    Oh God no! Not Foreigners!

    How exactly do they know it's "foreigners" and why would RTE cover this up if it's true?
    And why is it important?

    How dare you slur the good name of Foreigner. Foreigner is the greatest rock band to have ever existed and I won't let you sully their good name.

    Well let's get the lynching started. I knew them foreigners were evil, I just knew it, with there nasty differences to me. EVIL.

    Or maybe RTE didn't say it because they don't want people blaming all foreigners for what a handful of foreigners did. These people are scum, no doubt about it and I'd like to see them get a long prison sentence and then get shipped back to whence they came. But this doesn't change the fact that most foreigners we have in this country are honest and work hard for our benefit. People like you disgust me.

    Because it was a crime. Every knows Irish people don't commit crimes only those damn dirty foreigners do (and not just some of them ALL OF THEM DO). It's been scientifically proven.

    CORRECTION, your reply should have been: why is it an important fact?.

    They didn't and it's not important

    They also didn't mention what label clothes the victims where wearing maybe they're covering that up too?

    Is it not normal practice to keep peoples' names quiet until there are actual convictions or court appearances?

    Is this an E.G. the same thing? normal practice!

    Rte fails to report the news again.
    Implying that they've done it before, can you provide an example?

    And why exactly is leaving out the nationality of the attackers failing to report the news even though they report everything else?
    Why would they cover this up?

    In fairness , I was listening to rte news at one on thursday and these 5 people were clearly identified as being lithuanian. There was 5 minutes on why their passports were not taken from them especially as they were a flight risk, The rte bit paddy is rabbiting on about is before these 5 were brought before a district court. rte has its faults bit not in this case . The reporting was factual

    Maybe because it was before that information was confirmed?
    Maybe it just wasn't important?

    Maybe it's a vast eastern European conspiracy?

    Or maybe it's some racist jerk on the internet taking something stupid to support his bigotry. Then you believed him?

    OMG the Belfast Telegraph doesn't specify they're Lithuanian, they've failed to report the news!!!!

    Seriously what exactly is your point?

    Can you provide one other instance of RTE "failing to report the news?"
