RIRA hero Alan Ryan's buddies threaten life of female journalist

    As reported here...

    http://www.independent.ie/national-news/associates-of-slain-real-ira-boss-alan-ryan-send-death-threats-to-female-journalist-3310247.html
    A PROMINENT woman journalist has received chilling death threats from sympathisers of Real IRA terror boss Alan Ryan.

    The crime reporter, who works for a national newspaper, received two threatening phone calls after Ryan sympathisers put her mobile number and other personal details on a memorial website last night.

    Photos of the reporter, along with her email address, were also posted on the website, which led to thugs ringing her phone and threatening to kill her.

    When the reporter became aware that her personal details had been posted online, she immediately contacted gardai.
    Well I for one am sickened that this RIRA hero, a man beloved by the Dublin underclass, is being so badly let down by the actions of his sympathisers. They are giving dissident Republican thugs a bad name.

    Ryan wouldn't have liked that at all. He had a thing for female journalists

    Damn, I meant to predict in my post that some folks would criticise the admittedly rubbish paper rather than the guys issuing the death threats...

    Oh right, didn't realise the following was completely sincere.

    Anyone know what paper the story was in? I'm assuming it was the same paper that had a pic of Celtic's Anthony Stokes having great craic at this 'fundraiser'.

    hahahahaha!!

    Some of the things said about Alan Ryan and his family after he died in the media have been utterly disgraceful - why didn't journalists have the (proverbial) balls to say all of these things when he was alive? Especially considering he would never have bothered to sue.

    If she is the woman who wrote the disgraceful article about the memorial fundraiser that was held then I'm not at all surprised people are upset, one of the finest example of gutter journalism you're likely to see.

    That said death threats are not acceptable whatsoever and hopefully the people who did it are held to account.

    did you read it?

    If it is the one I'm thinking of as I said, might have been more than one article on it

    If it's the one with the pic of Stokes beside it then yeah I did. Didn't see anything wrong with it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,652 ✭✭✭fasttalkerchat


    Idiots, idiots everywhere...

    Embarrassing that someone makes a crank call, that the details were posted on a memorial page and that this was printed in a paper.

    Rest In Peace should mean just that!

    Care to link the supposed article or at least give the general gist of it?

    To be fair, if it is 'disgraceful' to call a racketeering murder suspect exactly that, then we are all screwed.

    Well it all started back in............it's called sarcasm.

    Tell that to the victims of the Omagh bomb and every other victim of the Real IRA. Disgraceful that there are people prepared to deify someone who belonged to a terrorist organisation.

    That's a terrible thing to say about this man. He has friends and family and I'm sure they are hurting right now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 737 ✭✭✭Jezek


    'has been died' ? maybe the death threats were from Grammar Nazis. FFS

    Lol, good old double standards I see.

    The best solution would have seen him sharing a cell with Ryan for the rest of their lives, not executed by scumbags.

    And people wonder why kids are killing each other.

    I'm waiting for the guys who came out with that stuff when Alan Ryan was snuffed to come out and back me up.

    Worked out rather well for the public, guy who did it was caught

    Why? Because he was such a nice guy? It's has actually been a great year for getting rid of scum like these. Today two more scumbags are off the street. Any sane person would have no sympathy for these scumbag's families and friends who support their scumbag activities.

    Totally agree.

    just wondering, whatever became of the old saying, never speak ill of the dead.

    It was recognised as a thought-terminating cliché.

    Probably because she would have got death threats.

    Like right now.........
