Should Private Schools be Closed?

The three "private school" boys were questioned about the attack, but it doesn't say the little sh*t who was arrested was from the same school. It conveniently leaves that part out.

So some kids who may have witnessed the before or afters were asked some questions. Normal. It doesn't imply at.all. that they had anything to do with the attack.

Such a fcuking rag.

Sure a fcuk load of my friends were questioned about Raoinaid Murray's murder because they were at a party in Dun Laoghaire that night. None of them were ever suspects. And none of them went to fee paying schools but sure what relevance is that.

Sources say the suspect is a student in one of the country’s best-known private secondary schools, which charges substantial annual fees.

I agree it's a rag but the suspect is from the same school.

Students from another fee charging school suspected of slashing man with Swiss army knife.



Three teenage students at one of south Dublin’s most prestigious private schools have been questioned about a savage knife attack that left a man with horrific facial injuries.

The incident happened shortly before midnight on Christmas Eve in Dalkey when a row broke out over a teenage girl.

The 26-year-old victim, who is from the Glenageary area of the capital, almost lost an eye and suffered huge blood loss when he was stabbed in the face with a Swiss Army knife.

His suspected attacker, a 17-year-old boy from Killiney, was arrested on Tuesday and questioned at Shankill Garda Station before being released without charge.

Completely off the point of his education, how in god's name can you take the side of someone who "used the knife in a punching motion and the knife just missed the victim’s eye by a fraction,” a source said.
“The knife was then dragged along the injured man’s face, all the way to his neck. He suffered huge blood loss and terrible injuries to his face", even and especially not knowing what brought it on!!

"Stood up to him"........... By that (albeit tabloidesque) description from this supposed source, he put the guys life in danger.
Yeah, good man, you have pinpointed the correct "knacker" in this event........

A classic piece of gutter journalism from the chip wrapper and I can't see what it has to do with the thread.

It suits someone's anti private school agenda, in their own thwarted midset

Just 'out of interest', here's a different version of the story that popped up on my news feed. It apparently has slightly less of an agenda in its reporting.

I really don't get this 'chip on the shoulder' about fee paying schools.
The state provides free second level ed to all. If some parents are happy to spend a certain amt of their after tax income to send kids to fee paying schools best of luck to them.
Don't see it any different to taking kids to boxing, horse riding, gymnastics etc...
You pay extra for extra.
I went to a cbs with no fees and I intend sending my kids there too. I don't think they're worth the money personally but don't begrudge those that do.

What does that have to do with anything? You're breeding baseless speculation and hatred. Take it to that rag's comments section.

Sorry but this thread is just ridiculous. If anyone would like to discuss the topics on this thread without a personal agenda, go ahead and make a thread.
