New thread - can I lick it off by asking wat to wear to a confirmation this Friday? Winter or spring clothes ?I fear I’ll be perished but I think the family will be in spring dresses ( I’m Godmother )

Ah thank you @JaneJeffer
If you like property programmes it’s a good one.
on VirginOne
Liz seems nice. Relatable.
Good with prospective purchasers.

I’m surprised I’ve never seen it @deeahgwitch those type of programmes get repeated so often I usually end up seeing them at some point

Maggie from Cheaper Homes bought a run down home years ago and used to post videos of her renovations and iirc she was spotted by someone who produces tv shows and that was the start of her show.

Liz O'Kane is very good too.

God that poor family in Waterford, 2 adults, 2 children murdered and 2 children critical in hospital. What possesses people to petrol bomb a house, I just can't get my head around it, those poor little children must have been so scared. The violence in this country is shocking.

It's not far from where I live and very near one of my friends and local "knowledge" are saying it's drug debt and the family were warned. I'm also reading that their car was fire bombed recently. Horrific thing to have happened.

Omg that's awful, so if a debt is outstanding and a warning given they then just murder the whole family if not paid 😲 feck..

Just reading more as it's been released. I'm seeing a lot of reports saying 'innocently targeted' and lots of comments saying they were hard working and decent people 🤔

One of the children taken to crumlin had leukemia 11 years ago 😭 they've lots of stuff online about it , the family and news reports. Is it mistaken identity as to who did this, just can't see anything negative about the family.

One of my friend's taught the girl that had cancer and now in Crumlin and my SIL taught another child. It's shocking.

We had neighbours for a while who were targeted...he was a milkman and she worked in social care. They had obviously upset someone. There were kids in and out...two step kids...and a baby.
It was mostly paint thrown at the house which was scary enough. Petrol bombs is just awful.

Absolutely dreadful.
I knew you were in that neck of the woods @honeyrider.
I think the world is so fu*ked up at the moment.
😢

I'm a childminder and mind teachers children and they've all taught these poor children. The place is in shock.

Ah god seeing the vile nasty stuff now. Some people are sick cunts. Feckin hell they're actually enjoying the attention and saying how they feel and congratulating the 'lads'. They were little children 😔

A local told who has the drug debt and it wasn't one of this immediate family but someone very close to them.

There's talk now that the strikes tomorrow may affect access to the school for counselling.

I'm sorry. It's appalling.

Yes I think I'd believe locals quicker than the media or Gardai. Sad they can't access some support in school today although it was nice to see the staff laying flowers.

Just read that little lad that died had heart surgery 2 weeks ago ?

Why is the travelling community getting involved?

My SIL taught him. The whole place is in shock.

I suppose...I hope...the gardai word things correctly if courts are going to be involved.
People in the neighbourhood are bound to talk though maybe to reassure themselves. It's frightening.

Oh god 😢 that's terribly sad, I hope she and you are ok x

A man and woman have been arrested in connection with this horrific crime.

And Jeffrey Donaldson should have got 30 years if he only has to serve half.

💯 this

I seen that, I'm hoping that they are charged . I have been watching Captain Kieran Kelly on line, hadn't heard of him before but he seems to be well know. He has been naming them all, putting up their social media information. I had a look at most of them and omg everyone of them have young kids, half of them are kids themselves but god what violence they have created and carried out in their lives, they don't care, they're extremely violent towards their own community which is well known so they're not going to give a shit about outsiders.

I've seen bits of Captain Kieran Kelly's posts in the past in relation to other things and he named people to do with whatever topic he was discussing. I think this pair can be held for up to a week.

I didn't think it would take long to arrest and hopefully charge, I find when kids are involved that is a line crossed for some criminals so expected some to talk. It sounds like the ones arrested were involved but not the top dogs it would be great if this brought the whole gang tumbling down.

@honeyrider so sorry to hear of your connection to the area and people effected. Absolutely devastating for the community.
