Mr. John Irwin:

It is very difficult but good news does not sell that well while the sensational story will. This was a sensational story. In most of these cases if we were a management body advising the school, we would tell it to batten down the hatches and weather the storm. One is powerless and if one gets involved in the argument one is only fuelling the flames. It is challenging and if something gets misconstrued one finds it very hard to defend oneself but, unfortunately, I would say to schools that, on occasion, they just have to batten down the hatches and weather the storm. It is not right but that is what happens.
