    If they made something like this up they would leave themselves wide open for litigation. RTE could sue the pants off them. I try to read all the papers and I've never seen the paper as anything but reliable. Alos, RTE are covering it, so that should be good enough.

    big whoop de do.

    exactly.

    all we need now is someone from the Sun/Sunday Indo/other rag to leave some scat porn magazines in the carpark and do an exclusive on the disgusting perverts at RTE, for the knuckle-dragging masses that read those "papers".

    You didn't say crap, you said it was probably heroin belonging to the journalist. That is slanderous.
    The amount of newspaper snobs on this forum is incredible.

    The Sun, reliable? lol.

    Anyhow, as much as I loathe RTE, you could probably find traces of drugs/heroin in most places. Without details it is meaningless.

    Any link to the sun story itself?

    You mean that tragedy happened way back in 1989 and was covered by the English Sun, not the Irish Sun. You must be a Liverpool fan. The story the Sun wrote back then was actually in about four or five papers. Each of the papers got their info from the chief superintendent investigating and a politician. Can't think of any news organistation that wouldn't run a story with those sources.

    I did not say it was probably heroin belonging to the journalist. Nor did I say the journalist was a heroin user. When I posted about standards I was referring to the quality of their writing.

    Again, I never said the story wasn't true. I do think they sensationalise their headlines though.

    There is nothing wrong with being a newspaper snob. If I buy a newspaper I want actual news. I don't want to read about who Jordan is riding now. It's all gutter reporting.

    Edit: I'm not wasting my 1000th post on the Sun so I'm out.

    Glad to know the 160 Euro I'm forced to pay for my TV License even though I purposefully don't watch any of our useless National Stations, is being used for good in the world and not lining the pockets of Heroin abusers, and digustingly overpaid 'celebrities'.

    Oh ... wait ...

    Pat Kenny wants a word with you....he needs to come down from the heroin first though.

    Not going to believe this till I read it from a reliable source.

    As we speak Alison O' Riordan is probably scouring the scour bowls in RTE for more proof so the Indo can reliably publish this:pac:

    Today's story of faux-outrage reminds me of this one from a few years back:
    Cocaine found on all Irish bank notes

    12 January 2007

    Low levels of cocaine have been found on all the Irish bank notes tested in a recent survey.

    As part of a major study into illicit drug use within Ireland, Brett Paull and colleagues at Dublin City University have taken advantage of recent developments in liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry to detect contamination on Irish euro notes. Traces of cocaine were found on every one of the 45 used notes analysed, and traces of heroin were found on three notes.

    Higher levels of cocaine were found on the higher denomination notes, and of the 45 used bank notes, two showed levels that would suggest direct contact with the drug, probably from being used to inhale the cocaine, Paull suggested. The team suspects that the cocaine found on the other bank notes is due to cross-contamination between notes in the counting processes in financial institutions.

    LINK

    The story ended up being reported in newspapers all around the world.

    If you are going to Qatar you could legally get arrested for having notes with traces of cocaine on it. Unreal stuff.

    Even if you took some prescription meds in Ireland and arrived there with some in your blood they can take you in. People better be caution when flaunting their bobs when in Qatar!!!

    The Sun was, is and will for the forseeable future be the epitome of gutter journalism. Written for and read by the plebbs of this world.

    Yawn...it would be nice to have an intelligent discussion about this, but it seems to be beyond some people. Even those brazen enough to call themselves "Sir". The epitome of populist one tripe you might say.
