Yesterday the Joe Duffy show carried a segment on the aggravated burglary at the home of well-known solicitor Gerald Kean and his partner Lisa Murphy. Mr Kean gave a minute-by-minute graphic account of what happened.
It seems the rings that were stolen are worth a substantial sum of money.

It must strike people that the news we are told is the comings and goings of the rich and famous. It is only when the poor and marginalised commit crimes do we hear about them.
Nobody is interested in their pain and suffering.
There is something untoward, something not right about how both these stories have been played out in Ireland. Or is that simply what the media is about?
