    And because a bunch of unknown Ballymun teenagers are less likely to sue the paper.

    Well, in fairness, that is because the Ballymun teenagers haven't been identified wheras KF has.

    "in fairness", what 'fairness?.

    It annoys me that we still pussy foot around Miss French and her addiction to drugs and its 'fair' to make assumptions on the people of Ballymun and places like it.

    Fact; I grew up in Ballymun, my family still lives there. I wouldn't know cocaine or heroine (can't even spell the damn words, lol) if they jumped up an kicked me in the ballox. And I know not one member of my family would either.

    Anyway Wishbone sorry if I sound annoyed at you, I'm not. This is just an issue which really wobbles my tits.

    Dito... Your right Mairt, Its about time that people grew out of such stereotypes. I grew up in ballymun myself and my family are still there. It's unfair that people still receive different reactions based upon class, especially in this day an age.

    However, wheter or not drugs were involved in the said inccident is irrelivant. The video is just plain crude... Yet i can't help but feel it would be taking more seriously if the young people invoved where from Dalkey, malahide, Kiliney etc.

    I'm sure her family could though.

    The whole thing is such a ricidulous thing to have as major news in your paper. Teenagers in Ballymun have sex, so what teenagers everywhere have sex, so we'll throw in the word "cocaine" with the emphasis on Ballymun and try to make it into a story, no-one will ever be able to prove otherwise. Ridiculous.

    That it happened in Ballymun isn't really relevant. The Sun would have had greater glee if it occurred in Foxrock.

    Printing an allegation against a group of teenagers is completely different from doing so against a named individual.

    You forgot to put FACT at the end, thereby making the claim irrefutable.
