GARDAI are investigating the death of a woman on a Dublin housing estate today.

The dead woman is believed to have died of gunshot wounds.

Gardai responded to the incident in Killinarden in Tallaght this afternoon.

It is understood two women were shot during the violent incident at a house in the estate.

A second woman was also injured and is being treated in hospital. She is understood to be the daughter of the deceased.

Gardai rushed to a family home in the estate after reports that a man with a firearm was still at the scene.

Sources said a man was arrested and is being treated in St James hospital for unspecified injuries.

My partner knows the woman very well, he is from the area. Very sad and shocking

Something to do with a row between neighbours according to the Indo?
Shot himself afterwards and then arrested.

His defence will probably be that he was provoked to the point of temporary insanity, blind rage if you will. Won't hold up in court but can anyone see how he can react in this way. I ve had trouble with my neighbour and believe me I ve been provoked for a reaction many times even though I don't know or have done anything on my neighbour since moving in 2 years ago. It's a tragic incident and my condolences to the family involved.

No wonder there a stigma about mental health issues when people make comments like this.

Sit back and watch the thanks roll in eh?

Femme_Fatale · 15-03-2014 07:28PM

What on earth is this obsessive "Looking for thanks" sh1t about? Most people just post their view. The stuff about "thanks-whoring" seems the vast majority of the time to be all in the head.

jescart · 15-03-2014 07:28PM

Shocking stuff altogether, Tallaght is usually such a quiet area most of the time.

I'm not looking for thanks, I just stated that a comment made about cause stigma towards mental health issues. Which in my opinion often results in suicide's.

You only have to look at the first page of nearly every AH thread to see that thanks whoring is not all in the head.

And usually when a poster is outraged about something that is obviously just a flippant remark/joke, it is looking for thanks. Not necessarily in this case but usually it is.

This doesn't sound like someone with mental health issues but rather a dispute between neighbours that has gone too far. The women are mother and daughter according to RTE

Is disagree I think the poster was either making a joke or accuseing the justice system of being crap.
Anyway its a thread about a woman who was shot so I will agree you are right if you want.

Gael23 · 15-03-2014 07:42PM

The other Woman was shot in the face so she was shot to kill also.
Forgive me if im wrong but they dont sound like a nice bunch.

How is it known that it's looking for thanks though?
I know thanks-whoring isn't all in the head, but long before the thanks system there were silly messing posts at the start of a thread, and outraged responses to jokes.

Because the post wasnt slagging mental health at all. Anyone could see that.

Sir Arthur Daley · 15-03-2014 07:56PM

Are we having a Biopsy on thanks-whoring or a thread on the shooting?

Gongoozler · 15-03-2014 07:57PM

Kilinarden is a really rough part of tallaght isn't it?

Doesn't matter where it happened, neighbour disputes happen everywhere

Or that Killinarden is a lovely area that has some rough people in it?

Don't like the stigma Tallaght gets at times. Lived there myself for 3 years and never had a problem, not once.

There isn't really any place in the country that's "rough" there's just some places that have a few folk who drag the rest of the place down with them.

You ve obviously never had a long term on going dispute with any of your neighbours, believe me if you haven't you re lucky. I have since I moved in to my house 2 years ago and it's not a nice thing to live with. Nothing to do with me...my neighbour is just a sad bitter woman looking for something to do with her time. She would do things like start doing housework at 1am, till 2.30am, when I was in work at 6am. When it starts to affect your quality of life it can become physically and mentality tiring.

We have in the past and the situation was similar enough to yours, but there was never physical violence. Mostly just tense hostility and an occasional verbally abusive encounter. In the ens she sold her house and moved away and we have neither seen or spoken to her since
Trying to blow two womens heads off is different though

Shockingly enough Killinarden is generally the quieter part. Cushlawn prob worst on that side of the road.
