We have seen that time and time again.

And sometimes that's the most effective way of these things being resolved.

That they shake hands, that somebody moves in and they mediate and the party's involved.

I think so, yeah.

There's people who are mutually respected by both sides involved in something like this.

Now, I suppose it is worth pointing out that in this particular series of events, that all the events that we're aware of have targeted one side of it.

The violence seems to have targeted one side of it.

So that's another element to this, but we are told that that is the main line of inquiry that the Arsenal New Year's Eve is being linked and being looked at as being connected to this feud.

There's also, I suppose, the intended target on this, there has been speculation that he's actually related to one of the parties that was involved in the Drogheda feud.

So that was something that we were told that was looked at, but is not being looked at as heavily as what we've been told is the mainline.

Well, you'd hope in circumstances like this where an innocent family, through no fault of their own, you know, have been subjected to a trauma like this, you would hope they wouldn't be put back on a list or whatever.

Yeah, and like, I mean, we've seen the devastation.

That can be caused by arson attacks over the last couple of months.

I mean, we saw it down in Eden Derry in early December with the tragic death of Tyke Farrell, a four-year-old boy, and his grand-aunt, Mary Holt.

They both lost their lives.

Again, I understand it was a petrol bomb that caused the damage to the house.

The Gardaí actually released footage of that attack afterwards and you can see somebody coming up and throwing this device at the house and it seems from the video that it goes up very, very quickly.

Well, I suppose the angle you're looking at it, you can just basically see that this person approaches the house and that they throw it.

So the mechanics of what happened next, I don't know.

But what we do know is
