Gardai arrest three over horror burglary at home of elderly couple ● NEWSBy Sunday World Share Jimmy and Maura Campion Gardaí have arrested three men over a horror burglary at the home of an elderly couple in North Tipperary earlier this month. Raiders broke into the home of Jimmy Campion in Roscrea, Co Tipperary late on May 7 and beat him with his own walking stick. Mr Campion and his wife Maura (87) were left traumatised after the two men broke in through a side window of their home at 11.45pm on the Sunday night. A quantity of cash was taken in the aggravated burglary. Independent.ie has learned that gardaí arrested a 28-year-old man in South Dublin on Monday and he is currently being held at a station in North Tipperary under Section 30 of the Offences against the state act. Earlier today, gardaí carried out two further arrests. A 34-year-old man and a 17-year-old male were arrested in South Dublin and they are also detained at Garda stations in North Tipperary. They are being questioned under section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act. The attack on the Campions home caused outrage when news emerged earlier this month. Taoiseach Enda Kenny described the attack as “unforgiveable in so many ways”. He described the robbery as an “act of cowardice” and “wanton brutality” carried out by “thugs”. The Taoiseach was responding to comments from Kerry TD Michael Healy Rae who told the Dáil those responsible should be “tagged for life”. “These people are scumbags. They are the worse type of cowardly blaggards that God ever put on this world,” he said. “Two men attacked him. They broke his walking stick over his head. They ransacked his house, they stole his money. This type of behaviour from any human being should not be tolerated.” Edited May 31, 2017 by jigsaw Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shovel shy 4,033 Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 I think he means it's not gona help any off us hunting folk. Anybody driving around at night lamping is gona be stopped n searched night after night. If u were this couple or lived in the local area would u give permission to people to hunt/lamp? Nope. It has a knock on effect. Scumbags Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mushroom 12,921 Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 One thing I always said to landowners was "I'll watch your shit for you, to the best of my ability" ... an extra pair of eyes is always good for them but the request and offer goes down a lot better with references 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stonewall 1,913 Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) it boils my blood that this has happened too people at their stage in life, the kind of old irish people that i can only describe as the vanishing ireland these lovely old people are a joy too talk too when one spends the time to do so.hearing stories from a time in ireland that im afraid is gone forever.

The one 8,477 Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 Some folk just use lamping as a excuse to see whats about a place and work out when they can steal it no wonder some land owners give genuine folk a hard time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stonewall 1,913 Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) this reminds me when padraig nally a small farming man in his 60s kept getting robbed up in mayo or was it galway,a local traveller family the wards had been at him for a good while.mr nally eventually had enough and waited up one night and caught the travelling man red handed and he gave him both barrels and shot him stone dead.the traveller jonh ward had something like 20 convictions for robbery it was later found out,mr nalley went too jail but the irish public protested for mr nallys release,his time in jail was cut short,i was never so happy when i herd this.it was a big case in ireland about 13yrs ago.
