Their front page story today about the man who died in the (so far) mysterious accident in Lucan at the weekend contains the following line:
"It is understood the 24-year-old victim was known to gardai and had a number of previous convictions."
RTE reported this on their 7am radio news this mornng.
The Gardai have since confirmed that he was not known to them and had no previous convictions. His distraught mother has just been on the news talking about him. He survived two bouts of leukemia and was a volunteer/youth worker. He was, it seems, a good young fella, but he's been made out to be just another toerag by the Indo.
Where on earth did the Indo get its information? Was it the same source that gave them info on Liam Lawlor's crash?
I know you can't libel the dead, but I really wish his family could go after the Indo for this.
