    Someone needs to have a word with the editor if he/she thinks this is the most important news of the day.

    Well in a way, we're all deciding it in a roundabout way by our clicks and views online. The trends of social media are influencing TV news now.

    The majority of the country are wound up in nonsense and shallow ****e.

    The guy is married for ten years and has been working with immigration officials to adjust his status.

    Bit strange. Not your typical overstayed visa deal .

    Probably angled on the edge of you could/could have gone to prison for not having a TV licence to watch this yet they decide to put this as their main headline out of the blue, one lad breaking the law and the law responds. (not sure prison is still the case)

    Something along the lines of "Please keep the Fermoy 1 in jail"?
