      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

    3. 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 

    5. 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

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

    12. 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.
