Go read Bock's report on Tony Geraghty's slime-fest in the Mayo Echo printed with the scaremongering title "Castlebar Lake Attracts Hundreds of Perverts." The editor of the free weekly speciously claims that hundreds of gay men are converging on the district to prey on young boys. Even worse, the yellow journalist printed license tags of vehicles he purports to be owned by men with the intent of molesting children.

Tony Geraghty has no evidence or basis to his shockingly reckless and inflammatory charges.

Moreover, he was not content in raising fear and animosity against the gay community, he went even further by threatening legal action to shut down a community based website castlebar.ie which had operated for ten years because of comments questioning the veracity of Geraghty's accusations.

In essence, Tony Geraghty used the "Mayo Echo" to defame a community and then acted to silence any discussion or objection to his story with the threat of a law suit.
His pretense of a commitment to an open discourse and free press is a flat-out lie.
Tony Geraghty wishes to exert singular control over the wantonly fabricated hatchet piece that stems from his own conflicted, misguided and twisted understanding of human sexuality and indentity.

It is an outrage that he can continue to print such hateful mistruths unfettered while having a community posting board shut down.

Don't read his rag and send Tony Geraghty an email telling him to account for his muckfest at editor@mayoecho.com

Thanks to Bock for investigating this story.

Update: Twenty has the text from the "Mayo Echo" story.
Go read his brilliant satire putting this manufactured hysteria in perspective.
