Our vitriol in this crisis is seriously misplaced

Have you noticed the level of vitriol aimed at various Irish people who sit in the pigeon holes marked “property developers” and “bankers” recently?

A series of attacks comprised of violent spoken and written words has been under way now for some time, positioning their victims as pariahs in Irish society who deserve to be at least jailed if not worse.

This new apartheid is aimed at a group who have become utterly defenceless against a media gang who have shaped a narrative which goes something like this — Ireland has been destroyed by a small group of bankers and property developers who gorged themselves on the Celtic Tiger and bled the country dry by helping themselves to fortunes while screwing the entire population.
