Mod note - This is a tragic event and details will not become clear for a number of days. Can we all exercise a bit of cop on and avoid unnecessary speculation and rumors, particularly from anyone who may or may not have 'local knowledge'. Thanks


Second Mod note - OK I see we're getting clever about speculation
It's now being dressed up as "I read in the papers..." with no link provided, or "I'm not speculating but..." then a very oddly specific hypothetical example is given. Let me be clear - any more speculating and this thread will be closed

Awful situation.

Such a horrible loss of life.

All over a will and a farm.

The mind boggles.

Could be anything, not necessarily a will and land.

Second post saying the same thing, editing for clarity

Very bleak news. Hard to believe a will alone could drive such a horrific situation.

Thank be to Jesus these are rare and we don't have a gun fetish like one country in particular.
The stricter our gun laws, the better.

I'd imagine there will be a call for more stringent gun controls after this ,not that it would make any kind of difference here

Nonsense. Our gun laws are amongst the strictest in the world.

Very easy to obtain a firearm in this country illegally. Adding additional rules won't protect anyone.

The report in the IT states that Gardai were aware that there were three licensed guns on the premises.

Anyway it's a total tragedy and that's the truth.

Don't think we can make our gun laws any stricter.

Rip to those who died.

Yeah terrible news, Town is in shock here.
ERU were flown in by The Air Corp as situation was fluid at the time. Also Search and rescue helicopter arrived with emergency doctors and equipment.
Supposedly over a will. Not sure who the instigator of the shooting was just yet

What ages are the deceased ?

Gardaí not looking for anyone else on connection with the incident. RIP

very sad, good to see from the report a woman made it to neighbours so at least it wasn't any worse than it is

Id say there is a bit more to it. 2 lads in their 20s shouldnt really be losing the run of themselves over their 50 year old fathers wishes after he dies. With the mother still alive as well. Who knows, horrible tragedy either way.

Family dispute , but I’m not going to post much more about it . The poor mother .

May they Rest In Peace.
