Print media mongrel foxes hound an honest man

THE continuing saga of Ceann Comhairle John O’Donoghue’s expenses reached a new low in journalism in the Sunday Tribune (September 13).

His attendance at the memorial services for Margaret Hassan and Ken Bigley was portrayed as just another series of junkets. Hassan and Bigley, one an Irish citizen and the other of Irish extraction, were brutally murdered in Iraq by terrorists. The Irish nation was properly and respectfully represented by O’Donoghue at their services.

Yet the Sunday Tribune would have us believe attendance at any event — be it secular or religious — is a junket.
