Ireland's state broadcaster finally noticed Kirk Loco.
He was charged in November 2025. The Irish Times, the Independent and TheJournal covered it. I can't find a single RTÉ story on his charge or his trial.
Then he won. Now it's news.

BREAKING: Kirk Loco is ACQUITTED.
The Irish citizen journalist whose home was raided by police for defending teenaged girls on a bus is a free man.
He testified for 40 minutes. The migrant man who accused him changed his story under oath so many times nobody could believe him.
Aquitting Loco, Judge John Cheatle said the State's witness, the migrant, "appeared to be pretending to be asleep" as he "knew he had crossed the line and feared that he’d be in trouble" after making what the court held to have been an "unwelcome" and "likely sexual" approach to a female on the bus.

Before we 'punish' you, we are going to reward you, so that your punishment is less severe than what it might otherwise have been. What an absolute load of judicial and procedural bollocks this really is. Victims first? Pull the other one.

Scenes in Spain where the far left insists mayhem and torching buildings is how you protest.
According to the EU for years, the far right,the far right ,the far right were the problem. They got that incredibly wrong from what we are seeing across Europe.
In 1980s 'fascist' Ireland, a man in his 20s with a decent job could buy a nice house and have 4or5 children while the wife stayed at home.
Thankfully, we've 'progressed' since, and now with both parents working, they'll be mortgaged until they're 70 and lucky to have 1 child.
Major difference between a loving grandparent hugging their grandchild and some strange woman coming up to you on the street.
I would most certainly recoil in this instance.
IPAS was always a property scam. State money used, initially, to rescue those friends of the government still struggling with debts from the Crash, then everyone wanted a go, and it became a free for all.
If you thought IPAS was genuinely doing good in the world, you were had.
For all the hand wringing about the ‘far right’, it turns out the far left is a real danger to society. This week’s @Independent_ie column

I think this was the beginning of the end of public respect for RTE when it agreed to "no debate" on trans. Joe Duffy on the fallout from 2022’s programmes on the transgender issue, accusations from TDs, and the reaction from his RTÉ bosses https://t.co/PTj9XrFkL6
