It's sad and horrible how this poor man Tom Niland died - all so three thugs could get hold of €800; but it's lovely to read about his life.

A simple life but one lived with dignity and kindness.

His family and neighbours sound like great people too.

The quiet man – the gentle life and violent death of Sligo farmer Tom Niland

Niland’s family cannot fathom the brutality of the assault during a robbery at his rural home that led to his death 20 months later

There's a reason I don't spend entirely too much time at home, and when you get landscape like this on your doorstep it's hard not to be drawn to a nomadic way of life #WestIreland #WildAtlanticWay #KillkeeCliffs #WestClare
