    I'm from nearby. The guy that died went to my school. Was a couple of years below me.

    He's no loss. The bike was almost certainly nicked.

    I live in the surrounding area & to be honest, it's a no-go area for the Garda unless they're doing early morning raids when they're mobbed up.

    I have reported on numerous occasions youngsters flying around the estate on motorbikes with no helmets, PPE etc., & no care for other road users & kids playing on the street, all to no avail.

    I'm lucky, I'm a club member & on occasion have the lads over for a piss-up with all the bikes parked in my driveway.

    The local yahoos are aware that I have 20+ guys on call if they ever decide to mess with my machines & choose to give me a wide berth.

    You from tallaght? What club you in?

    Thats nasty and condolences to the the family if he was a genuine lad however i've had a couple of bikes stolen on me. I'd have loved to catch one of the scroats-wrap them round a pole and mend the bike with a smile

    we should have an unthank button to show how the trend changed on this! Stolen bike...more than likely unlicenced rider, no insurance, crashes killing only himself...sounds about right to be honest...pity about the cost of cleanup. But sympathy to his family for their tough time, its not their fault he was a scrote.

    Maybe it wasn't, maybe. Scum can come from nice families, but they also come from generations of scum.
    I'm familiar with the area so I was trying not to jump to conclusions as the article didnt give any suggestion it was knicked. I wouldnt put it past some sorts to rob someone in that situation had they been genuine.

    In the end it turns out he did, I think his mates might have written the articles too,
    Times, strick a light pole? what the frick is strick?
    Mirror, Tragic Gary, shouldn't that read, Tragically, Gary 20....
    No sympathy for the chap, enough of the scummy sort around and the Gardai are mostly unwilling to help, I know they've their own problems but, if I got it in my head to sort something out (unlikely, not worth it, might end up with a screwdriver in my ear), then they'd be all over it.

    Fella that died was an out and out scumbag that regularly joyrided around the esates. He was stupid enough to put videos on youtube of him doing so, with the account under his real name.

    I reckon it was most likely stolen in the first place and his mates got rid of it before the gaurds turned up.

    Good riddance, was only a matter of time before he killed someone else.


    Wheres his videos..would love to place some tasty comments....;)

    Please elaborate... What would you call someone riding at stupid speeds unlicenced uninsured in a stolen bike on a public road?

    Quote from the Independant by his father......

    "He loved bikes and cars and had lots of friends," he said.

    Irish Independent

    ****in terrible shame they were all belong to someone else who paid through the nose for them only for them to be taken in the middle of the night!!! Treated at the scene by a local nurse, she should have stepped over him and kept walking.

    A young man is dead. I guess I am the only one who was a bit of a tear away as a child and have sorted myself out now ... I used to joy ride as a kid and never understood the consequences ... I hate when people are glad that somebody so young is dead ... makes me sick.

    Dont think you would feel the same way if it was you or someone you loved that was stabbed, robbed, beaten etc. by this fella. Looks like the only thing he offered the world was his "age".

    But it was not and I am guessing it wasn't you or your family either. Anyway doesn't matter I just wanted to put it out there that I think it is quite disgusting that you are all celebrating the fact that somebody so young is dead.

    So if he was a 75yr old scumbag you would not have a problem with him being dead.....its just the age that gets you!!!

    I am not "celebrating" anything, The world is a better place without the likes of him around. If you feel so strongly about it go to the funeral and tell his parents what a wonderful job they did bringing him up.

    Yeah I added the question that you only have a problem it seems with the age of the criminal not so much his criminal record. And if he had lived to the age of 100 he would have tormented generations and so would his offspring!

    Yes, I was originally going to put that he has not affected me directly and I wont have to worry about him doing something horrible to my daughter or son now either will I.
