    “A few weeks ago, a guy tried to get in while he was getting a beating. I think he was using me to get away from it – but all he was doing was inviting it on me."

    So did he take the fare or leave yer man to it...? :confused:

    It reads like a piss poor attempt at a Hunter S esque piece.

    Like something my 12 year old would do for her homework.

    The prose not the yokes.

    Reads like he left him there, but could be selective reporting tbh.

    Good man Wayne O'Connor, the degree in journalism is really paying off.

    Fantastic piece of insightful reporting, 1 am in Limerick is apparently a unique experience not like any other town in western Europe, so informative in fact it was published.

    I actually know the journalist in real life, he has done other pieces that are quite good, I'm struggling to see the purpose of this article. Only feels like it's partly written.
