    Prime Time investigates not showing due to "Legal Difficulties"

    Just announced on RTE that they could not, due to "Legal Difficulties" beyond their control, show tonight's prime time investigates. "Legal Difficulties" generally means they were injuncted or threatened with same. Any body know what was due to be shown?

    Prime Time Investigates Investigating the story of a doctor's 30-year reign of abuse involving young male patients at a hospital, and questioning why he still has access to vulnerable children.

    Are "legal reasons" the same thing as a phone call from the government?

    That would have been a heavy duty show for sure. Presumably yer man's legal team were on the blower with gusto

    No problem showing it if there was a priest involved I'm sure.

    Doctors have an unhealthy amount of money, power and influence in Irish society. They are the last of the old Sacred Pillars of old-style "50s Ireland" society - landowners, doctors, priests, politicians and bank managers - not to have been torn down a peg (the first and the last are getting their long-deserved kicking right now). I firmly believe most Irish doctors are one step up from witchdoctors. Overpaid quacks who see themselves as being inherently superior to the peasantry, I don't like or trust them in the slightest.
