    Lads try limerick :o, i lived in appartments in town for 10 years too and walked everywhere at all hours. I moved to limerick and was robbed 3 times in 3 years. What ages are the madigans guys now? They were elderly when i was drinking underage? (!)

    Alright, I get the fact that you're proud to be from Waterford - I spent the first 23 years of my life there, and always defended the place.

    But after moving away for the guts of a year, let's be honest here - the place is a scum infested ****hole. I don't care for pretty streets when I don't feel safe walking through them.

    Sorry can you or somebody else actually name some streets or a particular area where you don't feel safe walking through.
    I've lived here all my life and have very rarely felt unsafe even walking home late at night after a night out.

    I wouldnt walk down the road next to the Showboat towards the Quay at night or up or down the back lane at the end of New st.

    I've often walked down by the showboat to the quay,after a night in the Forum, and never had/seen any hassle. Granted, that's just my own experience.

    Jesus get back on topic.

    I only found out a few months back that Madigans was still actually open, it never looked open and looked the exact same as it did years ago when I was buying drink when I was 16/17 :)

    Hope the 2 men are recovering and the scum are locked up!

    Sad to hear that, I used to go there a lot in my student days in Waterford. apart from being the closest off licence to me a the time, I used to like it because it was so old fashioned. if you a bought a couple of cans, he would wrap them in newspaper for you.

    It really would. The two of them wouldn't harm a f**king fly. Will they even keep the offie open now after this? Wouldn't surprise me if they didn't. What must they be thinking right now. Poor fellas.

    I know that the 2 of them must have been through hell and for the price of a euro card it could make them feel very valued and cared for...!!!

    Thank God I left Waterford a long time ago. I do come back once or twice a month, mainly to see the Blues on a Friday night, the parents and catch up with the lads. Anytime I am in Waterford one does not fail to notice how dead and depressing the place is. When I am out on a Saturday night, one also gets a menacing air about the place. I could never go back there. The arse has fallen out of the town.

    Madigans Off Licence
    Manor St.
    Waterford

    They broke his fingers gave him two black eyes and he also has a bandage over his forehead, I was talking to him earlier on he did not seem that bad mentally so hopefully when the wounds heal he will be back to normal.

    Yeah was terrible but was really happy to see him smiling and still working, I thought he might of been a little bit scared to open back up again. I sincerely hope that he gets better soon, it takes alot to shock me but that attack was thuggery.

    Must have thought they had money hidden on the premises and were trying to beat it out of him.People like that should be put down like a rabid dog.Great idea about sending them a card.

    What we have now is a samll handful of people who are committing the majority of these henious crimes.

    Lock them up I say. Prison works!

    Unfortunately the courts don't think so.
