Mod note - This is a tragic event and details will not become clear for a number of days. Can we all exercise a bit of cop on and avoid unnecessary speculation and rumors, particularly from anyone who may or may not have 'local knowledge'. Thanks

Second Mod note - OK I see we're getting clever about speculation
It's now being dressed up as "I read in the papers..." with no link provided, or "I'm not speculating but..." then a very oddly specific hypothetical example is given. Let me be clear - any more speculating and this thread will be closed

Awful situation.

Such a horrible loss of life.

All over a will and a farm.

The mind boggles.

Row over a will according to Sinead Ryan from the Independent.

Could be anything, not necessarily a will and land.

Second post saying the same thing, editing for clarity

But it was over the will

sallysue2 · 26-10-2020 04:53PM

Such an awful tradegy. Poor wife/mother having to witness all this.

ChikiChiki · 26-10-2020 04:59PM

Very bleak news. Hard to believe a will alone could drive such a horrific situation.

Spanish Eyes · 26-10-2020 05:01PM

Ah Jaysus, that's awful stuff. RIP

I'm sure the story will emerge.

leahyl · 26-10-2020 05:01PM

This is just so, so sad. RIP to all 3. I’m at a loss for words.

Thank be to Jesus these are rare and we don't have a gun fetish like one country in particular.
The stricter our gun laws, the better.

I'd imagine there will be a call for more stringent gun controls after this ,not that it would make any kind of difference here

tayto lover · 26-10-2020 05:06PM

I’ve seen people flip before over land.
The Field stuff is still quite common,

Cork Lass · 26-10-2020 05:08PM

Absolutely awful - my heart goes out to that poor woman.

Nonsense. Our gun laws are amongst the strictest in the world.

Very easy to obtain a firearm in this country illegally. Adding additional rules won't protect anyone.

Spanish Eyes · 26-10-2020 05:12PM

The report in the IT states that Gardai were aware that there were three licensed guns on the premises.

Anyway it's a total tragedy and that's the truth.

Don't think we can make our gun laws any stricter.

Rip to those who died.

Santy2015 · 26-10-2020 05:17PM

Yeah terrible news, Town is in shock here.
ERU were flown in by The Air Corp as situation was fluid at the time. Also Search and rescue helicopter arrived with emergency doctors and equipment.
Supposedly over a will. Not sure who the instigator of the shooting was just yet

statesaver · 26-10-2020 05:18PM

What ages are the deceased ?

anewme · 26-10-2020 05:18PM

Gardaí not looking for anyone else on connection with the incident. RIP

frozenfrozen · 26-10-2020 05:18PM

very sad, good to see from the report a woman made it to neighbours so at least it wasn't any worse than it is

Id say there is a bit more to it. 2 lads in their 20s shouldnt really be losing the run of themselves over their 50 year old fathers wishes after he dies. With the mother still alive as well. Who knows, horrible tragedy either way.

byhookorbycrook · 26-10-2020 05:23PM

Family dispute , but I’m not going to post much more about it . The poor mother .
