Breaking: Shots fired at a house in Drogheda, Co Louth this evening. No injuries reported. Investigations ongoing.(twitter)

It doesn't "Look like" . . . . . . they definitely are being sought.

It was gas that crime call didn't make the connection between the two while saying it in the same segment and the addresses.

There will be more post on Internet about what herself was wearing than any crime.

I expect it's because they're hoping to put him on trial again for something he was apparently charged with before but the trial collapsed. They don't want the jury to be prejudiced, so they probably can't be told about this sentence.

Not sure it makes too much difference at this stage though in the grand scheme of things. Whatever sentence he could get for that offence would be much less than the 30 years he's just got.

It'd be interesting to hear the rationale. I wonder if it's to do with the impact on society, the level of organised criminality and the severity of the attack. A crime of this kind is kinda worse than a 'straightforward' murder in terms of what it does to a civilised society. For that reason the sentence needs to be very heavy, to protect society as much as to punish. It needs to be a landmark sentence that communicates to anyone else thinking of going down this road. Murder is much more common, and much more a part of society, terrible as it is-it too warrants heavy sentences.

Is that him? how has he 20 years experience!

It’s a very normal looking gaf very close to the laneway that goes to Copeland Grove.

I don't find it too hard to believe that he'll have been settling arguments in one way or another for the past twenty years.

Ah yeh that’s his mother’s place, wouldn’t have a clue where he spends his nights.

My name is Jonathan Gill, I would like to tell you a bit about myself and why I've chosen this as a profession.

I have many experiences in life with long drawn-out civil cases, tax cases civil partnership cases of my own and plenty of business deals going correct and wrong through wrong partnerships and bad judgement.

I’ve been negotiating and doing mediations over the last 20 years. And always found a simple coffee with a neutral party is more productive than years and years of paperwork court cases and spending excessive money for the same outcome.

Swiftly with no nonsense to make sure all clients are happy on both sides and also that both sides feel like they are winners in these situations we feel it's most important to resolve quickly and have peace of mind and move on.

He should have had a copywriter run through that for the sake of a few quid, and I wouldnt think saying you've had plenty of court cases and bad partnerships would make you look anything other than up to your neck in trouble...he told the Sunday World business is booming...lol

I think putting it in national newspaper only advertises his business and helps him out. Probably happy with that regardless of the abuse it brings.

you can open a shoe repair shop, does not make you a cobbler, history always catches up

I agree but Foley did create a profitable business out of same reputation
