Stuart McAfee has been identified as the idiot who showed up at Fearon's place of work to have a nice wee cordial chat with our Tone. according to loyalist liars on here he 'just happened to be in the area'.

Is that for real Stew?

I asked Tony himself when I saw this and he said yes.

And what happened? and why was he targeted ?

Seriously, what is this about?

[Bingo]

I've had a drink with you but i would have had plenty more with you're brother S. It was actually him that told me who you were on here, thats going back near 10 years i think? The spinner was my weekend home for years. Bit far for a grattan to travel but i had plenty of connections in Blayney. there was a gang of us that hardly left the place or a while.

I was going to visit him the last time i was home but really did'nt want to. I've travelled the length of Ireland with him watching the county team and have had some great times with him so i wanted to remember him that day and not the state he is in now. Bit selfish maybe but its the choice i've made.

No idea whatsoever how i'd deal with his situation, it's impossible to even imagine. God bless him.

You've had a right drink with me, I'm S not his brother! You still got that massive tube of toothpaste you take on holidays  

True what you say, never hard to imagine how he is managing and harder to see him now from what he was.

Tony Fearon is and was a board legend, he was an awful man for getting a rise out of the OWC crowd and he had them absolutely scundered. Tony mounted a one man campaign to highlight the fact that OWC were a  bunch of twisted, bigotted bastards.

Needless to say that they fought him at every farts turn however the.y decided to amp things up, they went to his office and met with his secretary, they sent postcards to his place of work a few times to intimidate and finally, when they could take his shit no more they send McAfee around to his place of work to intimidate him, it did not work.

McAfee was an OWC lad who used to be on here all the time, if memory serves he was SBE Mac or South Belfast Emeralds Mac, he was one of the main men on owc.

That is what you have at the helm over there, eejits who just happen to drop by for a friendly chat to try and intimidate and get Tony to drop his campaign.

'National' broadcaster my arse. The settlement is rumoured to be circa €5,000,000, to the wholly innocent priest whose good reputation they so shamefully demolished:

RTÉ settles priest defamation case

Fr Kevin Reynolds, the parish priest of Ahascragh, Co Galway, was 'grossly defamed' by RTE in the 'Prime Time Investigates' broadcast on May 23rd, according to the terms of settlement which were read out in the High Court.

RONAN McGREEVY

The libel action involving a priest wrongly accused by RTÉ of having sex with a minor and fathering a child by her has been settled.

Fr Kevin Reynolds, the parish priest of Ahascragh, Co Galway, was "grossly defamed" by RTÉ in the Prime Time Investigates  broadcast on May 23rd, according to the terms of settlement which were read out in the High Court. The case had been due to go to a four-day trial.

The amount of damages was not disclosed but RTÉ has agreed to pay both compensatory damage and aggravated damage to the priest.

RTÉ has also agreed to publish the first correction order under Section 30 of the Defamation Act 2009 which will be broadcast on RTÉ's Prime Time  and Morning Ireland  programmes and published in the Connaught Tribune , The Irish Times , Irish Independent  and Irish Examiner .

The lengthy terms of settlement, which took 20 minutes to read and stretched to 35 paragraphs, was read out in front of the reporter Aoife Kavanagh, the executive producer Brian Páircéir and the Prime Time Investigates  editor Ken O'Shea. The producer/director of the programme Mark Lappin has since left RTÉ.

Reading out the terms of settlement, Jack Fitzgerald SC, counsel for Fr Reynolds, said reporter Aoife Kavanagh had confronted the priest after first communion mass and accused him of sexually abusing a teenage girl in Kenya in 1982, fathering a child by the woman and abandoning the child.

Despite the priest's repeated denials, an email from Fr Reynold's former bshop Philip Sulumeti in Kenya and his offer to take a paternity test, the programme was broadcast.

Mr Fitzgerald said RTÉ and Aoife Kavanagh had choices prior to the broadcast and the ones they made was "utterly misjudged and wrong" and had an "utterly devastating impact" on his life.

RTÉ was afforded every opportunity to review its position and remove any reference to Fr Reynolds from the programme.

Some 519,0000 viewers watched the Prime Time Investigates  programme which was heavily promoted in advance, and the allegation was treated as fact on the following morning's Morning Ireland  programme which had 338,000 viewers. It was also broadcast worldwide on the internet, he said.

Fr Reynolds had suffered "irreparable damage" to his reputation, his life was utterly altered, and he was removed from his home and his community, Mr Fitzgerald told the court.

