Irish Air Hostess Allegedly Domestically Abused In Dubai

So, irrelevant then. AKA whataboutery.

Any link to the GoFundMe? ☠️

Being drunk? How did I miss that? Where exactly did you read or hear she was drunk???

I also think that some people are forgetting that they are supporting similar regimes across the Middle East who currently have similar approaches to the rights of women. That is more relevant than historical events in Ireland.

And others supporting the murder of children. Shame on them.

Well if you want to think so. My point still stands though that everyone can condemn a foreign country for its HR abuses, and rightly so, while our own country was pretty bad a few decades ago with children being abused in orphanages, priest's houses and churches and those responsible moved around the country to avoid arrest etc, We had babies bodies put in underground tanks and hidden for years without a proper burial. And only a few weeks ago we had a serving soldier given an exemplary reference for knocking a girl unconscious in the street and then let off by the judge. Yeah but look over there, whataboutery.

she said she woke up and found herself in a cell being accused of these things. That's not to say she did any of them, but that she had been beaten and abused by her partner, who tore up her passport and prevented her from trying to escape. It's possible he dumped her wherever after the fact and told them that's what she was guilty of. Sounds like an absolute gent.

edit: apparently she did try to take her own life but instead of assisting her they took her to the police station.

You repeatedly ignored what led to the suicidality and tried to sidestep the actual domestic abuse. Instead you fell back on "shouldn't have broken the law"....

I know all that, and agree. But the thing is, I can't see any logical link between your post and this particular incident other than to conclude "So what's she complaining about, it was just as bad here 50 years ago".

If that is not your conclusion, then what is the relevance of our history to this event?

It seems to me to be downplaying its importance because Ah sure we were no better ourselves half a century ago. But so what?

I've no regard for SF and I've no intention making this thread about SF policies. ML raised thie issue in the Dail having communicated with the woman and her family and effectively helped this woman get back home, very very quickly. However you feel about that is your own business.

I never mentioned the poor victim. I was more against the posts directed at another country, even with bad HR laws/rules, while our own was no better only a few years ago and in some cases still is. Nothing about the victim at all.

Hopefully that country will sort out their laws in a short time but I found it hypocritical that some posters were forgetful.
