This is really shocking news, Shane was a great guy. I was one of those GAA footballers he trained all those years ago.

May he rest in peace. My thoughts are with Kathleen and the kids.

KERSPLAT!

RIP

Biggins

A sad occurrence for any family at any time of the year including the present period.
My sympathies to his family and anyone else's at this time that also is so unfortunate to suffer a loss.

Condolences to his family and friends. A tragic event at a difficult time.

Lapin

Very sad. RIP and condolences to his family.

Please keep this thread free from trolls and smartass comments.

RIP.

The cause of his death is still officially unknown at this time. I think it's unfair to the family to speculate at this stage.

Game of football in no-man's land?

El Weirdo

Okay folks, can we lay off the speculation and local rumours of the causes of the man's death until we get official confirmation from a reputable news source? I've deleted several posts already.

Thanks.

My name is URL

Condolences to his family and friends. Tragedy like that transcends politics and it's terrible for a family to lose a member so close to Christmas.

Sorry el weirdo.

Terrible news for his family & friends to get a few days before Christmas.
Rip.

The Politics.ie thread on this was closed because TD's and others were tweeting about how outrageous it was.

publicious

Yep. That site is a real cesspit alright.

Pace2008

How's it gonig, Ma? When did you get on Boards? I thought you could barely get on the internet!

girl in the striped socks

In fairness to el weirdo he removed posts speculating on the cause of death, my own included. I just didn't stop to think before posting & whilst nothing bad was posted it certainly had no place here at the moment. That was done very fast.
I suppose when someone is in the public eye condolence threads are par for the course.
Once no one is being malicious or getting petty about his political career then I don't see a huge problem with a thread like this.
Many families get great comfort out of reading messages long after a person has passed & there's a possibility his family, friends & colleagues will read some of what's on here.
So it would be nice to have a thread worthy of their eyes instead of arguing about other sites or whether this should be left open.

Death and Taxes

Condolences to the mans family adn friends. Very sad.

My thoughts are with the struggling families, homeless people, the thousands of carers around the country,struggling single parents because of the recent budget he and others voted for and signed off, which spell even further hardship on people .. there are thousands of people who will struggle even more this christmas and struggle furthermore in the new year because of the recent budget he and others voted for. Comments like "he was a nice man" maybe he was but actions speak louder then words in my view and anyone that voted for the recent budget I have no time for whatsoever.

dumb ass

big_joe_joyce

very distastefull

sanctimonious too

partyatmygaff

We've heard the usual complaints about the budget over and over again the past few weeks and there are hundreds of other threads about it.

With four days to Christmas and with something as tragic as this happening, the best you can come up with is "He voted for the budget therefore I don't give a damn that he's dead"?

Go and join politics.ie - its for fools like u

kinkygirl

Do you really think this is a suitable place and time to vent your anger?

RIP Shane and my sympathy to the family.

TimeToShine

no need for that at all here.

PC CDROM

RIP.

Like poor Paudie.
Let us hope the next generation change their ways.

dvpower

Are they really?
Or are your thoughts really about how you can cynically invoke all of these groups just to get a cheap dig in?

BEASTERLY

You are a scumbag. Speaking as someone who has had a close family member pass away in 'newsworthy' circumstances, I can tell you that your idiotic post will cause a lot of hurt to somebody one day. Also, you have no idea what you are talking about.

eviltwin

Most decent people feel for those affected most by this recession but can still find it to say RIP about the death of a man with a family. I have no love for FG but at a time like this its kinda irrelevant what party he was in. He was a dad and a husband, a son etc. Its very sad. RIP and condolances to his family.

Kylo Ren

Your words are invisible to my dark theme, thank fook.

Put your political differences aside, please. A man has died today. A person who was elected by his constituency to represent them in government and work for the betterment of our country, regardless of what you believe was right or wrong in supporting the party, this poor man has passed away days from Christmas, leaving behind a family - a wife and three kids - friends, relatives, and so on.

Politics aside, this was a man who was loved, cherished and well respected by many. On a personal level, people loved and cared for him. He leaves a void now in many peoples lives.

I don't know him. But I feel for the people he has left behind and I know from the tributes paid by friends and politicians that he was a much loved man that will be very much missed on a personal level which is all this is about. Politics doesn't come into it.

big_joe_joyce

surprisingly few at politics.ie who believe the goverment has a duty to be at our every beck and call

plenty of a - h0les but not too many with that kind of entitlement
