      It is factually incorrect, he was killed by security who never should have detained him that way. In all my years working security, I’ve never witnessed such a botched detaining. The loss prevention units in the suits had the authority to step in, there were more than enough there to detain him properly.

      Guards perfomed CPR on him when they arrived according to the initial news reports.

      Was this a confusion between “security guard” and the “guard”-aí [sic]???

      It seems people mixed up “guards” and “gards” accidentally or to spread misinformation. I’m concerned Channel 4 didn’t do their due diligence here.

      I despise news organisations getting basic stuff like this wrong, it’s you’re fucking job.

      “No suspects identified”. That seems odd. Surely more urgency is called for. Shouldn’t have been too hard to identify them.

      I mean the lack of gardai on the beat in our capital city probably did contribute to his death. how long did it take for gardai to arrive on the scene? a permanent garda presence needs to be stationed on Henry street. currently in Limerick and there’s visible policing everywhere

      Novaro media also had a short up on YT naming the Gardai as the main offenders, quick to post, slow to research

      Since when are security guards able to actually put hands on someone. Pretty sure that’s still regarded as assault hence why the centra and spar ones just stand trying to look intimidating as deterrence. Suppose it’s different when it’s a posh brand like arnots. Pure disgusting either way just ring the gardai it’s literally their job if they do feck all complain like the rest of us maybe they will change. Honestly prison time is needed to stop this repeating

      Poor research there by C4, hope they issue a fulsome apology because that is a very serious error to make.

      Saw the same thing on an English newspaper as well.
      Not sure if it’s an honest mistake or some shit stirring by the English.
