burglaries are becoming endemic at the moment in Ireland. I know of a small housing estate that had 7 houses burgled in the one night. Granted this was a much more serious crime, however there’s no disputing the fact that criminals/people are becoming more and more desperate and as result are becoming more and more brazen in their efforts to rob from people. At least these people were released and are safe albeit probably in a severe state of shock.

Poor woman.

This is a terrible thing to happen to a family, people should be a ashamed of them selfs for making jokes about a family being held against their will, how would ppl feel if that was their own family held at gun point ? No laughing matter

Just want to apologise for my stupid crass joke above. Glad nobody was hurt from that family.

Nope.
It’s called tiger kidnapping because of the way the victim is watched.
Like a tiger follows its prey.

Best of luck to the Lady and her family after her traumatic experience,people who find her trauma hilarious should be warned Karma is a bitch.

The same criminal gang suspected of being involved in the murder of Det. Donohue are also suspected of being responsible for a number of tiger kidnappings around the Louth / Meath area. Not saying it’s related to this incident but you’d wonder. They’re deep in the shit now and may just go for broke.

Is it a coincidence there was a large seizure of cocaine and heroine early last week and now we have 1 dead Garda, a young family left without him, and also a family traumatised by a tiger kidnapping! And what do the sell out government and they’re predecessors do? Try and out score each other with political points over Garda cutbacks, our leaders don’t give a shit about the ordinary citizens of this island, it’s disgusting and time for a change in people’s mind sets, action needs to be taken by the people for the people

The poor woman involved.less of the smart comments you muppets..

When will the gov realise closing down Garda stations is gonna make this country go into open season for the criminals especially in rural areas gonna be like the Wild Wild West these criminals have no morals ruthless to the core shooting dead detective point black range breaking into two Priest homes they are the lowest of the low and sadly gonna get worst . Save the banks and let the people vulnerable it seems cut backs my ass sickening politicians why bothering voting i ask

well I dunno but I do know I did read an article in the station once about tiger Kidnappings and it was explained in it how it got its name… The Celtic Tiger was that reason! Just saying but ill stand corrected!

I hope the tiger is found soon

it’s called a tiger kidnapping simply because all this greed started during the Celtic Tiger…. therefore some dude named these specific crimes as Tiger Kidnappings!

Is it wrong that I was disappointed that there was no tiger involved in this?

Roar Roar Roar . Kidnapping tigers is bad enough but what about that property developer that turned op after months with Thief carved on his forehead . It’s a pity the Russian mafia wouldn’t take a few of the shitttt heads that fooked the economy up and make them disappear

what a stupid thing to call a plain old aggravated burglary/kidnapp. nothing to do with a tiger being taken from a zoo in meath. lazy journalism and disinformation… pfftt…..

Poor tiger :-(

Tiger is still on the run.

The whole “tiger-kidnapping” term really doesn’t make much sense.
