Grand canal deaths

Yes basically they're homeless men, not celebrities or anything. Pretty much disposable.

How do you know they were white?

What's there to talk about? There isn't much of an angle for the media to get their teeth into until and unless more information comes out.

Its in every media outlet I've seen. Its no longer top item and more things have come in. The latest is there were no obvious marks suggesting foul play and it is most likely going to end up as one fell in and the other went and tried to assist.

Plenty of cctv, so it will be an easy case to work out.

A lot of far right scum are really hoping against hope that it has to do with undocumented immigrants and they are going to be very disappointed - but don't worry they will start claiming that its a cover up and all that sort of crap - its what these hate spewing violent scum do

Unless there is an angle the media are not bothered. It is part of the reason I immediately thought of the "Scissor Sisters" case nearly 20 years ago. Where they chopped their alleged abuser up, and fired him into the Royal Canal.

That is the type of unusual nature a murder committed on a male has to have, to get noticed. That is just the way society is now. It is even worse now when social media is dependant on views and clicks, with short attention spans.

Two non-descript fellas murdered, is just a shrug of the shoulders now. It does not tug at the heart strings and cause an outpouring of shock/emotion.

Every time I’ve heard the news this weekend it’s been mentioned. Clear agendas trying to be shoehorned in here from some.

RIP

The Taoiseach is well able to talk about the UK election results and their new PM plus go get a picture with Tim Burton on the Wednesday set

How many homeless died near The Dail also in the past

I still think if non Irish more exposure from all would be given and expressed

The two men who died in the Grand Canal at the weekend were known to homeless services in Dublin.

Garda investigations into the deaths of men, aged in their 40s, were continuing on Sunday following the discovery of their bodies at Grand Parade near Charlemont bridge and Luas stop on Saturday morning.

..

A senior civil servant, (who has been involved in Dublin City Council in his past roles) while at a meeting regarding an ipas centre, was asked why all this work for asylum seekers and not Irish homeless, "Irish are homeless by choice" was his answer. Says its all really.

I'd be interested in a source for that.

Two non-descript fellas murdered

Who said they were murdered?

If you have information nobody else seems to have please do share with the class.

"The Dublin Region Homeless Executive (DRHE) offered its sympathies to the families and friends of the two men.

The DHRE said it was in contact with gardaí and is awaiting confirmation of the men's identities to establish if they were known to homeless services."

Just have to wait, what else does the op expect?

If they were refugees, there'd be helicopters n'all

Ah, so no source then.

Thanks.

Not one that can be verified. So basically worthless, and nothing more than an anecdote.

Thanks again.

Not sure why kyote000 can't find it on the player when it was on last night news ?

Radio only today, I said .

Your op "stands"....stands as what ?

Meaningless waffle .

You said there was no coverage ...there was .

because our tri coloured friends who are camped out 24/7 waiting to blame foreigners for everything are reporting from the scene

given how fast they were to confirm some information, do you genuinely feel there is a possibility they are not white?

I am aware of that

You've missed the point

Maybe I'm too familiar with Mrs O and her postings

@kyote00

From 01.16 to 3.16 , first story , top of Nine O'Clock news on RTE last night Sat 6th July . On Replay and RTE Player . Interviewed were Jim O' Callaghan, TD , and Aubrey... of Tiglin . ( yes NGO that gives out tents ) . Found this in 3 mins .

For kyote00 , the OP of this thread , that made the comment that I was talking bullsxxt when I said this did in fact go out on tye news last night .

I note kyote00 you now are concentrating on proof of the radio clip having been found to be untruthful and insulting a poster who is posting facts about news and radio coverage .

As to the radio clip we were on our way home and it was on 5 o 'clock news either Newstalk or Today FM or RTE radio .

You can look that up for yourself .

Done with this hysteria . Thats all this thread is, and no, kyote00 , your OP has fallen flat on its face .

Maybe before you make claims , it would be useful to do a quick search of the news media you are criticising .

Also a report on BBC earlier today.

Did you actually listen/read to any "media" today. it was mention on radio news hourly for most of the day and it's on the RTÉ news site, also the Irish Independent site too.
