    Lovely words from Anas Mam and Dad . At the end of the day it is they who need our love and support . Lets keep Ana in our hearts and do not give the boys and reason to think they are in anyway important . I am in one way glad they are not named and their photos splashed on newspapers , they must not for one minute they are in some perverse way gaining attention or notariety
    Ana photo is in all our hearts and memories , let the boys sink into oblivion

    Lovely words from Ana's parents, and so so heartbreaking.

    Their grief and loss is unimaginable and they have maintained such enormous dignity throughout.

    It's all so wrong. Ana should be now studying for her Junior Cert. Her parents should be living the ordinary lives of millions of others. It's just all so wrong.

    They have told us about their beautiful, loving, and deeply loved daughter.
    We can do one small thing for them. We can keep Ana in our hearts.

    So boy A is now on the sex offenders list. I seem to remember there is a duration for this, depending on the severity of the crime? If so, presumably in this case for life?

    Let's presume he at some stage is released and gets a new identity. I would then presume he is placed again on the sex offenders list under his new name?

    These sex offenders lists are not public?

    Will this boy be forced to have psychiatric treatment during his detention? Or chemical castration?

    Apologies for what seems like a random list of questions, but I am concerned about what happens if / when he is released. I'm usually fairly liberal in my views, but someone who has done what he has should never be let out imho unless we are near certain he won't do it again.

    Neither Boy A nor Boy B have been diagnosed with a psychiatric illness so they will not receive treatment for one. I expect they will both have ongoing input from a psychologist though.
    Chemical castration is not performed as a result of criminal convictions.

    i think its necessary for these boys names to remain known only to those who know them, or deal with them.

    what purpose does it serve to the general public to know who they are?

    i certainly wouldnt remember their names in 12 or 15 years and wouldnt care anyway.

    based on the willingness of sone to talk if taking the law into their hands maybe its best that the law is there giving them anonymity.

    let them do their detention and let the authorities offer them opportunities to acknowledge the horrific attack they carried out.

    should all criminals be anonymous?

    if not, why not, following your logic above?

    if not, where and how do you draw the line?

    if just in this case, that's unjustifiable.

    I don’t see what the point would be in this case though. In 12 years everyone will have forgotten anyway and it’ll end up causing the parents hassle.

    i can only just point to the questions above tbh.

    The lack of help for people with mental health issues in this country is shocking. The case above is completely different to these two boys who don't have mental health issues. That is what is so shocking: that they don't have psychiatric problems.

    I feel sure that they do but society has yet to be able to diagnose whatever it is that's wrong with them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,713 ✭✭✭cloudatlas


    Glad to see that people on here aren’t just neatly stating that these boys were ‘evil’ or mentally ill but there’s another thread that is saying that ‘rape culture’ isn’t a thing and a disavowing of the view that women are seen as ‘things’ rather than people in a lot of societal discourse and imagery along with there being a lack of empathy in narratives about why these things happen to women.

    There's clearly something wrong with both of them, the disturbing thing is, it either hasn't been diagnosed or they haven't seen the right person yet

    It’s 26 years since the James Bolger murder and I would say a significant number of people who are old enough remember the names of the guys responsible in this case and James Bolger has never been forgotten.......so I think you are very incorrect with your first sentance

    Why do so many people on this site refer to A and B as ’ scrotes’.......what is a scrote does it come from ‘scrotum’, maybe I’m just showing my age

    The one problem I have with this is that once they are freed they get to carry on an anonymous life. Any future partner of theirs could find themselves in a situation where they are married and have kids with a man who brutally murdered / was an accessory to a brutal murder as a teen and may not even know this. Imagine your daughter finding out this about the husband / partner she has lived with for years. Would you want that - I know I wouldn’t.

    The easy solution to this is to make sure that the prospective partner has been Garda vetted - pick a teacher or a nurse or a GAA coach or whatever.

    The medical community have been trying to figure that out for donkeys. They still can't agree. Are people born bad? Is it upbringing? or is it a combination?

    Whereas anybody with functional eyes can see that some people are just born bad. There's too much bolloxology and an unwillingness these days to call a spade a spade - you can see in some kids from a very early age that they are just destined to be nasty people. You can't tell with some people and unfortunately those tend to be the really bad ones, but the run of the mill scumbags - you can spot that by first or second class generally speaking. For some reason people don't like to admit this and clamber for all manner of stupid reasons / excuses to explain their actions.

