Director claims there are powerful sexual abusers in Irish media and entertainment

Warning: Make sure you use 'allegedly' if naming names in this thread. Or just don't name the person if you are unsure of the legal implications.

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'm sure there are known predators 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...
