MURDER

.same.

It seems that almost every second night when watching the irish news, we find out that a murder has taken place in some place or other and when one of the locals is being interviewed they will almost always say "jeasuz this kinda thing never happens here, this is a very quiet area, never a sign a trouble...." this has happened so often that you'd think the whole country has been covered, yet you can be sure that next week someone somewhere will be on the news saying how they're absolutely horrified that this has happened on their little patch. It's time to stop the lies and find out what places still have a clean slate.
Where in the country has a murder not occured?

Back in the good old days when the country was filled with God-fearing men there were very few murders.

Is this the Bin Laden died in 2001 thread?

You can hardly take ten steps in this country without tripping over a battlefield or grave, if you're looking for a place free of violent death, Ireland ain't it, for better or for worse. You can probably say the same about most countries with a traceable lineage back to the stone age though.

Every time I see the word 'murder', the voice in my head always pronounces it like Taggart.

"There's been a marda!"

stupidusername

There's not enough murders if anything! MOAR MURDERS I SAY! Thin the herd a bit and all that.

You won't find a county in Ireland without a violent past OP


Not been a murder trial in Tipperary in a long while
But Tipp was always near the top for agrarian violence and murdering landlords and agents and other farmers in disputes.

It's why the Brits separated it into North and South, it was just too much to handle on its own


Every other county has their own story

No trials but there has been murders.

Oh right, hadn't heard about that

I remember reading the State wanted to hold the trials in the county where it happened

For example the first Nally case was held in Mayo where once it would have been shifted to Dublin

I'm tellin ya, they dug a lad out the back of a freezer a couple of years back. The freezer had been in use as part of a fish shop for some time while he was buried in it. Then a few years before that they found a torso. The rest of the body was apparently discovered in Clare. There's a dark side to Galway alright.

So you're saying the north is less violent than the south.

Maybe, dont know, just thinking about a couple of murders that happened in Clonmel recently is all.

Check out Marú

It's on the TG4 website

Covers famous murders and trials in Ireland, many of them decades old

Usual top class from TG4, they make RTÉ look like clowns

only last week they had this story about some guy who drank in a town called kilorgan in kerry and rte reported it as if the place was shocked and horrified yet around the same time (within a week) rte were also reporting on a murder trial on in killarney which is about a 15mins drive from kilorgan.

Theres never been a murder in Roscrea in its recent civilised history, we have had manslaughter. Rape and non fatal stabbings have occurred also.

You see "a few" is relative. To you it might be 3 years, to me it might be 20 years.

Narrow it down a bit.

Last big murder case I remember near us was across the Shannon in East Clare

Brendan Patrick O'Donnell, triple killer

That was a long while ago, probably fifteen years or more

Really? A big whooo haaa?? Thats mature. It was a "big whooo haaa"

You can make a comparison between a village of about 220 people to a city of
91,000???

yes, it was to the people of that area at the time but if they broadened their gaze they'd realise that this kinda stuff happens allover the country all the time and that their little 9/11 event was no biggie
