Iontach go bhfuil muintir na Gaeltachta ag feidhmiú ón mbun aníos chun brú a chur ar an rialtas ar an gceist phráinneach seo. Is é an tithíocht an gad is giorra do scornach na Gaeltachta/na Gaeilge i dtéarmaí inmharthanacht na gceantair sin agus líon na gcainteoirí laethúla.

No known links to anyone in that school found so far.
Gonna edit this. It is a fast moving investigation. It is best to say at this stage that gardai are trying to establish if there are any links between the attacker and any of the victims.

Given the stabbings in the city centre today and what is going on there right now, it is clear something is going very badly wrong in this country. An open and HONEST debate is needed about the social, economic and political causes of it all.

On a day of traumatic and unprecedented scenes on the streets of Dublin, I’m immensely proud of the courage, commitment and dedication of the Gardaí I have the privilege to represent and speak on behalf of. The ethos and culture that prevails in AGS is something to celebrate.
