  1. “while the baby’s mother was taking the buggy out of the boot.”

    That suggests to me that he knew it was likely a baby was in the car.

  2. Why would he do that? It doesn’t say if he knew the child was there when he took it but surely he did know?

  3. Suspended sentence incoming….

    Can’t wait to see what his Reality Launderer says to the judge, I imagine something like this…

    >”Ah sure judge, his uncles plumber plays GAA. And he has drug issues… sure ya can’t send a lad to prison if he using. Only non-drug using people go to prison. Besides, going to prison would impact his ability to care for his kids, he LOVES kids as evidenced by his actions. He’s a great father judge I swear. And AND about 10 minutes ago he just enrolled in some bullshit course or other. Totally reformed. Sure ya can’t send him down.”

    Strange how quiet the usual suspects are about this.

    I suppose he’s not brown enough for ott outrage.

    Direct consequence of the merry go round legal/ prison system. Our “men and women of the people” politicians are at an income level where these types crimes simply do not exist in their world, so on and on we go.

  6. Interesting how all the usual suspects have gone quiet now that it’s confirmed to be a white Irish man…Almost as if they don’t care about “protecting children”, but something else entirely…

  7. Jaysus, you’d be morto. Out for a quick bit of robbing, and you’ve accidentally kidnapped a kid 😹

    Could happen to any one of us.

    How come they’re able to name him but the guy who tried to take the child last week couldn’t be named??

    My mum was in a hairdresser with some usual characters when this happened. One woman started talking about it “why in God’s name did she leave a baby in the car?”

    “…she didn’t. She probably was after getting out of the car and he hopped in”
    A few women agreed and said that’s even worse because it’s an impulsive thing rather than being planned.

    “No she left that baby in there and he broke in”.

    Some people are so stubborn

  10. If he gets away with the “I didn’t know there was a baby in the car” excuse, then every would-be carjacker out there will know, **don’t check the back seats when you’re taking a vehicle. T**hat way you’ll get a lesser sentence if caught. It makes things a lot more dangerous for babies and infants.

    Fake news.
    Those of us that can see past what the traitors in the media feed us, know that it was an undocumented military age immigrant

  12. But hold up, I thought it was only ‘male immigrants of fighting age’ or some shite, that do these things? ‘Noel Ryan’ is a weird name for an immigrant.
