What is happening to our country? Violence getting worse by the day! Used to be such a lovely country to live in!

While we all have the utmost sympathy for the poor woman let us not exaggerate on the incidence of homicide in Ireland . Over the past fifty years the murder rate has remained at a consistent rate of some fifty to sixty such cases per annum. On a population basis this places Ireland at one of the lowest levels in the world.
42 dislike the truth.
Richie, There were two murders in the last 7 days in Clondalkin. A Ban Garda received horrific injuries in Swords on Sunday to mention but a few. How can you find this acceptable? I’m not interested in statistics from other countries!

One murder is one too many but the evidence shows that this is one of the safest countries in the world from a crime perspective nevermind what happened in the last week of month. Let’s not exaggerate and frighten people needlessly.
It don’t feel so bloody safe lately.. if its not murders its people’s homes and business premises being broken into and the elderly being terrorised in their own homes.. im glad you still think we live in holy Ireland though!
sure its Clondalkin, i’ve only known 2 people from there i had to unfortunate experience of sharing a few years of my life with, one and ex, the other someone at work. both seriously nasty people. must be the water, or the air, i dunno. the angst must rub off on everyone out there, the hard chaws and know it alls.
What a BS thing to say. You can’t just generalize like that. I’m from a village 50 miles from Clondalkin but I have friends there, 2 of the nicest people I know, born and bred Clondalkin.
AM GLAD SOME ONE THINKS THAT WAY. BECAUSE I DONT.
R.I.P. too short a life for that woman. Strength to her family this awful time.
Maybe I am just reading the wrong publications but recently it seems to me there is more violence to both people and property. I know the crime figures may not support this but for the last few weeks I am reading of more & more cases of mindless attacks & robberies.
I feel like placing my head in the sand. AND on the verge of another WW. Very scary.
Another young person is dead tonight, low as it is, the rate is climbing, 3 dead in a week, not what I or anyone wants for our country. Our children are hearing these stories on an almost daily basis, it’s not right. Deepest condolences to her family. RIP.
Climbing for this week, you wont hear of another murder for about 3 weeks, that will balance out the average one murder per week average Ireland has.
RIP
This week and murder what is happening?
Just shocking
I walk by those apartments most days with my son, I cannot believe. I always thought it was such a quiet area. Very upsetting. RIP.
What a day!
Right around the corner from me. Awful :(
Was only a matter of time for a murder in town, surprised it took so long tbh..
have your say