Despite an apology, which was first broadcast after Fr Reynolds took a paternity test, the priest still feels "very upset by the damage to his good name, reputation and network of relationships both here and in Africa".

He felt personally damaged as a result of the defamation and the scar remains, Mr Fitzgerald said.

His 40th year as a priest has been marred by the enormity of the "abhorrent crime of which he was publicly and globally accused".

Fr Reynolds was hugged by members of his family as he left the court. He did not comment.

However, Fr Sean McDonagh, on behalf of the Association of Catholic Priests who backed Fr Reynolds in his action, said they were delighted that he had been "utterly vindicated".

"It's his day. I've accompanied him from the very beginning and the pain and trauma being forced out of his parish, forced to stand down as a Catholic priest. It was vile and it was appalling," he said.

Fr McDonagh said neither Fr Reynolds nor the association had the means to take a High Court libel action and could not have done so without the case being taken on a pro-bono basis by Robert Dore & Co solicitors.

Mr McDonagh stressed that it was a "good day for Catholic priests".

He cited the recent Amarach survey which suggested that 47 per cent of people thought 20 per cent of priests were paedophiles when the reality was the figure was closer to 2 per cent to 3 per cent.

"Catholic priests have got a very bad presentation, unbalanced to the extent that the public think one-in-five priests is a paedophile," he said.

"If it happened to journalists, you would all be up in arms. I hope this is a wake-up call. We're not asking for special treatment, we're just asking for truth, fairness and justice."

What would happen you if you cost your employer a "significant" amount of money I wonder?

Sackings 'not the way' to handle botched broadcast -- RTE

By Colm Kelpie and Aoife Finneran
Friday November 18 2011
RTE last night insisted that sacking those responsible for a botched broadcast that led to a massive libel settlement was "not necessarily" the best way.

The state broadcaster yesterday secured an undisclosed settlement with Galway priest Fr Kevin Reynolds after it wrongly alleged that he sexually abused a teenage girl and fathered a child with her while a missionary in Kenya.

Both sides refused to reveal how much money is involved, but it is understood to be significant.

RTE was last night coming under intense pressure to reveal how and why certain editorial decisions were taken on the 'Prime Time Investigates' story that aired on May 23 last, and to reveal what disciplinary action would be taken against those responsible.

But a spokesman claimed treating the issue as a "punitive exercise" was not necessarily the best route to learn lessons.

"Looking for heads is not necessarily the best way for an organisation to learn the lessons that arise from an issue like this," he said.

However, he said that no decisions had yet been made, and said the matter would continue to be taken seriously by RTE.

"Our current affairs team has a very strong journalistic record over many years," he said.

"What we wish to do is to understand how this mistake was made and to ensure that our processes are sound to protect against such exceptional cases."

It is understood four individuals may have been involved in the editorial process for the programme, 'Mission to Prey', outside of reporter Aoife Kavanagh -- producer Mark Lappin, who it is understood has since left RTE; executive producer Brian Pairceir; editor of current affairs in charge of 'Prime Time' Ken O'Shea; and managing director of news Ed Mulhall.

It is not known if any of the five raised concerns before the airing of the programme.

Fr Reynolds (65), parish priest of St Cuan's, Ahascragh, Co Galway, brought proceedings following the broadcast last May, which purported to deal with the alleged abuse of children and teenagers by Irish missionaries in Africa.

The allegations in the programme concerning Fr Reynolds were also discussed on 'Morning Ireland' the following morning.

It is understood that Fr Reynolds wrote to RTE offering to do a paternity test before the programme aired to prove his innocence.

He has since undertaken that test, which proved he was not the father of the child

in fairness to tony he was the ultimate wind up merchant. not only did he usually have the OWC crowd apoplectic with rage, most of the time 90% of the posters on here were also fit to strangle him.

at one stage here there was hardly a day would go by without feron starting some outrageous thread and then watching the mayhem ensue.
regarding the incident with yer man ''MAC'' as he was known, as far as i recall mac called into Tony's office one day on spec (tony feron was a publicity hound so everyone knew all about him including where he worked) to confront tony about his constant running down of all thing relating to the N. Ireland Football team. anyway after they had a chat and a cup of tea mac went back to report on the OWC website that in fact tony was not that bad of a lad and was basically a wind up merchant of the highest order.

the hardcore boys on OWC did not want to here this and in typical tradition immediately accused yer man mac of having no idea what he was talking about and that ferron was scum. this despite the fact they had never met him and there hero mac had actually spoken with him.
