Nothing, they're complaining that it didnt get any publicity.

Yeah, I figured that as they went on. Pretty horrific, not sure if I'd want publicity on Joe Duffy if it was a family member belonging to me though.

OMG - the fathers description of the rock attack - heart breaking. This murderer is a cruel monster.

Dublin_Mom

Should the consultant have really said that to this poor Mother????
I know they have to give information but no one should have to hear that about their child...

have to say, if that was my child, that gurrier would not have made it to court for a trial

SEPT 23 1989

enough is enough Duffy

shockwave

You can almost feel Joes nipple clamps getting tighter.

This is exploitation at it's worst.

Kids are out of school at this time, it really is much too graphic for afternoon radio. I know they probably see worse on tv and their video games but this is just wrong.

SEPT 23 1989

would you get a handgun into the courtroom?

On top of Vincent Browne's expose last night, shocking stuff.

The hit and run of the cyclist ? I heard that mother on The Last Word at the time and she went through the details of the guy behind it, but the additional details of the garda incompetence around that guy is just beyond ridiculous.

single vehicle accident

so sad:(

anyone got a link to this story in the press?

vicwatson

Id say this type of thing is rife - remeber poor Manual Ruedo that was raped and killed by a scumbag on release from Jail for rape?

This ****e is regular stuff. I see a scumbag around near where I live out of jail - he has about 50 convictions already and just keeps getting concurrent sentences by the judges - it's not them that suffer at the hands of these toe rags FFS

Another tick on the "great little country" box

Gavin was murdered the same weekend that the horrific murder of Eoin Ryan occurred in Barefield in Clare, that particular incident dominated the media because of the horrendous nature of it, it's probably why Gavins murder didn't receive the coverage it did. June bank holiday 2011, two young lads brutally murdered, God be with them

It's a bit rich for the likes of Vincent Browne and Joe Duffy to be lecturing on the joke that is the "justice System".

They're champagne socialists who pour cold water on any attempt to protect people from scumbags, then they drive home to their mansions.

They're just not interested in shaming the judges, etc.

these people need to talk.
if you think its discraceful then turn off.
this is not misery porn its what liveline should be about. God bless them

Fcuk, this is hard to listen to today. Poor family, must be devastated.

There are plenty of young people, both men and women, all over Ireland that have fallen through the so called "cracks" in society (huge gaping holes actually) and commit all sorts of crimes on a regular basis - anything from drunk and disorderly, assault, theft to manslaughter and murder - I don't have a solution, but the total lack of remorse and any sort of personal or public responsibility is absent. And, the sentences handed down don't always make sense to the average person

I don't think your point is a good one, where and how they live is irrelevant really.

But Joe was a probation officer who would have had an input into the system, and didn't be do a couple of live broadcasts from Mountjoy at some stage.

This word is the biggest joke in our judicial system. Scumbags are laughing at judges and their screwed up sentencing methods.

vicwatson

^^^ My point exactly - the judges live in a cocoon, maybe they should be brought out to after the nightclubs in every town in the country on a Satirday night and see the amount of scumbagness about - this might change their focus a bit.

They live in a bubble completely seperated from reality - FACT

Yeah, but Browne doesn't live in an area where there are violent assaults and scumbags thinking they own the place.

We all know that the so-called "bleeding hearts" change their tune when they are the victims of crime. How often has that happened?

Maybe if he lived in the city centre or got the Luas he wouldn't be able to avoid it, and patronise the rest of us.

Dan Jaman

Did I hear Joe near have an orgasm there?

vicwatson

"He was 34 Joe" "ok",

had that lady said "he was 15", Joe would be tutting away

The thing that annoys me is that the Irish Penal Reform Trust has had one of their members been put on the Council of State and given a fat salary by the President, whereas this group are constantly ignored:

it's one of those times to just put our views on Joe Duffy aside, this is an tragic case, them people you can just feel their pain, I just hope life is life for that murderer in prison.

Sick to death of this excuse (and that's all it is).

We have a country with over-generous support systems for "the vulnerable". These people have just opted out of society, and often times humanity, and our system spends so much time/resources tripping over themselves to make excuses for them whilst babysitting them for their entire lives.

Plenty of people in similar situations become perfectly fine, contributing members of society.

Agree that there are so many out of control young (and not so young) people Very politically incorrect to say this, but personally I think the rise in single parent families and lack of a Father figure is a huge contributing factor..

Before anyone gets incensed, yes I KNOW there are loads of single parents doing a fantastic job bringing up great kids....but there are loads who aren't...and other dysfunctional two parent families too

Call me old fashioned, but a child does better IN GENERAL in a stable family with two parents with a vested interest in bringing that child up properly
