    No maybe he was out of his mind on that super skunk

    No wonder there is such a stigma about drug addiction yadda yadda yadda.

    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.

    Some people think it's like the Lebanon or the Gaza strip, such an exaggeration. It has it fair share of scobes, can't deny that, and to be honest (I say this a native of Tallaght) I wouldn't choose to live in these areas. Just too much hassle, not from the vast majority of residents though, just some who ruin it for everyone.

    Some parts of Tallaght are perfectly fine, particulary the south/south eastern part and are getting even better I've noticed.

    RIP to the woman. Awful thing to happen.

    I wasn't saying anything about tallaght, my boyfriend is from there, and I think it was killinarden he was saying was rough.

    Ive lived there a lot longer than you, 20years.
    It is a kip, because, not only is there SOME "rough" people in it, but there are loads.

    Ive had loads of problems, in places like killinarden and cushlawn. And then there is the square, full of scum. I hate walking through it. Too much scum. Go to dundrum shopping centre, and you would rarely see any scum. Big difference
    There are too many scumbags in tallaght. I hate the place.

    Killinarden is pretty rough compared to most of Talaght, to be fair. Was brought up there so I'd never knock it.

    That said, this sounds like a freakish thing to happen anywhere.

    Id say its the roughest part of dublin Ive been in. Ive grown up in a very famous rough one but not there. Ive been in quite a few. Im sure it has its good and bad though just like anywhere.
    Was that where the teenage girl got shot in the back of the jeep?

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

    I had a dispute with a neighbour once and we didn't talk for a few weeks. I don't shoot my neighbours in the face when we have a dispute.

    Obviously not condoning shooting someone but some neighbourly disputes are far more extreme than others.

    Wouldn't ever knock it. I'm from there (80s/90s) and my parents and good friends live there. Just acknowledging that it has its problems in the context of the chat.

    Whatever way you look at it somebody's mum or sister or daughter is dead now. Because the person next door decided it. she's gone and wrongfully so..

    Are we sure it was the man next door?
    I think all thats came out is that it was a locally well known man.

    He was a close neighbor

    Are we saying he was well known locally as a gangster or well known locally as a fella that frequented the house?

    If there's anything good to come of it, it was the show of community spirit afterwards, when the rest of the neighbours caught hold of the shooter and gave him a beating which left him in hospital.
    You would have to admire an act like that.

    He wasn't a gangster ,he himself apparently happily married and so on ,
    Not a known trouble maker that I'm aware of


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,003 ✭✭✭Busted Flat.


    What sort of gun was it. That would give you an idea of of the gunman. Most people do not have a gun in their house.

    Shotgun news reports said handgun
    But shotgun was used

    I thought that was a bus that went to Rathfarnham.

    Violence to solve violence? Sorry but I can't support this. They should have just made a citizens's arrest until the police arrived.
