Come off the stage,the victim according to updated story was a career criminal with over 50 convictions for burglary,Tough luck as they say!! Hopefully losing that arm may teach him a lesson

Well done to the man who shot them.

I know it doesn’t say who was shot but I really hope it was the burglar

My weekend just got a little brighter, pity he didn’t shoot the second burglar too.

…shame the family member didn’t arrive slightly earlier to “find the intruder had a nasty groin injury due to an unlucky fall onto a dung fork, causing him to fall into the slurry pit, where he drowned. Guard.”

I hope the injury is not too trivial, apparently he is well known to the Gardai.

Obviously they never heard of the bull mc cabe.

I’m all on for shooting burglars.

true,plus they concerned the gutters needed fixing.complete normal to tip across a bog in a Lexus and beemer,! if someone could invent sum sort of contraption that drives across fields! (bit like the things skinny women drive in Dublin south side.)

Jesus, that is an awful disgrace. The poor farmers field probably has tyre marks in it.

looks Luke the injured man was one from the Lexus and has a string of convictions as well as being well known to gardai. farm owner is retired and was away for a few days, the farm is not a working farm anymore, they were probably using sheds or other areas of the farm for something illegal got found out and threatened the farmers son who defended his life and his father’s property as well as stopping illegal acts being committed.

Probably only a simple hunting accident. I hope they found their “missing dog” that they inevitably were looking for in the field.

Well done wilie,sounds just right.

A head shot is always a better option.

I’m shocked at the uncaring attitude towards this poor injured man, especially in this Holy Season of Easter.
God help us! He’s obviously from a deprived section of our society , deprived of a proper education due to personality clashes with all his teachers and forced to depend on the State for assistance as he couldn’t get a job paying enough to run his Lexus.
Have you not considered that maybe he is an example of the unfortunate deprived people, referred to by the outgoing President of the IMO, whose life expectancy is lowered by drink and fags ( and sometimes getting shot when their burglering).
For shame on the lot of ye!!
REPENT NOW and donate some blood to the Bleeding Hearts Brigade.

I think my comment was removed …so apologies if I offended anyone . I am only glad that the burglar was not shot in the head ! As that would have meant a terrible loss to our society .

Comment on rte said his “van” broke down and he was returning to thank the farmer for his hospitality earlier, smells a bit ?

News travels fast

Hold on before ye start shooting that man. Who says hes guilty of anything he wasnt in the house when he was shot.
