Wexford tragedy

The tragedy that took place in the Wexford village of Clonroche at the weekend leaves us all without words.

It is the second terrible tragedy in the area within 12 months.

Both men are in the same age group and the tragedies have both happened in the diocese of Ferns.

Your conclusion being.....? What are you trying to say? Say it or not at all!!!!

Am I reading too much into this to think it is a tabloid innuendo to refer to Ferns?

What is the subtext here? Why refer to this at all?

But why the anonymity?

There are three short paragraphs and it is as clear as it appears.

This blog makes a point in being to the point and clear.

It never 'tries' to say something.

You could have fooled me Michael. Tragedy. Time. Diocese of Ferns. It is most certainly not clear what conclusion you wish to draw from the three paragraphs.

And I'll maintain my anonymity since you allow same. Thanks.

I don't understand the need to refer to the diocese of Ferns.

Please explain.

Surely a reference to Co Wexford would have been more appropriate?

When a piece on German rail or the current debate on the Lisbon Treaty appears on this blog no-one ever asks why!

The tragedy in Wexford is main news in Ireland.

Michael, you are being disingenuous. You don't refer to other diocese in this way. This is unworthy of you.

Slight difference Michael. Cannot understand why you referred to Ferns at all or what relevance it has to this awful tragedy. Perhaps you would tell us if you feel it is relevant. Obviously lots of other readers of your blog are wondering the same.

I respect the comments of readers on the blog re Wexford tragedy.

Hopefully today's blog has not been offensive or upsetting. It was not intended to be so.
