    I've heard from numerous people today who the attacker was. Not mentioning any names at all. The guy attack someone else in broad day light there a few months back with loads of witnesses, and now hes released almost immediately after this latest more brutal attack. What exactly has this guy that he keeps getting away with it (tho he cant get away with this one surely?)

    the victim is from king street i think, and the actacker is just outside wexford(wont name names)

    i think 2 guards were close by and nearly witnessed it but im not sure about that one

    the victim is still in icu with serious head injuries in wexford general(last i heard), still dont knmow if thats good or bad cause if there was hope, he would have been moved to beaumont but if they couldnt do anything, they would have left him. or maybe his condition is improving??
