On last night’s Tonight with Alison O’Connor, Alison was joined by Colette Browne (Irish Independent) and Hugh O’Connell (TheJournal.ie).
On the subject of the suspected Ebola fatality in Donegal, Hugh said:
“Obviously with headlines like these, it does create a sense of like ‘Oh my God Ebola is in Ireland’ but you know it is important to say that it is only suspected at this point so you know we have to wait and see the outcome of these tests. So we should know tomorrow what we’re dealing with.”
From last Friday:

Ebola Day
You should have stayed at home yesterday
Ah-ha words can’t describe
The feeling and the way you lied
These games you play
They’re going to end in more than tears some day
Ah-ha Ebola Day
It shouldn’t ever have to end this way
It’s eight fifteen
And that’s the time that it’s always been
We got your message on the radio
Conditions normal and you’re coming home
Ebola Day
Is mother proud of little boy today
Ah-ha this kiss you give
It’s never ever going to fade away

It’s eight fifteen

That’s p*ss poor.
Kidney failure poor!
I’m all like O M D!
Little wet bottom Mani going around taking hits at easy targets.
And you, my love, the easiest target of all. Planet sized.
Oh he’s here again,
The Mani with the child in his eyes
He’s very understanding and he’s so,
Aware of all my situations,
When I stay up late,
He’s always with me,
What I feel when I hesitate,
Oh I’m so worried about my love,
They say “No, No it won’t last forever”,
And here I am again my girl,
Wondering what on earth I am doing here,
Maybe he doesn’t love me,
I just took a trip on my love for him.
Oh he’s here again,
The Mani with the child in his eyes,
i am disturbed by the notion that when you stay up late, mani is with you.
Disturbed or aroused?
Just wanted to discombobulate him.
do you really have ‘the child in your eyes’ mani? should i be ringing the social workers?
Nope, just the four in the attic.
Marge: Homer, that’s the same thing, only you replaced your dees with your doos.
Ah it’s Friday. I knew I’d get a little smile out you.
Thejournal.ie is almost as bad as politics.ie and boards.ie , the comments section is p*ss poor.
Seems everything is p*ss poor today. Peace out lads.
what’s wrong with writing p*ss?
Yellow doesnt look good on a white background, ask thejournal
Very good post BS. The Journal’s behaviour last week was abysmal, especially the way Susan “Ebola!” Daly just dismissed all criticism out of hand. Typical behaviour by that outlet, of course.
The Journal seems to think it’s a serious news outlet. It’s an online magazine of poor content and whimsical rubbish designed to entertain people with poor attention spans and mediocre intelligence.
And the people who work in it have a very false sense of their relevance in the world of media and news.

Every second article seems to be some sort of nostalgic bollix or ten reasons why men leave the toilet seat up sort of shite.
they are making a lot of ad money I hear
yeah, not like us. we make up puns while scobes nick our bikes..
The journal just looks for clicks. Anything to get people clicking will do.
Priceless.

TheJournal.ie is a waste of space, it’s home to some of the worst writers and thinkers in Ireland. An explainer and timeline is as good as it gets.
And they ‘curate’ copy. It’s called not having reporters on the ground. They have used a number of my stories this year. No cheque as of yet. Haroo Von Haroo. Long live Holy Germany.
