It was just a filler piece. Like when the Daily Mail describea a person's outfit in great detail when there are already pictures attached.

Well I will, and always will, think of the survivor who has to read that announcement today.
It will not influence or be bias to put a full stop halfway down that statement without all his achievements.
It would absolutely stand out if they did that as it is completely different to the standard article when someone leaves. A 2-3 line article saying he has left would be jumped on by social media as evidence.
It's also unfair to use the "think of the victim" line. The reason I am arguing this is because if he is guilty of this, I want it to not get quashed in court because of media commentary.
What system?! Your post is incredibly narrow minded. We should encourage women to disclose however they feel comfortable to do so. It’s incredibly daunting. I went to the guards at 17 after being sexually assaulted and the local sergeant frightened my mum out of pressing charges saying that my name would be all over the papers and it would ruin my future.
Absolutely disgusting. I’m so sorry.
It back on No.20
Not to mention he was lying. As a victim of a sex crime your anonymity is protected unless you choose to waive the right to it
Hi,
I agree with this. I think the stmt has been picked up wrong. It's 7 sentences long and end with the line 'DG will remain on the show" so it is very abrupt. The rest of it was added by the publication to fill it out.
That might be your experience but I have worked with so many young women and men that have gone to the gaurds and were shown nothing but encouragement and support from their first statement through the whole process to court. Specialised investigators, meeting them in comfortable locations etc.
If you feel hard done by from your previous experience you can go back now and disclose your abuse, I’d be hopeful you’d have a different experience.
I can relate to this so much. Before I was taken into care at 6 I was subject to physical, sexual and emotional abuse. The physical and emotional continued when I was in care. The sexual abuse started again when I started being in relationships. I'm also medicated. I've never related to a comment so much. Especially 'I got life.'
It is my experience and that of others too. It happened nearly 20 years ago now.. this country has a murky history of corruption and cover ups. I did go back 10 years ago but the statue of limitations was up because I was 17 when it happened and not considered a minor. There is no statute for minors. This person had many family members in the gardai and a brother in law in a senior position...... I know there are good people in the job, doing a great job but “the system” has let people down. I’m not by any means suggesting that people should not go to the Gardai but my response to the original post was maybe she did go the guards and nothing was done about it and posting on Reddit was the only way she felt she could bring her story to light and either way we should support people to disclose however they are comfortable.
On the roz clip, watch it until the very end and you'll see that was clearly a sketch that had been planned with her in advance otherwise why did she start cheering after the dream music and him saying he had a dream of a bad interview with Roz?
I cant stand the guy, always despised him, but if you want genuine footage of him being a creep, then look at the montage of clips where he suddenly kisses katherine thomas and, in another clip, attempts to kiss Mairead Ronan. You can tell by their immediate reactions that they were completely taken aback and uncomfortable.

Just an aside - since a lot of people on this thread have taken issue with RTE’s handling of this, it’s worth noting that RTÉ is currently preparing a new public service statement (as legally obliged every 5 years) and for the next 2 weeks are looking for public feedback on how things are run. If you feel they, as our national broadcaster, are not meeting your expectations (ethical or otherwise) as an Irish citizen, you should say so. It may fall on deaf ears but it’s always good to vent.

I believe you & I stand tall with you
Without outing myself by disclosing any more info re my case. I came up against MANY roadblocks when reporting the CSA I was subjected to.
Don’t let anyone challenge your truth x
Amazing that not one woman on this thread has had that experience.
Thanks for sharing this link! Would encourage everyone to fill it out
Have you made a complaint to GSOC about the Local Sargeant who firstly lied and then dealt with yourself in a very unprofessional manner?
I don't think that is your business to be honest. Nobody here who is a victim needs to answer these types of questions.
Fair enough but more people need to kick up a fuss the way they've being dealt with by the Gardai.
