"Swastikas being spray-painted by the Irish students on to walls of the accommodation ensured the gendarmes were called," said another source.

How the fcuk could any editor worth their job let such a sloppy, lazy, completely unsubstantiated and possibly libelous piece of journalism into the paper. The Indo is now a tabloid for all intents and purposes, it hasn't done any serious journalism in at least 5 years.

I know that not one of them took part in the activity, because they were all too busy getting pissed and stoned in their rooms for the weekend. I think they were all doing PHDs in Oblivion. I could write it, but I won't (unless the money's good)

There are literally thousands of people in this country who get up to worse every weekend, but that wouldn't make it a story. It's this Alison burd's ignorance that annoys me. Even if it was true, it's still a non-story. So some douchebags acted like douchebags on holiday, big deal. Some girl woke up with lads being freaks, fair enough that's appauling behaviour, but there's more newsworthy abuse stories than 3 lads having a **** in the same room as a girl.

We're even allowed ride or high-horse to class and the laws of the college state they have to stable them for us. Seriously though, most Trinity students are proper tw*ts.
