Cyprus Holiday "Scandal"?
Granted I'm English and so only know about this at all because I happened to click on a news story, but does this row really justify the word "scandal"? To me it looks more like an everyday political storm-in-a-teacup affair. Loganberry (Talk) 14:43, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * It is not a scandal, it is not a controversy, it is a meaningless gutter press piece of journalism and really does not belong in the article. I have removed it. O Fenian (talk) 15:27, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Perhaps so, but it did make the BBC website. I don't have any intention to restore it, though. Loganberry (Talk) 00:23, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Cached version (subscriber only otherwise) of the original story. The Irish News must really have been scraping the bottom of the barrel for news that day, if that's news. There was no scandal, no controversy, just criticism from one unnamed (prior to the BBC article) opponent. It is the nature of Northern Ireland politics that both sides take pot shots (not literal ones any more!) at each other, "controversies" of that nature really do not belong otherwise all articles will be just full of as many minor event negative stories as possible. Events that do attract a wider controversy may merit inclusion, but I really do not see how this story belongs. O Fenian (talk) 00:31, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Bobby Sands complaint
Is there any need for this? It was a long time ago, it was one axe grinder complaining, nothing seems to have been done about their complaint, it seems to be a pointless news story of no significance to me. O Fenian (talk) 22:18, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
