Death of the past participle

Anne Marie Houriihane wrote in Monday's Irish Times,
‘He has showed us up – quivering, self-conscious girlies that we are. Casby got us all, with one satiric touch.’

Noel Whelan in Saturday's Irish Times wrote, ‘ … it should not have went out…..’

RTE’s Paul Reynolds is constantly using the wrong form of the past participle.

Is the past participle dying a death?
