    Lack of media reporting, uses media reporting as evidence. Well done.

    Follow up stories there are none. No arrests apparently.

    Per the thread title and specifically with reference to foreign nationals committing the alleged sexual offences in the above cases; there are no follow-up stories meaning, worryingly, there are sex pest foreigners raping our women out on the loose.

    It’s racist to point out foreign nationals raping, burgling or terrorising communities.

    Also, Irish people like Larry Murphy sexually assault people too.

    They’re the most common responses you’ll get I reckon.

    So you're extracting from the fact that because you don't see a follow up to the media stories that aren't in the media that the Garda didn't follow up?

    Well these are serious crimes and garner a lot of attention, especially an apparently random sexual assault in Dublin city centre, next to the office of the Irish Times.

    But newspapers aren't in the business of reporting "no news today"

    And bad news is always sneaked out by the government when there is something else really important going on. And the only people who notice it are the thousands who point out this fact on the internet.

    Doesn't fit the MSM bigoted far left wing agenda OP.

    Not one of those articles mentions a foreign national. You're literally just adding that in yourself.

    Also, the first article is literally from 12 hours ago. How do you expect an update so quickly?

    Also also, most of the time the media will report on a breaking news report, such as a crime. They only go in to the follow up if the case takes national attention.

    Also also also, the first links video doesn't even have audio. It's just a recording of the Garda station.

    But, let's see how many people start blaming the foreigners before actually reading the articles.

    Its similar to the epidemic of female teachers raping underage students. Its not reported because it doesnt suit the narrative

    I tried it. The only result was this thread.

    It'll show me there is an "epidemic"? But you just said it's not reported on? And if it isn't reported on, how do you know it is an epidemic?

    It certainly does happen but it's unlikely an epidemic or covered up, however it's not taken as seriously as it should be because of all the guys who think it's great when an underage lad is taken advantage of by a much older woman.

    Mod note:And we'll leave it there, seeing as the media reported on the non reported stories.
