    When did Alison O'Riordan come back? I thought she'd left the country to try her skills abroad.
    Noticed her name attached to a press article this morning in the Sindo in relation to a Dunne wedding.

    So now she's back? From outerspace? I just walked in to find her there with that same sad look upon her face.

    Nivek's father Kevin who she is named after (Nivek is Kevin spelt backwards) gave the beautiful bride away.

    Fascinating stuff

    "Clongowes chapel was an obvious choice for the mass," said one source, referring to the fact that his father, Carlow developer Sean Dunne had paid out €1m to build Ireland's first all-weather rugby pitch when his sons attended the school.
    Sean Dunne has consented to an order being made against him, directing him to repay more than €185m to NAMA

    Hey Mr Dunne.
    How about paying back NAMA before splashing out on flashy Celtic Tiger style weddings

    Jaysus, one million on a football pitch while NAMA goes unpaid

    The man should be living on no more then the dole until that money is paid back. Not flying in from the USA and owning houses around Ireland
    Media-shy Stephen Dunne, himself a property developer, is a past pupil of Ireland's leading boarding school, Clongowes Wood College, near Clane, Co Kildare, where he yesterday married Nivek Begley, from Blackrock, Co Dublin.


    Friends from private secondary school Alexandra College in Milltown, south Dublin, from where the now events services professional Ms Begley graduated in 2004 were in abundance, driving an array of Mini Coopers.

    What's with all the name dropping?
    Why is going to private secondary school such a big deal for Alison?
    Nivek's father Kevin who she is named after (Nivek is Kevin spelt backwards) gave the beautiful bride away.

    They may have money but they sure don't have class :rolleyes:

    Oh Christ, and to think that I almost bought the independent this morning. Thankfully I just stayed in bed instead of going to the shop.

    For those that don't konw she is the freelance "journalist" who writes atrocious pieces and then flogs the same pieces to a few periodicals and is a generallly self centered idiotic individual who blames everyone else for her excesses.

    Like buying a shoe box with no parking for half a million and ranting about it to any rag that would publish it.

    The pitch was built back when his son first went to the school.

    Did you read the article at all?

    This was the original epic boards thread I signed my life away for the sake of city centre apartment

    I thought she'd gone to the States to try out something new but she must've returned unnoticed. I don't understand how she gets paid to write the stuff she does.

    Condescending attitude to someone not reading one of her 'articles'?.........Really?

    Did she graduate from Columbia?

    Her writing hasn't improved much.

    Maybe Alison and Niamh Horan will become the Woodward and Bernstein of Dublin, breaking major scoops on high-class spas buying face creams from Aldi and such and such.

    Unfortunately you are in the minority thinking that or she would have other avenues to explore for paying for her shoebox.;)

    Aren't we here at Boards prohibited from discussing her after the last time?

    I saw she was back writing in Ireland a few weeks ago. According to an article in Irish Central she went and did a masters in Journalism in Columbia University.

    Of course, if you are going to complain about something then do it right...complaining about something which isn't even an issue just distracts from the important parts, like Alison being a talentless wench.

    Also, don't forget about all them free drugs she was finding.

    Maybe they should rip the pitch up or something? :confused:

    Just had read through the original article in the other thread and came across
    It was, however, weeks before the collapse in the middle of 2008, when prices tumbled. I ignored repeated warnings both from my parents and the Central Bank and instead ploughed in head first and handed over the money.
    Absolutley no sympathy for the gob****e

    I never saw this article where Broadsheet were forced by the Irish Times to remove a photo of her and replaced it with an artist's rendition:

    http://files.broadsheet.ie/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/alisun.jpg

    Near laughed up my breakfast.

    She obviously didn't learn much about journalism if she's still writing pieces like this one.
