It appears to have been a traveller row which might explain the odd way it is being reported. For example, The Journal is reporting it as an assault in a house whereas RTE seem to be saying it was a traveller brawl in a B&B. The Times saying it was an assault while the Indo saying it was a traveller wedding.

It's a B&B known as "Palmerstown Lodge", judging by the photos. Reporting it as a fight in a house I suppose is still accurate since that's what a B&B is.

According to the news on the radio this morning, It was a brawl that started of in a house and escalated out into the street - not really giving much info

Hardly suprising

Wedding, funeral, christening...doesn't really matter what the occasion is with these people; the end result is always the same.

Have Pavee Point commented on the matter? They were quick to make a statement when a traveller was refused entry to a poxy church so I'm sure that they will be all over this much more serious incident too.

One dead, three in custody.
I wonder will they get a refund on the breakfast.

Nasty way to go.

Imagine attending a joyous occasion such as a wedding and then brutally murdering someone hours later on your way to bed ?

It's second nature to them folk. We have a few drinks and get a kebab, they have a few drinks and then go at each other with slash hooks and machetes.

They were at a wedding in Larne, then drove to the afters of another wedding in Sallynoggin and were staying in Palmerstown, sure do travel for the parties

And they complain when venues or hotels cancel on them when they want a get-together.....? Why can't they get-together in their own field and throw as many fists as they want and smash their own things, and leave us "settled" people alone without their family drama to put up with!
