    This is Joe's logic that gurriers become a good citizen once they reach 30.

    When is the money (including lost growth) Michael Noonan took in the Pension Levy going to be paid back?

    Another day of this sh1t. RTE need to be held accountable for its content. As tragic as this topic was 3 weeks ago and as stated before it has dropped down the news feeds and more pressing issues need to be discussed.

    Joe loves all this misery and listening to people relive their trauma is downright wrong.

    Maybe he's saving his story to use when publicising his new book?

    Then again, that would make him a crass and cynical c.nt.

    I'm ten years younger than Joe and everyone knew what teachers to avoid for the worst beatings,

    Joe acting like he never knew anything like this went on in his school,

    I'd love one of his class mates to ring in

    Remember Mr pervy Joe, used to always keep you behind, you'd have a big smile on your face when he'd finished with you, do you remember that Joe, you'd love sitting on his lap, think you were 14 or 15, you never wanted to go home you loved it Joe

    Yes. Joe's 3 weeks of misery is bringing out PTDS symptoms. It is not been hit with the leather once or twice, which I was. It was not used sadistically at that stage in the school. But I was once thrown across the room into the wall for leaving work in another classroom. I did not know I left it until I opened up my book to hand it to him. Whack, with the teacher in a fit of rage. I was only 12/13 at the time. That teacher left the following year and went to England. Last week I discovered a YouTube video interview with him. His life story after he left Ireland, seemed to have done well for himself! The school had an another infamous teacher, who I just missed being taught by. Plenty about him on the Internet....

    I was in primary and secondary in the 50s and up to the late 60s. Maybe I was lucky but I saw very little corporal punishment. That was with 3 different orders of nuns. Actually I have very good memories of my schooldays.

    Boys’ schools certainly had more of a reputation for being rough, but there again I never heard horror stories from my brothers or their mates. Again maybe they were lucky.

    Country schools with the old ‘master’ system were hit and miss. Some of them were bullies who had way too much power in the parish, but there were other country schools with fantastic teachers.

    someone was asking yesterday about Joe's contract - hes said he isn't having it renewed he's leaving when its gone, so he will grind his axe away till then. Not that this isnt an important topic and that it shouldn't be heard, but Joe should be attacking the system that not only caused and allowed this but is actively working against the survivors at least as much as giving a voice to the victims.

    After weeks of this it is counter productive now, there is so much of it that it is becoming "just another story" and people will get fed up and tune out (mentally and actually) - maybe Joe is enduing in some grand plan to demonstrate the blandness of mass evil, but i doubt it.

    I was, and like almost everyone I was in there with i got the occasional wallop from a teacher known for it, and suffered the cane for spelling mistakes and talking during class. However, i was at the very end of it, it was all banned when i was in secondary and it seemed like it was fading out anyway when i compared what we went through with what my uncles would recall from their times - but I was always in lay schools they were in the brothers.

    It wasn't long after the ban that the teacher i mentioned above started on a lad in 3rd year but with a new twist of "I'll take you on after school" and when he did the lad absolutely smashed him. Removed form the fearful environment of the classroom and without the backing of the state it was a different story.

    TBF i think the people who come across as light hearted here are mostly reacting to Joe and not to their stories.

    Man who allegedly left building with child refused bail

    https://www.rte.ie/news/courts/2024/0918/1470731-man-refused-bail-court/

    The court heard Visak Rajesh Leela, who is a student from India, is in Ireland on a student visa and has an address in south Dublin.

    A district court imposed reporting restrictions on his name earlier this week.

    But those restrictions were lifted by Judge Alan Mitchell this afternoon, following an application by lawyers representing RTÉ and other media organisations.

    I grew up with this and if you told adults about what happened you weren't believed and slapped for telling lies or you did something to deserve it so you might get more slaps.

    People saying why not tell adult or parents see above and but I'm sick of hearing this cr@p for weeks having lived through it. It just brings up bad memories for me and not helping anyone including the callers.
