    There are concerns among prison sources that the violent thug, whose release coincides with the Electric Picnic, which is taking place in nearby Stradbally, may celebrate his new-found freedom by going to the festival.
    This year’s Electric Picnic is expected to attract an audience of 57,500 people over the course of the weekend.


    A bloke with a knife got into the festival on Sunday, but the knife was taken from him.
    There wasn't much reported about it but he was caught and brought to court today. The security at the festival were convinced this person was genuinely going to stab some people.

    Nice mention for Electric Picnic at the end.

    Because this is our justice system. Regardless of how violent or how much of a probability there is, they will be left out. He's been left out a year early from a 9 year sentence he got in 2011. With over 250 P19's, it's unfathomable to think he is getting early release... The sooner someone offs this scum the better. And yes, he's scum. Read the article and you will see why. Admitting he deliberately tried to go for organs on the second stabbing victim, and would have only 'his bird got in the way'. Jesus suffering christ he should be locked up for life or put down.

    Maybe put into some sort of penal servitude where he'll break rocks for his food and be flogged if he has an attitude problem.

    Only six years for stabbing two people is amazingly low sentence considering the amount of previous convictions. Violent crime in this country needs much more serious sentencing.

    Surely attacking prison officers are crimes in their own right, should be prosecuted in their own right, and should be sentenced in their own right.

    I'm fairly liberal on most things. But a system that allows Larry Murphy walk free is rotten.

    This is now a “compassionate” progressive country where civil liberties people are one of a number of small groups who dictate how we approach “issues”.
    Apparently prison doesn’t solve any problems at all and millions of €s need to be poured instead into investigating why he is the way he is and what the rest of us should do to change our behavior so as to not make him, and others like him, so angry.
    Don’t forget, it’s society's fault that he’s the way he is, not his responsibility.
    Forget about committing him to a psychiatric unit either.
    Psychopaths have rights which trump yours.

    I don't think the judiciary could be counted as progressive civil liberties people. There isn't some snowflake, SJW group or whatever Americanism the kids are using these days making laws and handing down sentencing.
    This kind of propaganda lets the real culprits off the hook IMO.

    They should be electronically tagged at least the duration of their original sentence and subject to strict curfews and probation conditions.

    There are no minimum sentences here and the judiciary are left to try and follow “guidelines” and are left looking at precedents when it comes to sentencing.
    Then prisoners are regularly granted bail over and over and over and over again despite being on suspended sentences already being out on bail and having LITERALLY hundreds of previous convictions, because their solicitor stands up and pleads their case, 100% of the time citing disadvantaged childhood and addictions etc.
    Again, not the solicitors fault, just doing their job.
    Why is it like this? Why are there no minimum sentences? How can people be granted bail? Why is this dangerous man wandering around?

    BTW who is the “real culprit” in this case?!?

    We should go full Suicide Squad on them and implant bombs in their necks.

    Clare Daly and Mick Wallace supported this guy in court during one of his many appearances. True story. The pair of drunken malcontents.

    I’m sure Mick and Clare will pass their condolences onto his next victim’s family.
    What a pair of *****.

    Nothing wrong with being a drunken malcontent. Well, that's the story I tell myself anyway. :)

    His age is 18 in 2007 but he is “now though to be around 30”.

    They’ve got their plum jobs in the EU now. Far far far away from any of the consequences of helping this thug to get his rights and entitlements.

    Do you think they have both bought houses in Brussels and moved there permanently?

    Who cares? They’re not here. They’re done now with having to deal with the likes of this thugs mother/girlfriend turning up at one of their clinics complaining that poor Johnny is in prison and isn’t getting his rights.
    They’re wandering around Brussels 4 days a week putting the minimum amount of time in turning up for committee meetings about wether or not a Cornish pasty can be called a Cornish pasty if it wasn’t made in Cornwall.
    Paul Murphy TD claimed over €1 million on expenses when he was there.

    This is why we need the death penalty.

    That's not what you said, is it?

    You would have the death penalty for people who have not committed murder?
