How, and I should have said this, I mean, we know Gardaí have been alerted to this and investigations are ongoing.

So there is an active investigation into what happened.

But how does he feel about not so much then the attack and going back out into town and past the playground where it happened, but how does he feel about the fact that people are watching this video?

Yeah.

We need to be really careful here now because, you know, there's an investigation ongoing and the absolute last thing we want to do is jeopardise it.

But just in broad terms, I mean, when you looked at it, did you recognise anyone else in the video?

OK, so, yeah, so they weren't recognisable to you anyway.

But yeah, OK, we'll leave it there because, like I say, the last thing anyone here wants to do is jeopardise an investigation.

Yes, yes.

You mentioned, you know, just the level of violence in general in the town itself.

How much is that something that, say, before this even happened, that you would have been aware of or worried about when he was out and about?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Do you think the fact that there's the videoing has come into it and is a feature that that makes it work, that there's a performative element to the violence as well, that it's kind of violence just for violence sake so you can record it?

Yeah, and like I say, we don't know anything about these lads and we don't want to jeopardise any investigation.

Yeah, yeah.

And we know there's one happening, but...

Yeah.

You know, you mentioned your young fella being nervous, you know, understandably about going uptown again when he gets to it.

How nervous would you be about him heading into town?
