    It sounds like the Gardai have their homework done and are hopefully ready to press charges soon.

    Gardai doing great work only to be let down by the Judiciary in this Country.



    There needs to be some sort of referendum on Judicial reform.

    Whats the story with the shooting in Shankill, I know nobody was injured but very close to Bray all the same.

    Am I wrong to feel, Pete Taylor calling the dead man his close friend, tarnishes a little, his reputation.

    His daughter certainly doesn't want to be linked with him.

    People have different experiences of different people. Do you know no alleged adulterers that you would consider a friend?

    Yeah, i felt the same way when I read that headline, I was thinking to myself I bet some people will think he was in with him. (Whatever in means)

    Didn't see anything in it. Prob just teaching him early morning boxercise classes so called him a friend. Doesn't look like they ever knew each other outside of the gym.

    Closer to Killiney than to Bray.

    Leaving the types of areas out of this, whens the last time you heard of a shooting in Shankill?


    I don't think its a coincidence myself that this occurred so close to the last event.


    In my own opinion, Bray is no different to a 100 other areas in Dublin, it definitely has a rough part and always had but equally has some very sought after areas.



    There's a handful of areas in north and south Dublin that have a thoroughly respectable reputation as far as lack of shooting etc goes but I'm sure plenty of the residents are involved in high class crime of a different nature some of which is totally legal.

    I thought so too. PT described how the dead man had been his sparring partner and was seemingly close to him for a number of years. If that were the case, he
    had to have had an inkling as to what Pete Taylor seems to have gotten himself involved with. I am not insinuating that the dead man himself had anything to
    do with Taylor's unsavoury activities, but, unfortunately, he was caught up in them and finished up murdered.

    That's my point. It's not SO close.
    It's in a part of Shankill. Miles away from Bray.
    And Ratsallagh is perfectly capable of generating its own headlines and doesn't need to coat tail recent events in Bray.

    How can you have crime that's legal ?

    We'll just have to wait and see what comes out about the Shankill incident.


    Plenty of crime is legal if you know the loopholes and the right people.

    Whoever wrote that must have known how that would look to most people.
    Katie knew enough to distance herself from the boxing club, having already
    been estranged from her father.

    Yeah, when your own daughter uses the word ''estranged'' and comments like that about the club it doesn't look too good.


    I wonder did Pete think about the implications of calling him a close friend, I bet the mans family are livid about that.
    On the one hand it makes people maybe feel compassionate towards Pete losing someone close and being injured and then on the other hand...

    You pick adulterer as his worst character trait?

    I don't think that is a known fact either. It could have been a split

    Lots of people suggesting he's involved in the big feud somehow. The Gardai aren't saying anything like that.

    Then by definition it's not a crime.

    I hear there is a WhatsApp video doing the rounds claiming to be of a certain debt collector upending a lad who probably didn’t pay his debt.
    The video claims it was him , a week or two before the shooting , and in clondalkin but I have no idea if it actually is or not.
    Sure could be anyone in fairness.

    Video looks like its outside a pub or a nightclub, does he do doors ?
    Its odd cause the other chap in the video seems to be just walking by with a bottle of Coke in his hand but they seem to know each other,

    It would be normal for doorman to know the local junkies and troublemakers and encounter them a couple of times a week.
    Agreed the video looks like nothing more than a bouncer getting into an argument. Words are exchanged at a distance before they square up to eachother.
