I think the podcast was a total flop. It actually had great potential because without a doubt there are trolls/online stalkers of high profile people. In my view she didn’t have the ability to pull it off and put the desire for people to pay to listen to her ahead of anything else. She was very foolish, it was a missed opportunity.

Agreed. It seems, from the small bit I've seen shared online and here, that it was more "poor Irish influencers the trolls are saying mean things" when really there's a wider discussion out there of online bullying, stalking, harassment, behaviours, privacy etc. And it would have been quite timely with the discussion in recent days about social media bullying amongst schoolchildren.

It sounds like a very self indulgent exercise wrapped up in faux regard for others. When really she’s just whinging that people online slag her off and she wants to find out who they are. She makes a living writing about and discussing other people, but woe betide anyone who has anything critical to say about her.

For a journalist her spelling is awful.

I’ve heard nothing about the podcast outside of tattle and her own promoting of it, I’m presuming it wasn’t very popular. When you think of all the incredible podcasts available for free and this one really thought she was in a different league..

The podcast could have and should have been something that hadn’t really been done where both the trolls and the influencers were both put under the spotlight. She could have looked into gossip and it’s place in society, especially Irish society where it’s incredibly ingrained and into forums such as this where gossip, genuine concerns/observations and yes, trolling, can take place but instead it appears to be an agenda driven self indulgence. It was never about anyone else

Eilis O’Hanlon bringing the HEAT. What an epic burn of a first sentence.

The journalist may have put in the legwork but she has nothing insightful to say about how the party went from being the mouthpiece of terrorists to the threshold of power

Review: Aoife Moore’s ‘inside look’ at the rise of Sinn Féin falls bizarrely flat

?Newspapers wishing to receive advance copies of Aoife Moore’s new book on the rise of Sinn Féin were asked first to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) promising not to reveal its contents ahead of publication. It may well turn out to be the most superfluous NDA ever.

Can someone review her podcast on trying to hunt down the person who revealed she had an affair?

 

[Nosycrow]

Wow, that’s a pasting and a half. No surprise that as we all expected, Moore is not even a journo, more a copy-paste merchant.

‘A passage giving some of the details of Michelle O’Neill’s family history is almost identical to sentences on the Sinn Féin deputy leader’s Wikipedia page.
Her description of how the IRA’s announcement that it had finally decommissioned its weapons was released accidentally, forcing the interruption of The John Creedon Show on RTÉ radio with a newsflash, is, practically word for word, the same as the one written by author and journalist Senan Molony in the Belfast Telegraph on Friday, July, 29 2005. (The original article can be readily checked online.)
Moore does acknowledge in her “source notes” that she “drew upon” various newspaper archives; but there is a huge difference between drawing upon publicly available records, and simply appearing to copy and reword them.
It means that there’s precious little here that the reader couldn’t find elsewhere, either between the covers of other people’s books, or else online. If, like Aoife Moore, you have access to Google, there’s simply no good reason to waste €25.20 on The Long Game.‘

I'm from Derry, my husband works in Public Relations and has done some spin for political parties before so we were curious to read the book..don't waste your money if you are looking for a big revelation

 

[roo689]

That is a scathing review. Does aoife have prior beef with the reviewer? Just wondering cause she’s sniping on her stories

O’Hanlons a straight-shooter and an actual journo. She obviously knows a fraud when she sees one.

How dare someone have an opinion! Troll!!!!

 

[Onlyhereforthegoss]

and yet all her hun friends are hailing her as the future of Irish journalism and political reporting.
what is the book even about? Is it a history of or some sort of expose?

 

[FishnChips]

“You know whats not bizarrely flat? Guinness and trans rights”
Eye roll

 

[ZeroCraic]

oh dear...

'...the story of how republicanism was compromised must wait for a better writer. The sense that this book has been carelessly assembled from bits and pieces that the author has gathered together, like an enthusiastic amateur who doesn’t always understand how the items in their collection relate to one another, is echoed in the writing itself.'

she's shook

 

[nasa5]

Lord above. That was some review.. fair play, actually nice to see some real journalism. When Aoife sees the book go down the podcast route perhaps she could learn a lesson or two from Eilish, could be a great learning curve for her

I’m forever stunned by the likes of Aoife who are pure shocked that people other than themselves can have an opinion. Must be a confusing world

 

[Thump]

OMG it’s scathing

My favourite line of the review is
