I have not branded suicide victims as “snowflakes”, you have deliberately misinterpreted what I said. As anyone with half a brain would clearly recognise it was referring to the look-at-brigade on Facebook who are eulogising someone they have never met.
Stick to speaking to yourself on the Trump thread. We’ve only heard everything you’ve said on that topic a thousand times already.
Ooooft!
Anybody with half a brain can draw their own conclusions from your post.
It’s pretty clear from what you write that you get far more annoyed about trivial matters such as people voicing opinions or complaining about things that are clearly bad, rather than the actual bad things themselves.
So, here for example, you’re far more exercised about people sharing a post on Facebook than the sort of real, bigoted views about homosexuality that can actually cause somebody to take their own life.
If this was the 1980s you’d no doubt be complaining about Apartheid protestors, rather than Apartheid itself.
Real perspective there, eh.
The logic of your post most certainly implies that suicide victims are snowflakes, by the way.
Exactly what you did to me on the Halvey issue you one armed waiter fucking imbecile
What are your views on Conor Cusacks outburst, mate?
Whatever about people talking about these things on social media, it’s very unfair for Conor Cusack to paint this GGA club and his family as unaccepting. Where is his proof? This poor chap killed himself but we don’t know actually how this large grouping of people acted.
Cusack is being very simplistic here in relation to a matter which is not simple. Nobody knows why a man kills himself. Berating a GAA club and presumably individuals within it and an individual family is reckless at best. Same lad will post about bullying on social media.
His intentions are most likely good, but it smacks of attention seeking.
Was it an “outburst”?
“Outburst” implies a frivolous nature to an expression of views.
@dodgy_keeper’s reply was far more worthy of the term “outburst”, in my view.
But to follow that logic, and especially given that you state “his intentions are most likely good”, how can you be an advocate for anything and not “attention seek”?
It seems that to a certain type of person, “attention seeking” is the ultimate sin.
To advocate for something by definition means you’re looking for people to pay attention to you and whatever it is you’re advocating for. Otherwise there would be no point in advocating.
It’s a bizarre way of looking at things to say that somebody with good intentions advocating for a cause that it worthwhile is “attention seeking”.
I would think the likeliest thing is that the suicide victim in question had been in contact with him and he knew his back story.
Now if it turns out that he’s made the whole thing up, or jumped to conclusions without knowing the full story, he should rightly be challenged over it, however he hasn’t made the identity of the victim public and I doubt he will.
But I would suspect the victim had previously been in contact with him.
You’re a bizarre cunt Sidney.
You take exception with everything and digest nothing unless its leftist liberal scutter.
The likes of Cusack would have you believe homosexuality was still a criminal offence in this country.
IMO the cunt is using this poor misfortunes tragic death for his own agenda which is disgraceful for the lads family and friends.
Publicly blaming the family of a suicide victim the day after the event feels a bit off though. Time and a place and all that.
What is his agenda though? Apart from raising awareness of mental health issues?
Is he coining it in from this somehow?
As I said earlier I think he is a troubled individual who thinks he is doing the right thing. Whether he is or not I don’t know.
That’s fair comment
Going after the lads family and GAA club is a complete disgrace, and is without doubt making things worse for the family.
How does Cusack even know that it was the guys sexuality that was the trigger?
That’s not what I asked you at all. I don’t agree with what he’s done at all. Don’t know where you got that from. Just think he’s seriously misguided rather than malicious.
Now…what is cusacks agenda that you mentioned earlier that he is doing this to benefit. I’m genuinely curious
Homosexuality was decriminalised in 1993, mate. Only people like Donald Trump, who I believe you’re a supporter of, dispute objective facts.
What “agenda” are you suggesting Cusack has?
Despite the very welcome advances in terms of gay rights in this country since 1993, anti-gay bias and bigotry is still alive and well, and homosexuality is still not fully accepted amongst a large section of society. Are you disputing that?
Cusack’s “agenda” (a very pejorative term, that, which I would imagine gives a clue to your own views) is to advocate for full acceptance of young gay people in the community, with a particular focus on GAA, and to promote the message that intolerance shouldn’t be tolerated.
Have you a problem with that message?
Hia agenda is to keep pushing the narrative that gay people are driven to mental health issues and in this case suicide, and that it is a regular occurance in this country which is a load of shite imo.
He is obviously a fella that needs help himself… rather then going online, lashing out and upsetting a grieving family and community even further.

We are led to believe a young person has just died. My “problem” is the very crass decision of a person with a national profile like Cusack to publicly berate the family of the deceased for basically causing his death. Within 24 hours of the passing with the body barely cold.
If you can’t see how callous or insensitive that could appear well there is no point in engaging in further debate.
None of us on here know the full story but lobbing blame on the family - if it’s unwarranted - is just downright despicable.
