    Cannot get my head around the fact that a member of our Irish Police Force was actually shot-dead! Reading the news sent shivers down my Spine, just gut-wrenching to think of it happening.
    Another killed at that scene also.

    The fire involving the travellers and the deaths we are still reading about there. The poor mis-fortunes lads. Just horrific!

    The homeless man in Dublin who was confirmed dead. Just incredible to think that in 2015 we have homeless in our Country's Capital. Oh God Love him.

    Car-crashes also this week-end that has led to fatalities.

    ^^^ Just in Ireland folks.

    That I would say is not all either. No doubt other family-members, more local, have said their final fairwells to their Loved Ones, some in Hospitals.

    Just One Horrific Week-end of Deaths in our Emerald Isle.
    Give your Loved One a Hug or Kind Word.
    Count your Blessings,

    It just puts everything into perspective. Like it always does. It's a time for communities and people pulling together. Highs and lows all weekend.

    We'd better stay on Boards.ie and not return to the real world ever again, we might be next!

    Joking aside, it's scary to think that the statement "that will never happen to me" isn't always true.

    And that Garda has a wife and 3 children who are in a very horrible 'place' tonight... not to mention the families of the shooter and other victims. The parents/grandparents, siblings et al of those who died in the fire. And like you said, those other people whose lives will be forever changed by a phone call tonight.

    Being mortal and frail sucks.

    Really terrible. God bless the family and friends left behind.
    Last weekend was terrible in the town I live in too. Two very young men both died, leaving behind devastated family and friends.
