I don’t see anything there about [REDACTED] saving €[REDACTED] million after asking [REDACTED] for [REDACTED]…
Journal won’t report what went on in the Dail yesterday. Strange days indeed.
Overnight there has been an unprecedented attack on [redacted] by [redacted]. Thankfully [redacted] is a matter of public record. Social media [redacted] twitter etc [redacted redacted redacted] excellent news sources.
But reports about everyday events like a car or a lorry being on fire are really important.
Irish citizens (?) do not need to know about government decisions that effect their life, or oligarchs who have substantial interests, and who have former government members on boards of directors.
More stories about cats stuck in trees please!
It would be a good thing – both in the interest of journalist integrity and openness, if the Journal had an item in the headlines saying that it was not reporting events in the Dáil for fear of legal repercussions. Just pretending the big story of the day never happened is pretty poor.
Can’t find anything about what went on in the Dáil yesterday. Anyone have a link?
Found it! Can’t do links – but it’s in Broadsheet.ie- although the lawyers are getting jiggy so it might disappear too
Toddle along sheeple, no news today, lawyers too busy to write it up.
This cover up of DOB’S dodgy dealings is all over Facebook and Twitter. The writing is on the wall!
Redact all you like!
