    To answer one of the posters questions above asking why my brother left his laptop unattended while he went to the WC, which probably is the reason why this incident happened, this is typical of his behaviour caused by his disability. He has dyspraxia, not aspergers as one of the press articles states, and is very absent minded and naive. Anyone in their right mind would not leave an unattended laptop on a public train, particularily on a train heading to Belfast at 10.30pm on a Saturday night. You could say he´s at fault to some degree but the age of these guys certainly won´t help their case.

    Ah Jaysus, no it's not. Not to any degree is this his fault. He wasn't asking for it, didn't deserve it, and in no way invited it just by going about his business, the poor guy.

    I hope the law hits the douchebags who did it like a ton of bricks, and I hope he makes a speedy recovery, sickening.

    Hope your brother gets well soon mate:(. Horrible thing to happen especially around this time of year. I'll just never understand the mentality of people like this, thank ****.

    Most definitely, the likes of these pr1cks pick their victims carefully and presume no one else will intervene.

    It said in one of the articles that they could see he was on a gay dating website.

    That's pretty embarrassing for that to come out.

    Those thugs were probably just looking for any old excuse to have a go.

    Whats embarassing about browsing a gay dating website ?

    hope he is doing ok, can take a long time to get over something like that.

    Don't feel too bad towards the fellow passangers. Its a scary situation and is hard to intervene when you think your life or health might be in danger.

    It seems like these guys are operating like some kind of a cross between neo-nazis and the talaban!

    i.e. right wing, oppressive, homophobic, violent, thugs!

    I wonder if perhaps it might be an idea to remove some of the stops from that cross-border service?

    This is 2012 - I think most people don't regard internet dating as that embarrassing any more.

    Thespoofer, thank´s for asking about my brother. He´s doing fine considering the enormity of what´s happened to him. As you can imagine it´s completely taken over his life at the moment and probably will for a long time. The PSNI are making progress with the investigation and have said they will make a statement shortly. Apparently the CCTV was NOT working in the carriage at the time of the assault which is a disappointment, however this is not a concern for the police investigating the incident.
