He joined Ireland’s Consul General to the Western US at the site of a “balcony collapse”:http://www.euronews.com/2015/06/16/irish-nationals-killed-in-california-balcony-collapse/, which killed five Irish nationals and a Berkeley local.

This is a tragedy for the families %100… But the reaction by the Irish media and politicians was ridiculous and way over the top… If these where four lads from the inner city who died in a car crash while abroad they would have been swept away by lunchtime… As i said its a tragedy for the family and friends… Not the media or politicians or the grief sheep who are apparently devastated for people they never knew existed… Well time now for the grief sheep and co to be devastated by something else this week… Pathetic

sounds more like those 6 were crushed by the other 8, it's only 12 meters. only if you land on your head a 12 meters fall could be lethal.

Shoddy workmanshp, shoddy materials, shoddy safety inspections – The cause of this sort of thing is always the same – some sob making money by cutting corners.
