The Indo said he spent the day at Jessbrook. I thought the CAB stripped that from him?

His wife apparently has a house beside it.

Guys like Gilligan keep him in a job unfortunately.

Several family members visited the hospital yesterday but had no comment to make when approached by journalists, except: "I don't know how you sleep at night."

Is this true? If it is, then here's the reason that these so called "innocent" family members deserve absolutely no sympathy. These people have no concept of right and wrong. In their eyes the likes of Gilligan and his ilk have done nothing wrong, and it's law abiding taxpayers - Gardai, journalists - who are scum. The rest of us are just chumps.

There's a big difference between standing by a family member and accepting/turning a blind eye to what they do.

There's that Mr H mentioned again. Thread will close soon.

Icyseanfitz · 03-03-2014 05:13PM

so two lads tried to kill him while he was sitting on a toilet seat and ****ed it up.......... regular assassins they are

Taffy Kat · 03-03-2014 05:35PM

Are there still goons on here arguing what a good man he is and how he deserves society's love? Personally, I would have preferred it if, when he was in jail, he'd been bummed mercilessly every minute of every hour of every day he was inside and had died of unmedicated AIDS. That didn't happen, so if they shoot him now then I'm happy, I'd be happier still if they get some ex-Provo who knows what he's doing to do it next time.

It's quoted in this Independent article anyway, apparently it was his daughter Tracey who said to journalists ""Just turn around and go. I don't know how you sleep at night."

Now I wouldn't appreciate having journalists approach me for comment if my Dad had just been shot and I was sitting in hospital waiting for news, however my Dad isn't a criminal so I don't have much sympathy for them to be honest.

Williams often spoke (with seeming authority) on the millions that Gilligan had stashed away. Paul, if you're reading this could you possibly elucidate? Otherwise people might get the impression that you have a touch of Walter Mitty in your opinions.

The_Kew_Tour · 03-03-2014 05:57PM

He is pretty much dead man walking now.

It will be a while before a attempted murder on him will happen again.

imo the next time he wont be so lucky.

I wonder though will he try get payback. I would be surprised if Gardai did not know who tried murder him.

Taffy Kat · 03-03-2014 06:09PM

In my opinion this will put an end to it. He came out of prison thinking he was still the big I am. He was shown otherwise on Saturday night. I think he'll slink off into retirement now. In another country. With a different name. All funded for by the Irish taxpayer. Saturday night, for him, was a dream come true. Wouldn't be surprised if he put the "hit" out on himself, knowing what he stood to gain. He'll gain out of this what the evil f*****s who murdered Jamie Bolger got out of the British state.

The article calls him a murderer, its never up to anyone to prove they are not a murderer. If he brought it to court he would merely have to point to his own criminal record which, as far as I'm aware, does not contain any convictions of murder.

He is a convicted drug dealer. Drug dealer and murderer are two very different things. Anyway for all we know this may not have even been claimed in the Indo, no offence to anybody here but boards is not a very reliable source of information at times

The article, as published on the front page of yesterdays Independent.

I don't think he'll be opening proceedings, he'll most likely leave the country. Very stupid of the editor to allow it go to print though. You don't leave yourself open to potential million euro libel claims, particularly ones you will definitely lose if it were to go to court.

Wouldn't expect anything less from someone who idolises scum like Gilligan. They apparently stood two feet from him, shot him four times, and still didn't kill him. Ahahahahahahaha!!! Are you pulling my leg? Oh, but there was a door between them? A wrought iron one? No. A reinforced steel one? No. A heavy metal one of any description? Noooooooo. A flimsy toilet one? Yes. That they didn't think to kick through to get a better aim? Of course not. Oh those boyos were up there with the IRA, ETA and Al Qaeda so they were lol.

Grow up will you. Realise what Gilligan is, and see him for what he really is. And stop idolising him before you find yourself in too deep.

Where he was hit is pathetic. There was no possibility whatsoever he could've been killed given where the bullets struck him. And he's a manipulative evil c**t who would think nothing of setting something up to rip off the Irish taxpayer in exchange for a home in the sun. He is about as pure a case for the return of capital punishment that you can get.

Fentdog84 · 03-03-2014 06:32PM

i know its an awful thing for a pacifist like myself to say but i wish he'd been killed. It would put an end or some kind of closure to this sordid tale, and for Veronica Guerin's family too. As long as him and his ilk are alive and breathing, he's only a menace to society.

Thank-you. A pacifist with common sense. Personally, I have my own suspicions about those who say they think its terrible that he was shot.

Big C · 03-03-2014 07:24PM

Soooooooooooo glad he wasn't shot dead. He can spend every minute of the rest of his hopefully long life looking over his shoulder wondering where the next gunman is waiting for him, hope he has a lot of fresh underwear handy.

PS I wouldent waste anymoney buying gilligan any long playing records

Are you proposing that he had himself gunned down?

Shotguns don't fire bullets. The rest of your Walter Mitty-like synopsis of the crime scene doesn't carry much weight given you'd make that mistake.

Sorry, I'm not a criminal with expert knowledge of firearms and ammunition. Perhaps you'd care to enlighten us further. Obviously you have a lot of knowledge.

Those of you who think the post I wrote was stupid must live on the moon. Believing in the innate goodness of people. Hahahaha, what ye been smoking? And did Gilligan sell it ye?

As I said, I have my suspicions about those who defend Gilligan in any way shape or form. I firmly believe that man is capable of anything. There is only one reason anyone would defend Gilligan and its not got anything good connected with it. Work away calling me a Walter Mitty, but I'd rather have that in your minds when you think of me, than what I have in my mind when I think of ye.

It seems that, to you, anyone not wishing to see him shot dead or raped in the ass, is 'defending' him.
