    If you start a thread not everyone is going to agree with you.
    I doubt the story so what, is anyone going to lose sleep over it, doubt it.

    If ye are this sensitive god help ye.

    I'd be this sensitive too if:

    a) Someone wanted to murder me

    b) I'd gone nuts and imagined someone wanting to murder me

    or c) My incredibly well thought out troll thread was being derailed by your cold analytic stance.

    The landlord in question could be taken to task if an official complaint was filed with the PRTB, and the tenant with the knife could also be done under the Section 16 of the Residential Tenancies Act 2004.

    The landlord can be held liable if he/she is informed of an act or acts that go against the act and they do not act, and the tenant himself would be breaching the terms of his lease once he does the following

    (b) engage in behaviour that causes or could cause fear, danger, injury, damage or loss to
    any person living, working or otherwise lawfully in the dwelling concerned or its
    vicinity and, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, includes violence,
    intimidation, coercion, harassment or obstruction of, or threats to, any such
    person, or

    (c) engage, persistently, in behaviour that prevents or interferes with the peaceful
    occupation—

    (i) by any other person residing in the dwelling concerned, of that dwelling,
    (ii) by any person residing in any other dwelling contained in the property
    containing the dwelling concerned, of that other dwelling, or
    (iii) by any person residing in a dwelling (‘‘neighbourhood dwelling’’) in the
    vicinity of the dwelling or the property containing the dwelling concerned,
    of that neighbourhood dwelling.




    Maybe the OP should get in touch with the PRTB and see where he stands. Plenty of info on this site for you Duggy with links to the relevant Acts so you can check out the legal side of things.

    I think you've spent too much time on the internet there hondasam.


    @ OP

    Ignore hondasam, he's either trolling or there is something wrong with him. It'll just turn sour if you keep replying to him. You've enough to worry about.

    Yes you probably should have instantly called the guards while this guy was outside your door so they could catch him in the act but at least you are not hurt and that's what matters for now.

    Keep away from that guy, all it takes is one drunken idiot to lose control for one second to cause life changing damage to someone else.

    If the left hand of god says so, it's good enough for me. Good to see you reaching out to your client base like this.

    You're late to the party, I had the picture up but decided to take it down in case I need to pursue this.

    I trust other members can back me up on that.

    It's true.

    To be fair, if there weren't pics, Duggy would have had to GTFO hours ago.

    No prob, I expected some people wouldn't believe and, as much as I didn't want to, I put the picture up.

    I decided it was better to take it down in the end.

    Put all the knives and any other sharp implements into a bag and bring them to the nearest garda station for them to mind while that lunatic is still around.Tell them ye are in fear of your lives.
    Buy a bag of plastic knives in tesco.Also report him for threatening to burn ye out of the house.
    You should demand an apology too from the landlord for putting this psycho in with ye.

    He sounds like a total asshole but chances are he is a bully and is trying to intimidate you and flat mates so he can be king of the castle. If he really was nuts and wanted to kill you he'd have gotten into you.

    The gaurds hands are tied in situations like this. It is not ilegal to walk around in the house you live in with a knife nor is it ilegal to try opening doors. A very good friend of mine wss constantly subjected to threats from her ex but the gaurds couln't touch him, they said he has to act on those threats otherwise they would be locking up half the country every weekend. She got a barring order in the end so now the gaurds do have some leverage with him but only because there is a court order. Sure there are laws that say you can't threaten someones life etc..but in reality those laws are not upheld.

    OP write down every incident, keep photos etc just incase Friday is not the last you see of him and you have to get a court order. Good luck, thats a pain in the ass to be dealing with.

    Ah who gives a **** either way in fairness.

    If true it's ****ing mental and if not it's at least a decent effort.

    Besides, i've lived with a proper ****ing violent loony in the past so it's not beyond the realms of my imagining that this might have gone down as described.

    There won't be a next time for him to act up, I was given a number to ring next time he even as much sneezes. The rest of the housemates have the number now and know when we'll have to use it.
