    "GARDAI in Ballinasloe have confimed to Galway Bay Fm News that investigations are "ongoing" regarding an alleged sexual incident involving an official said to have been working with a Fine Gael figure.

    The incident is alleged to have happened during the Union of students in Ireland (USI) conference in Ballinasloe last march.

    According to a report in "The Sunday Times" the alleged incident took place at the USI congress at the Carlton Shearwater Hotel between March 25th and 28th.

    But a Garda source in Ballinasloe says that while investigations into the allegation are ongoing it would be "inappropriate" to make any further comment on it at present.

    The report states that the man, alleged to be central to the investigations, had held several positions within Fine Gael and works closely with a politician from the party.

    It also states that the man at the centre of the allegations had a position with USI but no longer holds it.

    It is understood that the Fine Gael politician, with whom the man is associated, is not from the West of Ireland"

    First of all this is disgraceful if true, not helping the image of male TD's, especially after "LapGate". But what is more surprising is that it hasnt been mentioned at ALL in National Irish Media.

    This story should be getting more attention I would have thought, and could be the start of something unprecedented , if true of course

    It seems from the paragraph that it was a male USI member that was the victim, could be the start of something unprecedented , if true of course


    My brains in overdrive here wondering whom this might refer to.......

    Dude, where did the link come from if it hasn't been mentioned by the media??

    Seriously, if this thread isn't locked by the time I hit submit reply, I'd be surprised, ongoing investigations and speculation thereof tend not to be well recieved by mods.

    The current edition of the phoenix had it and said that the story was just about to break 9and I guess that it has)

    Its a really badly written piece but I dont think it was a male USI member who was the victim it simply doesnt say.

    And alleged Fine Gael sex Probe gives the wrong impression as well as the person under investigation might not even be a member of FG.

    Tabloid Trash at its worst.

    I think you are making wild assumptions there

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Is the Connacht Tribune not media, or does only Dublin based media count?

    That was my point, he had taken a link from a media source, yet claimed that it hadn't been mentioned in the media......

    If this is just about to break as was suggested earlier in the thread, the dopey
    lapgate and now fannygate will be washed away in insignificance.
