@Lordmuca My son not invited to s boy's party. Met the mother in town. She said it's a shame Conor has a match on Saturday and can't come to the party. I said he hasn't got a match. He still wasn't invited. Maybe that girl told her parents something similar.

@DakotaLula @amomcnally Exactly. If shows that every death is not equal. The family should not have been approached by RTE or by the gvt. Why did they not ask to attend other funerals of females who died under other tragic circumstances?

@philipnolan1 I also lived in a council house in England and it gave my parents the opportunity to purchase their own home. They paid rent and then a mortgage. Nothing free. A large segment of Irish people seem to have a problem giving everyone the same opportunity as themselves.
