There's a lesson here, basically, don't interrupt an Irishman while he's eating.

The gunman was tackled at the scene and fatally injured.

Local Rugby Club out for a steak dinner?

Brought knife to a gunfight and won. Who knew.

^ I think you mean brought a gun to a knife fight and lost...

quote:

A father and son who were also in the restaurant and known to gardaí were the targets of a gunman who arrived and fired several shots at them as customers screamed and ran.

Just a couple of normal chaps out for a Christmas dinner, that's all.

“Both victims are known to gardaí for their involvement in serious and organised crime.
“Detectives are treating the shooting as gang-related and believe it is linked to an ongoing drugs and gun-related feud.”

Holeechit! Can we imagine any US news source making such clear and unequivocal statements about the people involved in an incident like that‽

Wow, talk about bringing a gun to a knife fight.

I hope they didn't eat him.

“It wasna that he shot the pair, he spilt a shot of Tullamore. That’s why he was stabbed,” said a Gardaí spokesman, “For that reason, we rule the killing fully justified. You know, FAFO.”
