The Murder of Joe Deacy

Has anyone heard a rumour that a fatal car crash involving 2 individuals had alleged significant links to the Deacy murder case. If it had I hope the truth comes out in public

I'm not sure how much I'm allowed to say on boards but the 2 people killed were meant to be as close as you could possibly get to the case .i.e directly involved.

FYI it wasnt recently but earlier this year and 2 people were killed

The individuals killed were well known to the Guards for other matters. That information was found out talking to a stranger in a casual conversation in a fleeting visit to the county. It just illustrates what everyone on the ground knows. The guards know exactly who was/is involved but cant prove it. What's needed now is for some newspaper editor with a bit of backbone to name the 2 individuals publically and link them to the murder of Joe Deacy so that their live accomplices can be tracked down and charged.

I dont know that. The owners of the house and their son have been publically named on a comment made on a facebook page. I think the parents were away on the night in question.

Wow. That might explain why every effort has been made to brush this murder under the carpet for so long. RIP Joe. Didnt deserve the sad end you got.

As was suggested, the local guards need to be told to step down and hand over all their information to a new team to begin again. It's totally unacceptable. The people of that town should hang their heads in shame. Someone knows what happened that night and should have the decency to come forward.

One of the suspets is a specialised agricultural professional that has a lot of dealings with Mayo Co Council.

Not with the current plods on it. They've had long enough. Time to up the ante and appoint a new team in as very public manner. That would really put the pressure on.

Even commenting on this thread is no harm. The more people that see the name 'Joe Deacy' the more that will take an interest in it. Fair play to the family for keeping it going, the pressure is on.

So just to refresh.. There was three people in the house with joe..

Mother and father asleep and the lad who was out drinking with Joe..

Am I right with that?

If they depening on one of them to talk now its hard see how case can be solved.. joe and his family deserve justice

A lot of it goes back to the Gardai who initially showed up on the scene; a guy dying of serious head injuries, a family who show indifference and don't even want to travel in the ambulance with him and the Gardai just decide he must have fallen down the stairs and leave it at that. Crazy. No attempt to collect evidence or preserve the scene. Vital blood and hair evidence etc. which would show where and who murdered him wasn't collected. They have a lot to answer for.

It is likely that they didn't want to ruffle the feathers of a family whose son played football for Mayo and the dad who works in a high level public service job with Mayo CoCo.

I often read people asking 'how can those responsible sleep at night'

They sleep easy as they are embraced by many in the local community, made welcome in the local shop(s), pubs, church and of course the GAA club, where the 'supposed' suspects are still coaching kids and actually playing, which is obviously a disgrace. A massive own goal by the club, who often get so much right in the community.
