      Back when I was living in Dublin, a politician stabbed a junkie to death in a local chipper using a big ass kitchen knife. Yes, you read that right. The politician murdered the drug addict, not the other way around.

        Was that politician the gangster who ran for office but was never elected? I don’t remember hearing about this.

          No, it was a low level local politician, don’t remember his name. It’s been quite a while since it happened. But he was jailed for life.

          EDIT: This was in North Strand about ~12-15 years ago? I was on my way to work and the Guards were everywhere securing the area.

              Nah, can’t be, it was a politician, not a former soldier. The victim had 2 very young children (defo under the age of 10 back when it happened). Beats me.

                  That’s Dublin Northside for you, I guess? 😅

                  And it was inside the chippy shop. That gobshite got into a verbal argument with the poor fella, went back home, grabbed the biggest knife from the kitchen, went back and just finished the job. I really do feel sorry for that poor man and his family.

                  Then again, nothing surprises me anymore when it comes down to Dublin. I once went home after work and there were a bunch of lads soaping up and washing their horse at a petrol station. D3 madness forever! ^^
