    Warning: Do NOT name anybody personally, accuse individuals or specific organisations, or provide information that could get boards.ie or yourself sued.

    Irish filmmaker Lenny Abrahamson has said "powerful abusers" in Ireland will be hoping their colleagues will remain silent as revelations about Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein's sexual harassment of dozens of women continue to emerge.
    "Right now, here in Ireland, there will be powerful abusers relying on the silence of colleagues. Let’s hope their time is up," the Room director said in a string on Tweets posted on Thursday.

    It wouldn't surprise me to be honest.

    I suspect there are known predators and perverts who have been operating in these industries for decades:
    Irish movie industry
    the modelling world/fashion industry
    RTE
    Billy Barry Kids or children's entertainment
    the music industry

    Have any of you witnessed or heard of suspect behaviour?

    It takes the first drop to develop into a stream.
    I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm not going to behave like one of those twisted hypocrites in Hollywood and play dumb.

    Now is the time to ask questions and establish what, if any, abuse is going on...


    Again, do NOT name individuals or slander anyone.
