As tragic as the circumstances were, I'm a bit shocked at the quite vitriolic response I've seen to several news shows over the last few days when all the presenter has done is asked some reasonable questions about the crash.
I understand people's personal grief, but I don't see anyone finger pointing, just asking some legitimate questions.
Like just how did it come that 8 people were travelling in a VW Passat? That's not blaming anyone for the accident, but is a question that came to me as soon as the details were annouced.
Second critical question is why is the road safety record of Donegal so bad? I love the county, but I really do dislike having to stay there with work. It's the only place where I never get a full night's sleep when in a hotel because of the boy racers up and down the streets and roads at night. Never have I heard or seen any Gardai response to these events.
People are genuinely stunned by the outcome and the circumstances (as we know it), I just resent being made to feel insensitive for having some concern about those circumstances.
Should we just keep our mouths shut and wait for the investigation? If so, why only in this case when every other suspected or demonstrated criminal activity is speculated over for months and years?
