"I wasn’t at the function but my thoughts are with you and your guests, who have done nothing wrong but are the subject of such a hoary old staple of cliched journalism. I don’t envy you the decisions you had to make when contacted by the press and I think you’ve handled yourselves with dignity and class. I hope it all blows over for you soon" | |||

"Sorry to hear this happened the rags have nothing better to be doing then trying to find some salacious story for click bait. This country is so fucking backwards when it comes to sex. " This country is backward with absolutely everything, not just sexuality. If our circumstances allowed, we'd be gone back to the country our kids were born. We are both Irish btw,but this country is fucked with red tape and Sinn Fèin | |||

"We are all taking about the paper who published this article. But what about the staff member who actually took the picture I hope she got fired for breaking guest confidentiality. " "She" ? How do you know it was a female? | |||

"(Wasn't there) I think you handled it well, and bravely too. Hopefully it'll blow over. Nobody below about sixty gives a toss any more anyway. Do they? I'm sure there are local journalists all over this site too. Sadly, some of them will think what they're doing is "right". Keep on trucking. " Wasn't there but a lot of folk about or over sixty don't give a toss either age hasn't got a thing to do with narrow minded Sunday paper editors In a world where things are mad .What harm were these people doing wrong ?? In my over sixty mind nothing at all Keep swinging everyone | |||

"As I was down in Dublin on Sunday, at the rejuvenated Marathon, observing and enjoying, not an entrant, I did not read Ciaran Barnes's Sunday Life item about the Malone House event. The principal Sunday rags in Ireland are Sunday Life and Sunday World, both very low quality papers that focus on hyperbolic and sensationalist stories For the future, it is well known that when these rags publish a story they tend to pursue it for several years, updating readers with new details whilst reprinting the original story. The organisers of future events will need to be extremely circumspect about the location of future events. Newspaper employees will also infiltrate the site in order to gather more information; this is their modi operandi. " A bunch of adults played hen party dare cards (you can pick up a pack in any pound shop for reference), were having a few drinks and danced together. There is no story. There is nothing to infiltrate or "expose", no gossip, no drama, nothing to scare anyone with. Nobody even read the thing online as it was hidden behind a pay wall. Just a scary headline which was mostly ridiculed by public for not having anything more important to post. Please stop. | |||
