  1. I’ve been asked 3 times today if I’d seen the video.

    Each time, the person that asked me went for their phone.

    Each time I stopped them and tild them I don’t want to fuckin see it.

  2. I haven’t seen the video so hopefully ppl are listening.
    God what a horrible thing to happen. It’s defo the least concerning part but the wedding is fecked now.

  3. It’s not a good thing that people are circulating it but the fact that the video exists isn’t necessarily a bad thing if it helps convict the perpetrator(s).

  4. There seems to be a few vids floating around from earlier stages in the altercation. I think there is also Garda CCTV in that part of the town as a couple of nightclubs are on the street where it happened. Used to be the case that there would be a Garda (van) presence there also on busy nights, if there had been this might not have happened.

  5. Can anybody who knows more about this sort of stuff explain their charges ?

    “The men both faces charges of assault causing harm.
    They also each face a charge of violent disorder.”

    Is it likely these are the only charges they will face or are they usually charged after more evidence etc?
