in it.”- ― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

    A gladiator arena used for murderers, rapists and paedos. Let them fight for the right to live another few months.

    If we look at societies that punish crime severely, like the USA, crime is still an issue. Equally we can look at places like Singapore, where crime is also severely punished and crime is quite low.
    The issue is likely to be cultural, rather than related to the punishment.

    The inner city won't be fixed until the areas are cleared and the population that resides is dispersed as the problem is cultural in those communities

    RIP that poor woman. So the charge will be upgraded to murder but the guy will be out after seven years.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 532 ✭✭✭Turquoise Hexagon Sun


    There is a GoFundMe for her family.

    So sad. This really angers me. There seems to be loads of youngfellas just freely roaming the city centre stealing bikes, mugging people and mugging Deliveroo drivers.

    I certainly think some mandatory harsh sentencing for violent crimes and thefts should be brought in. Dublin is relatively safe but there seems to be so much violence again, especially to non-national, possibly as they're seen as a soft target.

    So, I hope they make an example of this guy. We're on the precipice of a huge social change. There seems to be a lot of new knife crime. Nip this in the bud now!!! Before it's completely irreversible. Zero tolerance to violent robberies and crimes.

    I also realise harsh sentencing is a quick fix. It doesn't get to the root. But we need to act quick. Hopefully, a few examples made and some of these guys thinking of carrying knives will think twice.

    The left dominate the media narrative, which influences whether to build a prison or propose/pass new tougher laws. The judges can only then operate within what laws have been passed by politicians and whatever prison space there is.

    Top of the six one news we hear the voices of SF, PBP, Greens, Soc Dems , Labour...every day we get about 5 or 6 left leaning voices on justice dominating and telling us some sob story about how the locals are victims. No wonder the country is such a mess.
