Has anyone else noticed that there hasn't been very much coverage of the two Irish people missing in the Nepal floods since we found out that their names weren't particular Irish-sounding?
Also have you noticed it changed from being "two Irish tourists" to "two Irish citizens"?
Contrast with the accidental death of a couple in Spain where we know their names, her maiden name, occupation, hometown, number of children, father's and uncle's names and occupations and their sporting achievements.
