    Ray you are an idiot, Jill Meaghers killer was a serial sex offender, he was on parole for other sex offences when he committed the crime.

    Bayley's arrest and the finding and exhumation of Meagher's body generated considerable media and public response, especially when it was soon revealed that Bayley was already on parole for a series of sexual offences.

    And now a sad music piece.

    I wonder will he do this from now on for every person who is murdered in the country?

    He didn't have any song for the man gunned down outside his house in Ballyfermot on Sunday morning with the killer(s) still at large.

    As tragic and sad as it is I can't help but think if she was from another demograph or say inner city Dublin would it get as much mention?!

    Yes but it was made somehow seem ok, the man had no links to crime yet there was no outrage on Liveline, D'Arcy etc. I didn't see the story mentioned anywhere except in the news headlines.

    Hi Raymond. I know you read these.

    Why should men be ashamed for something they didn't do.

    Feel sorry for the family yes.

    Think that man should be locked up forever .yes.

    But MEN didn't do anything wrong. 1 man did.

    You really are some fool.

    You should be ashamed for stealing a wage for what you do

    The problem with these woke types and Darcy is one of them, is that they think if we educate males from an early age this will eradicate these horrible incidents happening.

    Wake up call Ray, it won't. There are just scumbags out there who no matter how they are educated will still commit horrendous crimes. The woke agenda also gives women a false sense of security which is dangerous.

    A woman was murdered in her house in my town last year. Killed by her boyfriend I believe. She was Polish, and a waitress I think.

    So, I wonder why Ray wasn't ashamed to be a man that day??



  • Registered Users Posts: 8,530 ✭✭✭PieOhMy


    There was two people tragically killed in the IFSC last year. Where was the apologies to to the state on behalf of all males then. The media's reaction to this horrific event has been disgraceful and counter productive. The only appropriate move today was Duffy not being on liveline.

    Yes Raymond, disbelief today over the handling of this by AGS and the media, let's hope for justice's sake they improve

    PS leave her family alone, you rating chasing ghoul.

    The issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution.

    The Entryism process: 1) Demand access; 2) Demand accommodation; 3) Demand a seat at the table; 4) Demand to run the table; 5) Demand to run the institution; 6) Run the institution to produce more activists and policy until they run it into the ground.

    We still don't know yet Ray whether it is a male or female suspect they are looking for, don't jump the gun.



  • Registered Users Posts: 994 ✭✭✭rightmove


    Its great having to feel ashamed for a crime committed that you had nothing to do with but share the same gender. Same as we should all be ashamed as Irish people because this happened in ireland. there is absolutely not logic to this nonsense and its a disgrace that the media are milking it to push their sexist agendas

    Does D'Arcy understand the terms sexism or racism?



  • Registered Users Posts: 994 ✭✭✭rightmove


    love all the media nonsense - newstalk at it & women looking for strong male allies. The must not understand that being strong means standing up for what is right and this witch hunt is absolutely WRONG.



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,504 ✭✭✭SpitfireIV


    Another sad song...



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,504 ✭✭✭SpitfireIV


    A 'moment of reflection' and another emotive tune, this is getting really uncomfortable...



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,550 ✭✭✭avfc1874


    That man. Shot with his family in the house 2 weeks ago, not a squeak from anyone. Wierd



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,143 ✭✭✭mountain


    Darcy asking quiz contestant if her 11 year old daughter was aware of what happened, was kinda creepy



  • Registered Users Posts: 33,485 ✭✭✭✭NIMAN


    This is all optics. Rte doing broadcasts from Tullamore, Darcy telling us he cried and is ashamed to be a man etc etc.

    The media are doing a lot of this as much for their own image as any thought of a young woman they never met.

    Today FM are having a mins silence! Now that's a big step, and setting a precedence. Will there be a mins silence every time someone is murdered now in Ireland or will it just be for certain victims? Murder is murder and all are shocking tragedies.

    Those 3 young kids murdered by their mum last year. How come they didn't get a mins silence?

    That poor man gunned down outside his house last week. Apparently totally innocent and if so that is awful, but that was only news for a day.

    Fact is, people are murdered in every country in the world. This murder is just another one of them, no matter how social media and the mainstream media try to dress it up. It's not some sort of watershed. Women will be murdered again in Ireland, it's just because the world is full of humans.

    There is also an element of stoking the fear among women with blanket coverage. I listened to a man on Donegal local radio this morning, a father of 4 daughters aged 18 to 30. He said they were already afraid to go out because they feared getting spiked and raped, and now this.

    So 4 adults are afraid to socialise because of a grossly overhyped crime that appears not to really exist in any numbers. But due to the mass hysteria over spiking for a period, women now think they are going to get injected when they go out.


    To finish on, may this poor girl rip, and I feel so sorry for her family, friends and pupils. No one deserves to have their life taken away like this. I hope the culprit is caught and never sees daylight again. But I do think her death is being somewhat hijacked by certain folk.

    We must be the best country in the world to talk about an issue, feel shame and sympathy…….and then we repeat the process as all we do is talk about the problem.



  • Registered Users Posts: 994 ✭✭✭rightmove


    Any man who says he is ashamed to be a man because of something done that he had no influence over is a D8ckhead and just looking for "likes" so to speak. These type of ppl and the women hamming it up over on twitter and in the media in general should be held to account since all they are doing is using a tragedy to virtue signal and that is appalling in my eyes.

    instead no one will call them out incase of the brainless backlash

    really well said, so glad someone is saying this......................................and I'm a woman! I have had numerous uncomfortable encounters with strange men over the years, as recently as 2 years ago. The first was when I was flashed at in France (in a woods) aged 16, numerous workplace incidents of being slapped on the arse and groped, then last 2 years ago on my local beach when I was chased by a naked man/streaker . Yes it was frightening and deeply uncomfortable.....but I still walk alone, swim alone and hike in the mountains alone . I also regularly go out with other people too, I'm not a recluse. I have 2 daughters who I never instilled that fear of rape and drink spiking into. You are doing your kids a huge disservice if you instill fear into them. There is risk in every part of life and certainly that needs to be taught at a young age! They need to be aware, not take chances, take precautions if they are going out alone but that's about all any of us can do...............unless we never go anywhere or being frightened of living.

    I lost a child years ago to cancer and believe me I have a pathological fear of losing a child again, but I still believe life is for living and not existing in fear.


    Sadly despite all the talking about "we need to change men" and "this needs to stop"...... the kind of men who murder and rape women are not listening to the radio, or the News, or their mothers and sisters. They are not going to vigils. Most men are decent citizens, fathers, brothers, sons............but there will always be the bad apples. And they are not going to be educated not to rape and kill .............and they are not going to listen.



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,798 ✭✭✭goose2005


    Yes, similarly Sarah Everard was an upper-middle-class white professional, the sort of person that the average Twitter user / journalist can identify with. "Skangers" don't get candlelit vigils around the country.



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,798 ✭✭✭goose2005


    telling women to be afraid of everything and everyone is no solution. The murder rate for women is 0.4 per 100,000, basically the lowest in the world (a few countries are 0.3, and some tiny countries get a zero), but from the media you would think women are dodging sniper's bullets on the way to tesco



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,504 ✭✭✭SpitfireIV


    D'Arcys back to himself anyway, last week's news was last week's news. But he likes to question things that come in as facts, good for him 👍



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,504 ✭✭✭SpitfireIV


    Couldn't even do that right D'Arcy...
