Clearly a disturbed individual, that's not normal behaviour by any standard.
Big fire on the derelict building site beside the Clonsilla Applegreen last night. Seems to be a lot of anti-social behaviour around it the past few weeks. Could be an insurance job to get money back. Whoever is to blame is pretty irresponsible though considering how close it is to a petrol station.
Reports of a very serious stabbings of a man in Ongar at 7pm, seems to have been outside Dominos Pizza by the arch into Dunnes.
Other details have been posted on social media, but are not verifiable.
Unfortunately he passed away. May he rest in peace.
Man in his 40s dies after attack in Ongar area of Dublin
Yeah there was speculation when I heard it, but as the media has it now it's obviously confirmed.
What an awful incident, may he rest in peace.
Its probably a discussion for another day, but general anti-social behaviour issues in and around Ongar village needs serious attention and community action.
That's **** terrible.
D15 needs more police.
It certainly does, especially out on the fringes where Ongar is, but they can't be on every corner and the reports of this are a tragic and explosive incident which perhaps no police presence could have prevented.
Thankfully there had been a speedy arrest and hopefully swift justice.
The teenager apparently turned himself in.
You hear a lot of anti-social behaviour stories about Ongar. RIP
As a person has been charged, that's the last we can say about it until an eventual trial concludes.
I've been in Ongar village a few times, but never later than 7/8pm. Has it gotten worse or is that just anecdotal?
It's a bit restless on weekends, especially around the village square/playground/woods area.
Ongar for me is just going the same way as all these built up areas the kids of a few years ago are now teens and hanging around with all the usual problems that go with that .When I do go for a walk around the green areas almost every time I see some sort of drug deal going down .Its a great pity when we are told how so well educated we are that so many get involved with drugs and the dangers to them and their famlies that brings .
Education is irrelevant. A police presence putting constant heat on a location is all that makes a difference.
Any idea what was happening in Chapelizod today, road closed with garda presence from the junction with the Phoenix Park/Strawberry Beds? That was at 14:30 so had to d-tour through the park and then on way back at around 17:30 road was still closed with barrier and garda car still stationed.
https://chapelizodfestival.com/programme/ - Village Square had an event from 13:30 - 17:30 yesterday.
Lots of sirens and police chopper just a few minutes ago near Ongar, wonder what it was
Monday of this week, 5 youths smashed in the front windows and attempted to kick in the door of a house in Clonsilla at approx 9pm (so still daylight), as well as breaking a window of a car parked in the driveway.
The increasing lawlessness is by no means limited to the city centre, it would seem.
Any ideas where in Clonsilla this was (I don't mean specific address)?
I'll narrow it down to say it was in one of the Limelawn/Aspen/Sorrel estates if that's any help? I'd prefer not to be any more specific than that.
Any info as to whether this was a random attack or deliberate targeting for some reason?
Not really in the business of speculation, I posted simply to report the facts of the incident of which I'm aware.
I didn't ask for speculation, I asked was there information. If there is not, I didn't expect someone to go making it up.
Short of asking those directly involved, anything that could be offered would be speculation. And even if there was something more concrete indicating targeting, posting it here would have the potential to be defamatory to those involved, something in which I also have no interest, so I'll limit myself to the facts as already stated.
A man in his 40's has reportedly been shot and wounded in the neck, in an attack on him at an obviously busy Browne's Steakhouse on Main Street, Blanchardstown.
Happy Christmas D15ers.
Edit: Update at 22.40
Gardaí have confirmed one fatality of a man in his 20s, while a man in his 40s receives treatment for serious gunshot wounds at Connolly Hospital.
Garda hospitalised after being struck by car in Castleknock attack. No mention of development. Hope the Garda is ok

Sounds mental for Castleknock? Knocking over a guard and ramming other cars? No update since on this incident? Or the closure of beechpark avenue the next day?
Looking at the news they seem to be separate incidents. 1am and 9am
