“Meagher’s victim, “John” (32), spoke to the Sunday Independent but asked for his real name not to be used because of the sensitive nature of the case. John has faced a backlash from some members of the community where he lives in Kilkenny for making a garda complaint against Meagher because of his standing in hurling.”
Honestly this is fucking awful. I know people involved in the GAA have a ridiculously elevated position in Ireland for some reason, but this sort of stuff is not uncommon and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve read in court reports about people being “involved in the community and the local GAA club” getting off.
If it’s really that important maybe they should be held to higher standards?
What an absolutely chancer. Imagine people siding against the victim. All because what? He was a name in the GAA? He should have got longer in prison. 41K is a life changing amount of money in the context of a deposit for a house and can take years to save up.

You’d best be wary of Kilkenny GAA types mooching for funds.
At least it sounds like he’s going to get the majority of the money back. Blizzare that anyone would take the coaches side for such a blatant scam.
What’s in the water in Kilkenny
This can’t be right. The GAA you say?
Que the “it happens in every sport” gob shites.

The GAA is a fucking cult
Between the church and the GAA, I don’t know who gets away with more.
Never fails to surprise me how greedy some people can be.
The sheer punchability of that face is outrageous
What’s with these Kilkenny gaa crowd..
Jesus, you’d be sickened reading that. Sure it’s always the pillar of the community…GAA strikes again. Hope yer man gets his money back.

They are always from Kilkenny.
The VICTIM has faced backlash for reporting a pile of fucking garbage that stole 40k from him…
Words cant describe how much I hate GAA Culture.
He should be locked up, and if you agree with him? You should be locked up too.
