Local Fingal Councillor Ted Leddy says a family has been devastated beyond words, just days before Christmas. "I'm outraged and disgusted that this has happened. It's a quiet area, it's a settled area. There hasn't been any kind of serious violence like this in the area in 15 years. The people obviously don't want to see any return to that. There's great shock and sadness in the community this evening".
