What happened in Jobstown was bullying... like what happens online

THIS day last week just after hearing the verdict in the Jobstown trial I took out my phone and fired off a tweet.

The subject was something I felt strongly about — ever since the protest in 2014 actually — but unlike others, I held off on social media until the court case was concluded.

So off I went. “Feel huge sympathy for Joan Burton and Karen O’Connell. Would have felt terrified in their place”, I boldly stated.
