Dont know if anyone else has seen it yet, but they have a picture of the alleged cause of the c*ck up regarding the Leaving Certificate English Paper 2.
Head line in effect that he has cost us and the government €1million .
Does anyone else think this is a bit f*cking much from The Sun??
I mean:
The man is a 66 year old retired Teacher,supervising the Leaving cert Exams for some extra cash.
I presume the man has a wife and family.
He hasnt killed or murdered anyone.
He hasn't raped or abused anyone.
he made a Human error, simple as that.
I think its bloody disgraceful on behalf of The Sun.
Real criminals can't be named and shamed in society...
Rant over.
Any thoughts ???

That_Guy · 06-06-2009 12:49PM

Think you've got it spot on. What do you expect though from The Sun? They'll always blow things way out of proportion.

It's The Sun. What do you expect?

Aidric · 06-06-2009 12:51PM

The Sun in lynch campaign shocker.

Captain-America · 06-06-2009 12:51PM

Do they show a photograph of the man?

Lord Trollington · 06-06-2009 12:52PM

I dont except the Excuse "its the Sun what do you expect".. i'm sorry.

alan4cult · 06-06-2009 12:53PM

Yes a photograph with a hat on his head that has a "D" marked on it. No sympathy for that man. He tried to cover it up and had 2.5 hours to think it over in his head and failed to tell an inspector who called.

I bloody well hope not. It'd be an utter disgrace if they did. Human error is all it was. No need to name and shame. It'll all blow over in a few days anyway.

Lord Trollington · 06-06-2009 12:53PM

And Yes they show a picture.
Please no one go out and but this tripe just to see it...

Captain-America · 06-06-2009 12:54PM

I believe the man got what was coming to him, but I'd go short of shaming him.

thescruff · 06-06-2009 12:55PM

The guy retired from teaching presumably and should retire or be retired from enviligating exams.
Obviously he is not up to handing out the correct papers.
The exam service should stop employing people over 65, age of this guy quoted in papers is 66.

I like your attitude. Why don't we just put old people in the bin while we're at it?

Grow up a little.

Don't get yourself worked up over the crap printed in that rag...you'll live longer.

If it bothers you that much send a complaint to the Press Commission or something, After Hours forum isn't the best place for serious journalistic debate.

Lord Trollington · 06-06-2009 12:57PM

He got punished enough.. Shamed by his peers.
Effecting some 60,000 Leaving Cert Students.
Causing the Exam to be moved to saturday.
The man has to live with this for the rest of his life.
There are paedofiles and rapists that get way without being named and shamed.
What a fu*ked up society we live in.
And anyone who thinks this is accepatable, well what can i say....

You sir are an ageist.

Pyr0 · 06-06-2009 12:59PM

So if it was a person over 40 should they stop hiring people over 40 ?

keefg · 06-06-2009 01:00PM

:D You should get a job writing for The Sun

:D

Its not a serious journalistic debate i want.. Its just the toughts of other regular people like myself that i want.

Placid_Casual · 06-06-2009 01:01PM

I wouldn't use that particular "news"paper for bogroll.

Tiesto · 06-06-2009 01:01PM

You came to the wrong forum to find people like that.

Usual Fare for the 'Oirish' Sun & the 'Oirish' Daily Mail is not far behind. Sensationalist & anti Irish rags.

They have every right to print a story that's in the public eye, and blow it out of proportion to sell more copies

It's the people taking anything in that paper seriously that I'd be worried about

A million euro is a million euro. It's not like it decreases in value if the Government own it. Which they don't. It's taxpayer's money.

yeah sure it could have been much better spent....
Like hundreds of million spent by the government!!

Captain-America · 06-06-2009 01:06PM

You're steering way off the point here. Just because other money has been blown doesn't mean another million should be. What's your point?

Lord Trollington · 06-06-2009 01:09PM

How much are the abusing preists,Nuns asn brothers going to cost us in the long run?
None of them will be named and shamed in the papers.
The money will be jsut handed out without question.
And that is coming out of our pocket, well 90% of it
