Tributes paid to 25-year-old man stabbed to death in Waterford

Yesterday, the Dunmore East Fishing Harbour lowered the Irish flag to half mast in memory of Jack Power.

THE YOUNG MAN who died after a stabbing incident in Waterford yesterday has been named locally as Jack Power.

The 25-year-old died after an incident in the Shanakiel area of Dunmore East at around 3.40am yesterday.

A 17-year-old was arrested for questioning but has since been released without charge and a file is being prepared for the DPP.

Local councillor John Hearne paid tribute to the young man in a Facebook post last night.

“I knew Jack, he was very kind and gentle.

“His father is one of the most respected fishermen in Ireland. His mother is a complete lady. They were great neighbours and a pleasure to meet.

“I know no words will be of comfort to them today at this terrible time.

RIP Jack, I will save my anger for those who could have prevented this for another day.

Jack worked as fishermen in the area; the Irish Times reports that his father and brother were out fishing when they were informed of his death.

Yesterday a friend posted that the Irish flag at Dunmore East Fishing Harbour was lowered to half mast in memory of “their good friend” Jack.

    No mention of middle lane hoggers? Merge onto motorway, move straight to middle lane, stay there. ( I know it’s probably just m50 with 3 lanes).

    @Niall Dunleavy: The article does mention middle lane Hoggeston Niall. It’s rampant!

    And than there are: fog lights on a sunny day, no lights on a overcast, rainy or even foggy day or after sundown.

    Correct use of the motorway requires knowledge of the rules of the road in the first place and in second place some road engineering expertise. The most blatant and stupid violations of the rules of the road are: the right of way rules which absolutely no-one and that includes the poor excuses for rule enforcers ( the guards), parking on zebra crossings, parking on corners, bullying with the car as a weapon, ridiculously engineered round about a an junctions, and last but by no means least the absolute ignorance and sheer bad attitude and lack of consideration for other road users especially cyclists and pedestrians.

    And where in the rule book does it say that putting on your hazard lights gives you the god given right to double park, illegally park or just block the road?

    If people were to drive correctly there would be very traffic issues on the M50.

    Putting on your indicator by the way, does not give you the right of way. If you hit another vehicle already in that lane you are cutting into, you are at fault.

    @mr non snowflake: you are at fault? According to whom the guy with the biggest mouth? The best lier, the cutest solicitor? When no one knows the rules including the so called law enforcers than the one at fault is always the one with the who is the least assertive.

    Overtaking on the Motorway, then pulling right in front of you as they lose their nerve, forcing you to drop back to safe distance. Happens constantly ;-(
