    Its not a "Traveller Feud "either. One lunatic with a gun does not a feud make Whether they are Travellers or not.

    Eh, there is a long-standing 'feud' going on between two traveller families in the galway area for ages now

    That may well be true but what has that got to do with the victim's family?

    Of course its a bloody Traveller feud.

    No prizes for guessing the surname of the 42 year-old they questioned! A very prominent member of that family.

    Where did it say in the paper about it being Triads snubbleste? I only read something about 'rumours being discounted' that it was Triads in the story about it being a knacker feud.


    EDIT: Sorry, just saw GalGaillimh's last post. What's it got to do with the victim's family. Ehm, you're obviously not familiar with the various Traveller families in Galway, and the feud that goes back decades. THe victim is a member of one of these families. I'm confused by your post.

    Just because he shares a surname with some people does not mean he was involved with every Ward in Galway.Some Wards are involved in feuds and some aren't. His (the victims) family wasn't. The stories that are circulating about the accused and his immediate family are quite interesting though.

    The only place I heard 'Triads' mentioned is on this thread, and hey presto it appears in The Sentinel on Tuesday. It seems the paper got their information here - 'rumours'. If boards.ie had said it was french-canadian separatists in pursuit of pizzas-it may well have appeared in the paper as 'rumours' as well!


    Do you know somthing we don't GalGaillimh? explanation of three men in a pizza delivery van perhaps?

    It's just odd.

    Was just looking at the from page of the Sentinel last night and thinking to myself how would one explain the term "traveller feud" to an American tourists. Where to begin?:)

    Hatfield and McCoy?

    Or just tell 'em to imagine the Jerry Springer show with the guests armed.

    Ah, right, get ya now. I heard "matter of factly" in town on Friday night that it was Triads over a gambling debt ... the people down the smoking lane beside Buskers must all have been boardsies.

    I also would be VEEEERY interested to know why it takes three people to deliver a pizza

    Man in court over Galway shooting

    Thursday, 24 April 2008 16:32

    A man has appeared in court in Galway on charges arising from what gardaí described as a serious shooting incident in the city last Friday night.
    Anthony McDonagh, 37, of Tullachard on the Circular Road in Galway, was charged with possessing a sawn-off shotgun and cartridges with intent to endanger life.
    The court was told that a 21-year-old man, who was sitting in the passenger seat of a van parked at Whitestrand Road, sustained very serious injuries when fired on at point-blank range. Mr McDonagh pleaded not guilty to both charges.
    Detective Sergeant Willie Beirne said he believed the shooting was part of an ongoing feud between two families living in the city.
    Judge John O'Brien refused an application for bail and remanded Mr McDonagh in custody to appear before the district court again on Monday.

    The court was told that a 21-year-old man, who was sitting in the passenger seat of a van parked at Whitestrand Road, sustained very serious injuries when fired on at point-blank range.

    So he shot at them with a shotgun at point blank range but missed 2 and only got 1 partially in the hand.

    Jaysus, talk about bad aim.
