The vicious murder of the innocent Roy Collins in a gang related death brought the country to its knees once more. Shane Geoghean(mistaken identity) was callously murdered also by the notorious Limerick gang last year. It is fantastic to see how strongly a line the Irish papers have taken these brutal murders. Front page stories, continued coverage of Stephen Collins' (Roy's father) revolt against the gangs and sharp tongued editorials have created a whirlwind of popular support against the murderers.
It is fantastic to see that the paper industry itself is trying to quell the violence in Limerick. They could have reported on the story and that could have been that, but no. Continuous denunciation of these terror mongers have brought to the fore the brutality of Limerick's worsening gang problem.
The coverage of Mr. Collins' rally the other day was also well covered and it seems that the paper industry needs to increasingly show events like these if public opinion is to develop and therefore hopefully rid Limerick of its chequered past.
