    I notice from a number of commentators that this matter has not featured in the Irish press, or at least, not even "a word" in the papers mentioned by them, and so I'm wondering why is that.
    What is it about this that the Irish press consider unworthy of coverage, or, if you like, what is it that the author of this piece is glossing over that would have extinguished any interest in it from the start?

    I've been looking around to see which section to ask this and I'm not still sure this is the right one; If not, my apologies, and kindly move it.

    For some reason we are not allowed to say one bad word against religion in this country, - it is ridiculous!!! Religion is "enshrined" in our constitution for some reason, and our representatives will not do anything to change that fact!! - All they do is try and tippy-toe around it!!! -Despite all the scandals being unearthed in recent years they do nothing!!!
    The best, easiest and most obvious thing to solve all of this religious bull**** is to separate religion and state like they did in America, - but here all we do is put more lipstick on the pig that is religion.

    We all know these laws are about not offending the muslims. Irish press a bunch of wimps.

    I've just found the news & media group. The question about why this story is being allegedly ignored in Ireland is probably more appropriate for there. so that's where I'll try again

    It is probably being ignored because it is a total non-story and people have better things to do than read about whiny attention seekers pull some PR stunt that will, in all likelihood, have absolutely zero impact on anything.
