You can hardly blame the Garda Press Office for a story you publish as ‘fresh’ more than 24 hours later. Every other media outlet in the country had it out yesterday. If you call yourselves ‘journalists’ then get the stories, that is what a journalist is. I’m pretty sure you will delete this comment also as the Journal does not like people who complain or have valid points about it.

Hi, I’m not blaming anyone for this – this is information that was sent to us in the last hour and so I am posting it as there is updated information, ie the man’s identity.
That is ‘fresh news’.

Ignore the begrudgers Aoife, The Journal is a site you should all be proud of

You tell em Aoife

Thanks for the positive comments!

Some people are never happy . .

I am certainly not getting into tit for tat comment and can see from your ‘thanks for the positive’ comment to the other posters, that you are putting me down and I can accept it. At no stage of the article you wrote does it say that it is an updated article. This brings me back to my original post about the Journal not liking criticism and this is reflected in your comment. Lastly, I would never accept any comment from Stephen, mostly because as a former FF advisor to Dick Roche and also at being a troll just to rise people and to ride them.

Hi BioHazard – nothing in my previous comments is ‘putting you down’ or intending to do that. I have no problem with criticism, but I felt I had to clarify this situation.

This was not an updated article, it was a new article with new information (the details of the deceased man), and that’s why it doesn’t say it is.
When an article is updated, we include the word ‘updated’ and the time at the beginning of the updated piece, or if it is a separate piece, link back to the original piece.
Hope that clarifies it for you.

Yes Aoife it does, thank you for clarify. Part of our work includes the aftermath of people who have passed on due to certain actions. I would also pass on my condolences to this mans family and friends.

Bla bla bla

bio hazard thanks for the heads up on the FF crims

His name was published in today’s star newspaper.

Biohazard, you have a lot of red thumbs to clean up now. :)

Ten out of ten for observation there. If you read the article it clearly states the man was from laois but he died in a hotel in carlow.

Good one trigger
