I havent decided anything. Your description of the school seems to indicate that the area is the defining factor. you said that DEIS schools are a disaster. I was only asking why you thought that.
DEIS, from what I see elsewhere, seems to work very well and helps kids.
He did quite the opposite, Kev. He said your petty chip on your shoulder about the border is deflecting from any sane points you might be making on this topic. It doesnât serve you well.
I didnât say that but he has been on the receiving end of tragedy, he has a rounded experience, there has been no justice for his daughter. He has moved on with his life and is known for helping troubled people.
In this case he was asked to make a statement by family friends and he said the person in question came from a very good family.
You decided it by saying " but that seems to be not a DEIS thing but rather an area problem."
I only offered it as a possible influence and thought it fair to the debate. Does not get away from other factors.
Have you evidence to support all the good work DEIS is doing? Iâd like to see it. I actually want it to work. Just making the point not everyone thinks it is any real difference to before
It doesnât matter what kind of family he came from, he committed a horrible crime - By all means help him after whatever justice he receives, thatâs a very admirable thing to do, but to step in the lighten the sentence is a joke.
I think he wrote an article about accommodation at the Feile and how because of vetting visiting children couldnât stay with local families or something like that
However, I think St Vincentâs need to put their reputation to one side and explain what went on. Thereâs enough speculation and innuendo about what involvement or knowledge the club may or may not have had about the contact. The truth is more important in this instance than managing the message. Though, youâre correct - theyâll get grief no matter what the message they deliver is. But silence is not acceptable I donât think.
