Claire Byrne Live (RTE1)

Now Correct me if I'm wrong...but this murder wasn't a result of domestic abuse...so a women's refuge is utterly irrelevant

Point I was making. Everything from gender pay inequality to mother and baby homes also got mentioned.

All causes for justice I'd completely agree but raised in the context of an innocent girl having her life taken is just incredibly crass.

I think it's appalling how her family are being treated by the media on Sunday the family went to walk along the canal and not alone did the media say it. They also showed it in pictures/videos.

All these people are on about respect for women, etc and that's fine however they can't seem to respect people themselves.

Yes, I know news needs to reported but I think there's a better way to do and there's also need to discuss issues.

Similarly I know of another tragic case where a family had a private funeral. The put the death up on RIP and said it was private. They gave no mass times, etc. They even turned off the camera in the Church and yet people showed up at the church trying to get in, . Similarly the media also turned up to photograph it.

It's very striking how "Social Media" are being named as the bad guys in all this Vulgar Hysteria when in fact its Established print and TV media who are and continue to be the real Trolls. RTE & VMN stand out for the vulgarity displayed. The Narrative is actually less about the actual henious crime and more about what They perceive as a societal issue.

The Blame game has been utterly shocking, the obsession in seeking to blame and shame all men has been appalling . Dragging, completely un related challenges women face into this Tradegy is disgraceful.

The Gardai too don't escape my critism, they inadvertently stirred up hysteria and its simply beggar's belief information on the first, entirely innocent suspect wasn't leaked or briefed by them, unless of course people think it was the Tooth Fairy. That (Doctor), Pat Leahy Fella is an utter clown and one of Claires go too "Experts' on her ghastly radio show.

The sight of Politicians, Campaign groups, Personalities jumping on the populist Bandwagon, is just vile and frankly vomit enducing.

This was clearly a Random attack and no amount of outrage and hysteria can change that, Talk of a Minister for women, review of School Slybus is utterly absurd and even Sam Mc Konkey weighed into the absurdity over the weekend, now that pandemic is winding down.

But of course, we all know, by Friday next, the, Narrative, Priorities, dare I say outrage and focus will move onto some other populist agenda.

The Past week has been a Stain on two fronts. The appalling Tradegy and the quite extraordinary (not in a good way) hijacking of this Tradegy by a populist and frankly narrow minded cohort of Politicians, Journalists, crass celebrities and focus lobby who should, but of course, won't be ashamed of themselves.

RIP Ashling Murphy 🙏

He could have been cleaning his spectacles!

The Taoiseach, President and Minister for Justice will all be at the funeral today. It seems excessive today especially as the family have asked for privacy after so much national attention

I turned it off, the media exposure has turned this tragedy into a circus

The Ministers for Arts and Education turned up also. It’s getting ridiculous

Exactly, or often a malteser will fall down your crotch and cause untoward material and reputational damage should it melt before you wrangle it out.

Such are the realities that need a clause at least in the new watershed legislation.

Zero Tolerance, he should have had his balls choped off on the spot.

No questions asked, just do it to protect society.