    Some people are just bad to the core. It's just a fact of life.

    No they’ve been examined by medical professionals who’ve found no psychiatric illness. Nothing to do with society


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,420 ✭✭✭splinter65


    I have two

    And you’d leave both of them in a ditch and disappear.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 818 ✭✭✭Hal3000


    I think the comment from the judge about them getting another chance at a life wasn’t necessary. That would be a very hard comment for me to digest as a parent sitting in that courtroom.

    back in the day people were just locked up in the looney bin. I'd be certain there's something wrong with these two we just don't have a name for it yet, that's all I'm saying.

    You can't just ask for Garda vetting as you apply for a marriage license or apply for a mortgage.
    I suspect there'd be no need to apply for a mortgage though, if the state wants to keep these individuals anonymous, I guess their lives will be funded by the state, rent, state payments etc. How could they ever apply for a job without disclosing even their education?
    To remain anonymous is ludicrous. I wouldn't want my 14 year old daughter to meet up with one of them in a club in 15 years time. And that's the reality of they are protected. In 15 years time, they'll be back in society with my children.

    I took that comment as a reference to the future reviews of their sentences, warning them that if they did not avail of the opportunities to work on themselves and strive for rehabilitation their review would not go in their favour.

    I have no evidence to this only what other have stated. Central to these satanic things is the offering of human life which could be well be part of it. I have no doubt for Boy A the sex assault was big part of it and for Boy B the voyeurism of it all in he stayed to watch to the end.

    There’s been a flood of commentary in the Irish media about this horrible crime but the boys’ motives are still a mystery. I don’t believe they can be rehabilitated until they make a proper confession. Top marks to the Garda for getting a conviction against Boy A, the “mastermind” of this crime.

    Everyone is talking about the porn found on Boy A’s phone but no-one considers whether anything similar was on Boy B’s phone. The Garda never recovered significant data from Boy B’s phone because he “lost” two smart phones. Porn may well de-sensitise people but has it ever been a motive for murder.

    Why is it only the British media that mention the Satanic link? This is the only obvious motive but a curtain of silence has fallen.

    I think the boys are evil to the core. I think there is obviously serious psychological issues at play also and they should be committed to the central mental hospital for the rest of their natural live. No way can anyway be right in the head to commit a premeditated crime like that.

    Their motive was to fulfil their evil fantasies and they will be free with long lives ahead of them to carry this out again with full anonymity.

    No. Their lives won't be funded by the state after they are released. That is the reason for the anonymity really. If their names were released they would have to be given new identity's and setup with a new life. The state has no onus to do this now. Plenty of jobs available without having to go into education, especially primary and secondary education. I can't remember the last time I looked at someone's CV and checked the secondary education on it.

    .

    The judge ordered psychological reports on both of the boys, hence the delay in sentencing; and it was found that neither of the boys are suffering from any kind of mental illness. Which makes a crime of such gravity all the more unfathomable, but sometimes normal functioning people are capable of doing terrible things.

    But they can't start to live life independently without the state funding them surely? Do you think they just won't be named in public and then start life using their real name in some other part of the country? Won't their records, criminal and sex offence be disclosed then? Unless they are given new identities they will never even get employment.

    I've found it's best not state this because although it is true most people do not want to admit it and will never agree.

    People finding out about it is ok, it may be assessed if that puts them in danger of being attacked and they could get new identities based on that.

    no they are not mentally ill imo.
    psychopathy is not a mental illness.

    they ARE evil, scheming, manipulative, twisted, little $hitbags who lack empathy.
    i have no doubt they got a kick/thrill out of this terrible crime, and in all probability will re offend given the opportunity.

    the sentences handed down are far too lenient.

    Go back and read my post.

    Tell your daughter to limit her relationships to people that HAVE been Garda vetted - loads of options out there.

    I'm unfamiliar on how this works. Can you get people you wish to date Garda vetted or do you mean only date people who have a job that requires vetting?
    If the boys had been 18 before committing this crime would they have been safe to date once vetted?
