    The Irish Times site has named him
    http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2008/0913/breaking30.htm
    Would have thought it was a bit soon to release his name.

    Once the family have been informed, it is normal to name the victim.

    Not your ornery onager

    that youngfella was a friend of a friend, I met him a few times, he seemed like a decent enough bloke but got involved in some stuff he shouldn't have obviously. I knew what he was at but people being gunned down in my old neighbourhood? Jesus Christ. My mate was visiting home from Germany and one day into his visit his neighbour gets shot, we're all in shock pretty much, this is just sick.

    Man blocks doorway of bookies next to Ramble Inn.

    Locals upset- "I nearly missed the 3.15 in Chepstow. This country's gone to the bleedin dogs!".

    In fairness, these muppets aren't even making any real money out of it, if they were they wouldn't be living with their parents still and driving crappy cars. I think they're just doing it to be hard or something, and I reckon they're killing each other over a few hundred euro these days, because they think they're in the Sopranos or something. It's retarded.

    Yes maybe but even a charge in a case like this is a major improvement.

    My guess at the end of the day is that the lad made a few major mistakes which led to the quick arrest and its nothing to do with good policing.

    Apparently his gait is very distinctive and he was identified on CCTV footage from the victim's house.
