Back when I was living in Dublin, a politician stabbed a junkie to death in a local chipper using a big ass kitchen knife. Yes, you read that right. The politician murdered the drug addict, not the other way around.
Nah, can’t be, it was a politician, not a former soldier. The victim had 2 very young children (defo under the age of 10 back when it happened). Beats me.
And it was inside the chippy shop. That gobshite got into a verbal argument with the poor fella, went back home, grabbed the biggest knife from the kitchen, went back and just finished the job. I really do feel sorry for that poor man and his family.
Then again, nothing surprises me anymore when it comes down to Dublin. I once went home after work and there were a bunch of lads soaping up and washing their horse at a petrol station. D3 madness forever! ^^

That’s not too odd, but usually the murder weapon is legislation.
Was that politician the gangster who ran for office but was never elected? I don’t remember hearing about this.
No, it was a low level local politician, don’t remember his name. It’s been quite a while since it happened. But he was jailed for life.
EDIT: This was in North Strand about ~12-15 years ago? I was on my way to work and the Guards were everywhere securing the area.
Donal Colgan?

Damn, lots of people getting stabbed outside of chippers I guess 💀
That’s Dublin Northside for you, I guess? 😅

Mental. That one just whizzed on by me I think.
