Taoiseach Micheál Martin lays a wreath to mark the 50th anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Derry on Saturday
Isn’t it incredible that our national broadcaster @rtenews carried no coverage of the commemorative events from Derry to mark the 50th anniversary of one of the most important events in our recent history, while Sky News carried live coverage.
Shameful really. #BloodySunday50

Yesterday.
Meanwhile…
Completely shameful and grossly insulting to the families and people of Derry. The RTE news gave it 3 minutes. 3 minutes! 😔

Where was President Higgins? He who made such a fuss of being ‘President of all Ireland’ last year was nowhere to be seen at the event. Instead he sent a prerecorded message because he was too busy speaking at the Mansion House on Holocaust Memorial Day – clearly that’s an important event but I would have thought the 50th Anniversary of Bloody Sunday would be far more important to our President. Really odd choice.
Surprised he couldn’t attend both. Surely a 30 min chopper ride from Dublin to Derry and back could have been arranged.
Yes at the event that marked millions of deaths
This is the exact same as the protests against ‘the virus’, RTE didnt cover anything at all, even the day when theere were at least 100,0000 of us. RTE is the real virus. Fake news, Main stream Media is the real killer!

Too busy making some Crap first dates programs out of a transgender influencer and a wheel chair bound traveler away on an eco buzz weekend at a glamping farm. Dee Forbes. Your money is, well, spent !
Send in the two west cork lads
They turned back the Russian navy
Mind you maybe the Irish navy can now sigh a bit of relief as apparently they cannot even find a crew for one boat
More censorship, but we will never let them forget the murders committed against the Derry people who should never had to get out on the streets looking for decent houses and jobs
It’s hard to know what political motivation lies behind RTE’s news judgement these days.
18,000 NYPD turned out over the weekend to pay their condolences to a slain colleague, killed by an armed and violent thug.
Not a peep.
You can bet if there were 18,000 BLM protestors out on the streets complaining about police brutality towards the assailant there would be coverage.
Fortunately Lashawn McNeil died from his injuries as well.
I will vote Sinn Fein in the next election in the hope they will be true to their word, and put Ryan Tubridy and Co on €205 a week.
