I really don't think either of these reflect the general mood (and perhaps that has something to do with feelings towards the Roma more than the circumstances of this case). Have to say I'm just vexed knowing that there will undoubtedly be a large compensation case following on from this.We are going to see huge national outrage on this topic now ...
I see some national papers are now acting like champions of the Roma people.

I wonder why?It's not that long ago that the HSE and Gardai were being lambasted for not acting when there were allegations of children being at risk.
So in these sort of circumstances, there will always be a risk that whether they act or don't act that they get it wrong. Hindsight is always correct.
So do we now run the risk that the authorities will be less likely to act in future cases, particularly in cases involving Roma, because of the hysterical reaction following these two cases?
As usual now we see Claire Daly wading in. She just cannot pass up any opportunity to have a go at the Gardai.

we either support child safety or we dont bother , there was a doubt and the childs interests were prioritised , unfortunate that it was racially motivated but theres far too many dead and missing kids for anyone to be complacent, yes it turned out ok in the end , guards had to mske a call didn't do it for a laugh im sure
