Phil Treacy, the father of Daniel Treacy, shot dead in Limerick yesterday, speaks out

Daniel’s father speaks about the suffering his family has endured since the death of his son.
Have a listen…

Yesterday we heard the shocking news that Daniel Treacy, a local Limerick man had been shot while delivering bread at a petrol station on the outskirts of Limerick city. Two men have been arrested and are being questioned in relation to the incident.

Speaking on this programme in the wake of the shooting, Mayor of Limerick Kevin Kiely proposed selective internment as a solution to the continuing problem of violence in Limerick. In a moment I’ll be speaking about this with Dara Robinson, Criminal Defence Lawyer with Dublin Firm Garreth Sheehan and Partners.

But first, before coming to air I spoke with Daniel’s father, Philip Treacy, who owns the family bread business, and is protected by armed gardaí when he goes on his bread rounds since the Kieran Keane trial in which another of his sons, Owen, was the key state witness.
