    Because it's the truth!
    Maybe so. And if it's true then it shows that the News Department is a bit slack if they couldn't track down the freelancers who were reporting on the case and get the story from them. I wonder if they would have the same problem if the case didn't involve one of their own?!

    I note that Cork 96fm's Neil Prendeville's recent "difficulty" was the lead story on their News bulletins all morning. Their handling of the case is to be applauded: extremely professional and excellent damage limitation.

    I'm not having a go personally, Pat65, but Lenny does have a point - there was copy available from at least one other reporter, who could have done a voiced report for yis. I do understand that things are tight there, as they are in all media, but something could have been sorted out, if the will was there.
    Anyhoo, I understand your CEO is more than a little obsessed with billboard campaigns, which seems to me to be at the expense of your news and sports coverage.
    I'm sure if the billboard money was diverted into hiring another body for news and sports coverage, you or I would not complain.

    P.S. I'm delighted for Mr. Morrissey who, in my view as a listener from time to time, is one of the better ones at Tipp FM.

    I should have said earlier that I do not know Mr Morrissey sowas/am not commenting on his Court case merely on the attitude of the stations News Dept. In effect it puts a question mark over their whole credibility as a News provider given that they choose not to/could not cover this particular story it begs the question as to how many other stories go unreported due to 'lack of resources'? One wonders how many cases involving other violent incidents do not make it into the public domain. This was a violent incident after all...

    +1

    why weren't we told it would be reported regardless of verdict until verdict was known?

    And for what it's worth for those who feel we do not report on court cases which are "close to home" - Deputy McGrath is an uncle of former Tipp FM journalist Aoife McGrath

    I liked Aoife when she presented Tipp Today,I thought she made a good connection with the listeners,and treated them on air as equals.I hope she is not one of the staff suffering from the downturn,But my tagline from the last week would be " The Nationalist..First for the news in Tipperary "

    And Tipp Today had no problem talking to a reporter from cork, to have a good laugh and plenty of puns,about the 96 Fm presenter ,and what he got up to on a flight from London.

    They are still reporting about the Tipp murder which makes them a laughing stock. They claim to have all news but have no local news on sat/sun until 10 am. earlier news come from a feed and yet are said to be direct from tipp fm

    bet they would ignore it if it was one of theirs
