Ciaran Lynch of all people, hits the nail on the head on the level of the Irish media.
"Labour TD Ciarán Lynch musing on media standards: “If a politician was found in a hotel bed with a sheep these days, the first questions the press would ask wouldn’t be about the sheep, they’d be: ‘Did he use the mini-bar — and was it on expenses?’” "

Atheist Ireland has made a very foolish request that Michael D refer the Civil Registration Amendment Bill under Art. 26.

During the presidential election Higgins spoke of the great dangers of such referrals so hopefully he will decline the ill-considered call from AI.

Why did Taylor win "Sportswoman of the Year" ?
Not good enough to win "Person" ?

The Sindo is found to have invaded a woman's privacy and disregarded the feelings of a grieving family but their coverage of the finding is mostly taken up with a justification of their position.

No mention of the salary and expenses of any of the hacks involved and no demands for anyone to consider their position. Would that be the case if a politician or a public servant had been found guilty of professional wrongdoing?
That's pretty damming:
However, the rights of the newspaper in this case are insufficient to justify taking statements about the deceased from a eulogy by Ms Ni Fhloinn, failing to attribute them to her, modifying them in a way that altered their meaning, and presenting them as if they were the outcome of the newspaper's own investigations. This breach of Principle 1 also amounted to a failure to take the feelings of the grieving family sufficiently into account under Principle 5.3. The complaints under these Principles are therefore upheld.
