    Utter Dross tbh. This is a good example of how not to write an article.
    Can they not think of anything more thought provoking and orginal?

    They seem to be really gunning for students today anyway

    http://www.independent.ie/national-news/grantaided-students-buying-more-booze-than-books-2017471.html

    Not only are our students engaging in casual sex but they also spend more money on booze than books. Well I never! What are we going to do, hopefully Sindo will enlighten us.

    The Sunday Independent is a hysterical joke of a newspaper anyway, so it's not surprising that they'd be outraged by pretty much anything. Shock! Horror! Evil!

    The funniest bit of this article is the pretense that they changed the name of the 'student' that the 'journalist' 'interviewed' in order to protect her identity.
    As if the 'interviewee is anything other than a figment of 'journalist's' imagination.
    Articles of this kind have been a staple of sunday newspapers for as long as I can remember; there's little else beside this kind of thing in the Sunday Independent, last time I checked.
    At one time they may have worked in a 'shock, horror, what are the kids coming to' kind of way; in no way journalism but at least ostensibly salacious enough to garner some publicity for the 'journalist'.
    This is just a particularly pathetic example of the oldest trick in the book.

    Plenty of my friends have **** buddies. I'd probably have one too if I wasn't an ugly bastard.
    It happens. Whoop-de-****ing-doo.

    Inflation must be very high in UCD, a few years ago the Sindo were saying you could get a blowjob for a cigarette, and now it's €5!

    I think there should be some sort of Godwin's Law, there probably is and I haven't heard of it when columnists have to write about sex/drugs/booze to sell a paper. I know people that have had f**k buddies and threesomes and all that craic but I don't need to read about it in the paper, it's not news it's bullshit that people do, the only time such topics should ever appear in the paper is in an agony aunt column. Newspapers are supposed to deal with facts not hearsay and shite talk. Passing this off as news is like passing off an article on the Beatles taking drugs or students like drinking or that the sky is blue, it's shit we know already.

    Why I remember back in UCD a cigarette would buy you a steak and kidney pie, a cup of coffee, a slice of cheesecake and a newsreel. With enough change left over to ride the trolley from Battery Park to the polo grounds.;)

    "...That's when my sex life really took off," says a 22-year-old engineering student at Trinity.

    Clearly bull****, everyone knows engineering students don't get any!

    Ah, John Drennan. A cheerleader for Bertie Ahern/FF throughout the 'boom' and a great friend of Brian Cowen who, when everything went to ****, conveniently decided to blame all ills on his erstwhile friend Mr. Cowen in order to hoodwink people into believing he and his colleauges at the Independent played no part in the mess; Brian Cowen, apparently, managed to cause it all by himself shortly after becoming Taoiseach.
    He can now be heard daily on your radio pontificating about what went wrong and what we need to do to get out of it.
    Also noteworthy for his tiresome use of 'amusing' similes.
    'Well Matt, it's a bit like...etc, etc.

    Never mind students, what about Sindo columnists and their loose morals/knickers?

    Terry Keane and "sweetie"

    And here's Sonia Harris from the "O3 team" and her adventure with John O'Shea ...
    Apparently O'Shea's family and girlfriend weren't impressed!

    Anyway Alison, have this Pulitzer Prize for your groundbreaking story ...:D

    "Life for me and many of my friends became highly sexualised when we started college. I was in Trinity and meeting girls not just from Ireland but America and England who would put out and lived on campus so it was easier to go back to someone's house for a bit of casual sex. That's when my sex life really took off," says a 22-year-old engineering student at Trinity.


    That pretty much kills any credibility the story might have had right there.

    Everyone knows engineering students never get laid.

    this story is a complete rip-off of a similar article that appeared in the review section of last week's sunday times, just dumbed down and trashed up to make it suitable for publication in the sindo.

    what a fcuking rag. articles like this, along with anything written by barry egan or brendan o connor destroy any credibility this alleged broadsheet purports to carry and dont even get me started on eoghan harris...

    Thanks for the link. What an enlightening read.
    I have no idea if this writer still plys her trade in Ireland.
    I hope so; it would be a great shame if a mind of this quality was no longer with us.

    +1.

    The only think that could shock me about this piece would be if any of these anonymous people were real.

    Questionable sourcing + dubious generalisations on the strength of those sources + a nice bit of hypocrisy (moral panic and low-rent titillation are such excellent bedfellows, don't you think?) = the perfect Sindo article.

    When IN&M eventually collapses under the weight of its debt and inflated salaries, I'll be fking delighted.

    Yeh, I posted it in the TCD forum, but it hits the spot because things used to be so much different in Belfield...
    "I remember father would be out on his horse galloping through the meadows, and me and Poppy and Dash would have picnics by the lake. Oh it was ever so much fun we had in those carefree days of yore."

    She's in PR now ...

    The "O3 team" featured her and two other girls with zero newspaper experience who were allowed to write whatever they wanted so long as it was "sexy" - more Sonia ...
