I put this in After Hours, not Humanities, so that it's profile might be a little greater.

I didn't know Deirdre, but I knew her mother Christine who used to work with my brother.

I think a little of all of us has died with the death of Deirdre.

I heard this story first thing on the radio this morning as I was getting up. I thought that it was one of the saddest cases I'd heard of in quite a while. Seeing the picture above of the smiling little girl just bring it home even more.

My sympathies to their families.

Sad story, I remember when she first went missing, came into the canteen in work and posters were up back in '99. Alot of people I worked with went to CIT and knew the guy and it was the talk of the town for a few weeks and not a peep until now.

My Condolonces to her family

I really dont know what to say.

These seem to be more and more cases where you hear of a parent taking the life of their child or children.
Last year only there was a case where a woman strapped her 2 kids into the back seat of the car and drove them off a pier.

I just cant understand what would make a parent do these things.

Oh thats bad......
I havent actually heard the news today,
My sympathy to her family

I heard the interview with her Mum on RTE a couple of weeks ago. I hoped it wasn't her daughter when I heard the news last night and was devastated when it was this morning.
My sympathy and that of my family are with her's particularly her Mum.

It's weird you know; the past few months it may be my imagination or their has been an increase in deaths and things like this. How about that policeman in the UK? Killed his two kids and himself.

They say that gun laws in the US are bad and promote violence but it seems like that it can happen anywhere. All we need now is a few more disappearances like Trevor Deely and it's going to get even stranger.

Another one: the body folded up in a suitcase on the canal.

I've got to admit I am disppaointed with the Gardai in cases like these. A 2 year search? That is one hell of a long time in such a small country. And they missed that body near Grafton street of Paul McQuaid who went missing (last May) and didn't find it even though it was 30 yrds from where he was last seen for 3 weeks or so. It seems we have great work on clamping, speeding on motorways and drink driving, but very poor work in cases that are *real* criminal type things.

It's strange looking at a kid smiling and knowing they are dead.......you know they will never reach your age, or see any of the things you've seen.....

Heard the same interview. Absolutley tragic. Its a bit strange the way a couple of weeks ago there is a piece on the radio about this (deirdre was abducted 2 years ago) and then the gardai find her body.

This is probably going to start a war but our police force the "gardai" are a fvcking joke if you ask me. It really annoys me when I see things like this because it makes you wonder if they were any good at their jobs at all would she have been found in time.

My sympathies to the poor girls mother. God knows she has had what must be an unbearible ordeal to go through, that is now over, ending with even more sadness.

If the bottom falls out of your world, drink Andrews and the world will fall out of your bottom!!
games?

OK, I haven't actually met the mother in years, but I'll hold off asking my brother passing on the URL. Can people moderate their language given the seriousness of the matter?

Shadow, this isn't the forum to rail against the gardai, not yet.

Kill, kill, kill the laser mice.
