Jimmy Loughlin was dead, killed as McLaughlin later told gardaí, because he believed the young man had his mother in the house and he intended to rape her.
Local TD Marc MacSharry who attended the inquest agrees that the tragedy could have been avoided. “Jimmy Loughlin should be alive today. If our system was adequate, the red flags repeatedly highlighted in relation to the threat of violence, by the gardaí and other agencies would have been acted upon. They were not and so the Loughlin family are without their son and brother.”
