Convicted rapist’s Clondalkin gun rampage sparked by teens’ graffiti
A CONVICTED rapist was involved in a 16-hour stand-off with armed cops after going on a gun rampage in search of youths who spray-painted his wall.
Stephen ‘Madser’ Doherty, who raped a prostitute in the former home of WB Yeats, was penned in by gardai at a home in St Mark’s Estate in Clondalkin, Dublin.
He had allegedly gone on an armed hunt for the graffiti culprits — who had highlighted his sex offender past.
The alarm was raised at 9am on Wednesday after Doherty, 45, was involved in a row with two relatives in a domestic incident.
He then barricaded himself into the property as gardai arrived at the scene. Uniformed cops initially responded to the incident before officers from Special Tactics Operation Command were called in.
They included officers from the Emergency Response Unit, the Armed Response Unit and the National Negotiation Unit. The specialist teams were drafted in after establishing Doherty had access to firearms.

During the tense stand-off, Doherty also threw an imitation firearm from a window.
An ERU team moved in to the house in the early hours of the morning after Doherty — who was also on a drugs binge — showed no signs of giving himself up after the 16-hour stalemate.
Once inside the house, Doherty was Tasered before being arrested. Officers also recovered a handgun fitted with a silencer and rounds of ammo in an upstairs bedroom. The weapon was last night being examined by Garda forensic experts.
A source said: “The preservation of life was paramount in this case and the decision to enter the house was made because the negotiations had gone on for a very long time.
“There was great cooperation with the local community and it was great to see a peaceful outcome.
“The longer a situation like this goes on the more volatile it can become. Doherty has no links to organised crime and it’s unclear why he had access to the firearm.”
We revealed earlier this year how Garda negotiators were involved in 86 tense stand-offs with people threatening to take hostages and others vowing to take their own lives in 2017.
A source told the Irish Sun: “This all started because young lads had painted on his wall about him being a rapist. He was seen out with a gun.

“A local paid the lads to graffiti the wall earlier in the week. He wrote down on a piece of paper what to write.
“The lads took a photo of the paper but when they went to do it, the phone battery died. They were meant to write ‘rapist sex offender out’ but all they could remember was ‘sex out’.
“The guy refused to pay them because they made a balls of it and told the youngsters to go do it properly or else they weren’t getting paid.
“After his house was tagged the second time, it obviously sent him over the edge and he went looking for them.”

Speaking about the incident, a Garda spokesperson said: “A Taser device was used and the matter has been referred to the Garda Siochana Ombudsman Commission. One individual, male, was involved in this incident and was arrested and is currently in Garda custody.”
Doherty was previously convicted in 2004 after kidnapping and raping a prostitute at Riverside House in Rathfarnham — the former home of legendary poet WB Yeats.
He was handed a ten-year term for false imprisonment, as well as three further charges of rape, oral rape and threatening to kill. A local who knows the family said she felt sorry for Doherty’s mother.
The neighbour said: “I know the family very well. They are a lovely family, nice, quiet people — with him being the exception, of course . . . His mother is a lovely woman. I feel sorry for her.”
Another concerned local said: “This is generally a quiet area. Last week, there was a shooting just around the corner. and now this standoff — it’s very scary stuff. Maybe it’s not as quiet and peaceful as we thought.”
