Two arrested over fatal north Dublin shooting

Michael Kelly was shot dead on 15 September 2011 in Clongriffin.

TWO MEN HAVE been arrested by gardaí investigating the fatal shooting of Michael Kelly in Clongriffin near Donaghmede in north Dublin in September 2011.

Kelly, 30, was killed during a shooting at lunchtime on 15 September on Marrsfield Avenue.

A number of shots were reportedly fired during the attack and a post-mortem later showed that two guns were used.

Gardaí arrested two men today in north Dublin in connection with the investigation into Kelly’s death, and are holding them at Ballymun Garda Station under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act 1939.

    Looks like a better use of a wall might be to protect them!

    Every time you put fish or any other type of meat on your plate, you are enabling the extinction of creatures like this. You can make up all the excuses in the world for yourself but it doesn’t change this reality. So if you are a meat eater then you should not be outraged by this article because you are death, the destroyer of worlds.

    @Pounamustone: Vegetarians go against evolution. Look at your teeth. They’re designed to cut through meat and veg. If we weren’t omnivores, we’d have teeth like cows.
    P.s My food shits on your food.

    @David: Like I said there are plenty of excuses but they don’t change the reality.

    @Pounamustone:
    I don’t eat much red meat myself but your post is sadly ridiculous. WE are omnivores.Some of us eat meat as part of our diet.
    Between five and ten per cent of our animals are carnivores. The Human Being is part, (albeit sometimes a destructive part) of bio diversity
    Just because meat is not part of your diet, you are not entitled to be so sanctimonious.

    @Ger Healy: it’s a long time since humans were part of bio diversity. There’s nothing natural about factory farming and us killing over 50 billion land animals per annum. To me what is ridiculous is you trying to justify your part in the destruction of the planet. We’ve evolved so that we no longer have to eat meat so we simply shouldn’t. I don’t mind being sanctimonious about that.
