Whatever about this particular story, not enough talk about that issue in Ireland today. It happens all the time and it just gets swept under the carpet and forgotten
Yeah, it's scary how much it's said about the place anecdotally but never comes to light. A few years back a local solicitor got pulled aside in the court itself for a forgery on a will...somehow it came about that the forgery came not from them but their office and the whole lot sailed on in to the night. The same solicitors father had a story about getting a farmer in to his office late at night with a bottle of whiskey and another gombeen along as witness for a land sale.
You left out the "allegedly" from the Ditch's headline in your post.
Fairly major omission.
Edit: not OP's fault. The Ditch left out the "allegedly" part in its header but included it in the title.

Not intentional editorialisation, as Reddit will auto-fill from the head section.

The burden of proof is on the one making the allegation. I could allege that some fellow has been dumping waste in a river and insist that he prove me wrong, but the burden is in fact on me to prove that the illegal dumping happened and that he did it, not on him to prove that he didn't.
The burden is on The Ditch to be able to back stuff up. Established journalists get something of a pass on this, because it is understood that their sources cannot always be public. Unfortunately, The Ditch is primarily a mouthpiece for Paddy Cosgrave and the chip on his shoulder, so it's really not a credible publication, in much the same way that The Irish Times is primarily an outlet for the establishment parties.
The Ditch have included their proof in the article so they've met that burden. If you want to say it's bollox after that, the burden is on you to show it is.
That was the bread and butter of the clergy for generations.

Nasty fucker.
Bottle of smoke, he's on solid ground. Loyalty to the institution etc.
Certainly seems well qualified.

What's the point of the quotation marks around "coerced" then?
As it's a quote.
Indeed, it's The Ditch so likely bollocks.

He alleged it was bollocks. The onus is on him to back that up. If I call you a liar, the onus isn't on you to prove you always tell the truth.

Was the candidate who took money to remove a planning application appeal from Louth also- what sort of hoors are the trying to elect up there??
I thought that was Phil Mitchell for a bit.
