      Ah they’re only young lads, sure there’s nothing that could be done.

      I’m sure Coughlan’s family will be relieved to know his killers will receive a harsh punishment of a 6 month suspended sentence

      Jesus, why are we not hearing more about this . This is shocking. These thugs will be defended and excused eventually, I feel sick.

      They filmed themselves beating him to death as he begged for his life.

      The silence from those who made the most noise about yves sakila is deafening

      Welcome to Dublin in 2026. Teenage scumbags rule the roost and the politicians line their own pockets. Not a city to grow up in any more.

      I honestly hate this country sometimes , we will most likely be paying for their dole money . These guys need to be in prison and then forced labour .

      He died of injuries he got by way of the assault which means the charges will be upgraded to murder charges and rightly so.

      What a terrible crime, I hope we see change to how we deal with scumbags like this…RIP

      What a tragic & senseless loss, the poor man. May he rest in peace, thinking too of his family & friends dealing with this horrific situation.

      >“In an incredible final act of kindness and generosity,” Lawless said, Coughlan’s organs have been donated to help others. “Alex’s organs have been donated to help others in need – a lasting gift that reflects the caring and selfless person he was,” she said.

      Truly a lasting gift.

      Will these lads be trialed as adults? Should be getting serious time for this

    15. Anxious-Wolverine-65 on

      Teenagers are killing adults now? Fuck me, I thought we just had to worry about them being pests. Now they’re killing. Good god

      I have to assume the fact these shits filmed him begging for his life, before they joyfully beat him, will lead to additional charges of torture etc. They should be studied in minute detail, so we can crack exactly what fuels this evil.

      Evil little maggots. Teenagers get away with far too much in Ireland, and this will likely be no different. Fuckin sick of it.

      Why have I not heard about this? I’ve engaged with the news this week and heard multiple reports on the Arnotts assault but nothing on this man. Alexander Coughlan.

      I actually feel physically sick reading the details.

      I had a whole paragraph on how the country has changed with these disgusting scrotes since I was growing up in the 80’s & 90’s but after thinking back to, I’ve deleted it.

      If this was in connection to this man being gay (as suggested by some) then Declan Flynn was the victim of the same homophobic murder in the early 80’s, as was Charles Self.

      The amount of feral young men does seem to have increased and I have previously wondered if the disarmament of the paramilitaries had any influence on this. The fear of punishment beating (or losing a knee) handed out through local “law and order” was a thing back then. The scrotes never feared the Guard but ya defo feared the local ra

      Ive seen absloutley zero on this and it is so so horrid! There absolutely needs to be protests regarding this or something to get the media more focused on it and the issue of the feral teens

    23. Recent-Lemon-9930 on

      We need proper self-defence to be allowed in this shithole country. Can’t carry pepper spray in case you might stop a couple of scumbags recording themselves beating you to death.

    26. Finsceal on

      He was my age, totally normal, walking around Blanch on a Sunday like any of us could have been. I know it shouldn’t matter but that really puts it into perspective for me at least. You never consider that you could be just one encounter with some scumbag piece of shit away from losing your life.

    27. corkgirlie93 on

      This is the first I have seen of this. Absolutely awful. Omg. What a kind looking man.

    28. Ambitious-Pack703 on

      Feel physically sick after reading the RTE report on it from Wednesday. If they can do adult crimes, they should be treated and tried as adults.

      Hope they judge acts on this

      **Transfer to Adult Court:** If a juvenile aged 16 or 17 commits a particularly serious felony, a judge can waive juvenile jurisdiction, transferring the case to adult criminal court.

    29. SkateMMA on

      Alexander would have ended up with more serious charges than these two if he fought back and won, as they were children. They should be tried as adults

    30. CultofpersonalityKev on

      I went to the same school as him. Similar circles though I cannot say I knew him personally. What I do know is that he was very special and everyone that knew him loved him.

    31. Mccantty on

      ADULT CRIME….. ADULT TIME…. Contact you local TD’s. It’s the only way to change the game.

    32. 5x0uf5o on

      I know the identities of these teenagers will remain private but I want to know what kind of criminal record they have. Surely nobody goes from zero to this. They must be massive fucking scrotes. I hope the community shuns their families – everyone connected to them is tarnished by this behaviour.

    33. Existing_Tomorrow437 on

      Obviously this attack shouldn’t have happened at any time, but that it occurred on a Sunday afternoon is extra chilling. Really makes one wonder more about safety at a time of day when most wouldn’t.

    34. bimbo_bear on

      See, 99.9% of the time I’m against the death penalty. But then this happens, there’s no doubt they did it, no doubt they intended to cause serious harm or even death.

      And then I find myself thinking that really they should just be used as spare parts for better people because why even rehab them. And I hate that :/ 

    35. Old-Structure-4 on

      I’m convinced the people who make the rules on sentencing and crime would feel very differently if they lived in places like Blanchardstown.

    37. Logical_Park7904 on

      Where are the protests for the pathetic justice system and restrictive self defense laws?
