RIP
I hope he had some peace after what must have been a nightmare few years for him. R.I.P.
RIP Padraig.
Oh god, that was 20 years ago, fucccccccck.
RIP. He did the country a favour, and I’ve no doubt that his interaction with that piece of filth impacted his quality of life thereafter.
Some of the worst abuse of power by the orginal judge.
In before the comments get locked
A man failed by the judiciary. Rip.
Fuck sake – time is just pissing by isn’t it.
He did the country a favour
A hero. Rest well.
Made the country a slightly better place that day
Think whole country was on his side!
Jesus 20 years ago.. I remember thinking at the time that attacking the elderly was beyond disgusting. Fast forward, I’m only 2 years younger than Padraig was then… Oh Shit.

What a legend. I’d have reloaded on that cunt too. Scumbag got what he deserved.
He shot a man. Then he followed the injured man and beat him to death, “like a badger”, in his own words. He was only changed with manslaughter. When convicted, the public outcry was so high (including an extremely sympathetic article in the Irish Times) the conviction was overturned.
Is there any comment here saying shooting and beating a man to death is wrong?
r/Ireland, well done, yere in lock step with Irish attitudes to Travellers.
“You are all individuals!”
r/Ireland, in sync, “We are all individuals!”
A national hero
Rest easy
RIP what he went through lives on a disgrace to us all. Those bastards should have been locked up the first time they trespassed on his land and if they tried it again they should have been locked up for so long that others like them would have thought twice before they tried it again.
The poor man. Hopefully his experience has changed things for the better
Rest in Peace.

A contentious case, and one which should have served as a pivotal moment – like Savita – to bring in some justice reform in Ireland.
It’s kind of a textbook “two wrongs don’t make a right” case. But even when it seems objectively clear that you’re not allowed to pursue someone and kill them, there are very few people who don’t have some level of sympathy or support for what he did.
Ultimately the state failed him as an individual. No person should ever feel so unsafe or undefended that the only option they have is to take the law into their own hands.
But that’s what happened, that’s why he did what he did. Because the state had let Ward off so many times that Nally didn’t feel like there was anything else he could do.
And what was the state’s response? To make it easier for people to take the law into their own hands. Well done McDowell you fucking berk.
Unfortunately a lot of bigots have locked onto this as a traveller thing. Rural Ireland fighting back against the travellers. But it’s not. It’s a scumbag thing. We have these kinds of scumbags all over the country walking around with impunity because the Gardai don’t have the powers or resources to adequately deal with them. And a court system which was never really designed to deal with out-and-out scumbags. It’s designed to deal with ordinary people who commit crimes. Not generational and unashamed criminals who are never going to stop offending.
We need a proper set of laws that handle and deal with habitual offenders, keeping them locked up before they can gather 50 or 500 convictions.
RIP
In before the lock. This thread will have the shelf life of cottage cheese.
Going with full Farmers honours… 21 shotgun salute!
A hero. Rest in Peace lad.
