    She took tom mcfeely's photo in a bar and he went mad. Hardly surprising really but not justified with the violence.

    Former member of the Provisional IRA, par for the course.

    It's not nice an Irish journalist harassing one of her majesty's loyal subjects like that.

    (he's a bit of a fat boy I see, maybe he should lay off the food for a few days....)

    The person who hasn't posted a link to the story.

    She happened to be in the bar and sniffed a story, Developer on the verge of bankruptcy, refusing to sort out issues with his buildings, enjoying a drink on holidays in a high end resort. Fair game I'd say.

    Seems to be a bit of hyperbole in her story though, she should have stuck to the facts and probably shouldn't have tried to blind side a person who allegedly has a history of violence and intimidation if she wasn't up for it. I wonder why she was in a bar which is known to attract Irish developer types by herself? Looking to ambush someone maybe?

    Also seems to be some legal issue with him being named, probably because she couldn't find a solid source to independently name the guy in the photo before the publication deadline.

    The way she writes the article, she writes it as if she is creating an mystery novel!
    Its very bad reporting to say the least!
    Especially for a front-page article!

    She was caught up close snapping someone's pic - ok, he might be a criminal (not proved by them!) - and she gets told off (maybe too much?) but then she writes as if she was a poor innocent victim!!!

    If someone got in my face with a camera and started snapping, I wouldn't be too happy about it either!

    If one is going to face someone of possible ill-repute, the last thing you want to be doing is provoking the person up-close.

    Someone should teach her the lesson behind the words "Let sleeping dogs lie!"

    "...looking at the menacing spiked remains in his hand.. his new-found weapon

    And then he came for me, My face, My throat. I don't know where he wanted to slam it into me

    In that instant I fully believe I was screaming for my life"

    lol

    It may seem like a stupid question but...

    If she/they don't know who he is:

    1. How did she know who to take a picture of?
    2. How did she know he was a developer?
    3. Frankly, how did she know what bar to go to, to take a picture of a person she not knows his name?
    4. How did she identify him, by picture she carried with herself? And if so (or not), if she had some way of knowing who she was looking for - then surely she must know his name?
    5. How can they say in the article header "Notorious developer" - then ask who is he? :confused::confused::confused:

    DUH!

    I smell something totally fishy about her whole story!

    Niamh Horan,









    Absolute waste of a sperm! I heard Alison O riordan trained her as a "journo".

    I have more respect for the poor guys who write jokes for Penguin bars and Christmas crackers than those two fuckwits.

    i swear, if he put the navy and white gear on him and walked down o'connell st. you'd easily place him for a junked up scumbag, he's got that head and face.

    Its just embarrassing that this article is on any page, never mind front page!
    They really are dredging the bottom of the barrel with supposed reporters of this calibre.

    I'm outraged that this dopey c*unt gets paid and calls herself a journalist for writing 12-year old fiction on the front of a national rag.

    She's dead now anyway as her report states her heart stopped and there's no report of CPR or wiring her into the mains. All good.
