    Some audience member just had a good go at Conor Kebab Lenihan on Frontline about the lack of support for small enterprise. It was a good strong rant.

    The government and Lenihan on it is getting decimated - and rightly so.

    Bit cringeworthy watching Lenihan there.

    "You're the biggest spoofer of the lot" :mad:

    I'm sure one of our fellow boardsies will kindly upload some footage abd can't watch domestically...?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    I wish I hadn't watched the programme. I was nice & relaxed before I did & now I'm fuming. Our politicians are so far divorced from reality, it's f*cking scarey.

    The frontline is one of the better programming efforts of RTE ever possibly.
    PK is well placed in the role there too.

    Well done RTE for once.

    I disagree. Some over paid fool doing a half decent job for once is hardly worth commending.

    Holy sh1t! I couldn't believe that comedy skit at the end- was it taken off YouTube or something? They basically said Cowen is an alco and it finished with the someone singing 'Dirty Old Cowen' to the tune of Dirty Old Town.

    I'd say the FF press office is on the phone to RTE right as we speak. Poor Brian's kids won't be able to handle the slagging at school.

    Oh yes. Pat Kenny - the man who recently complained that his €650,000 a year pay packet was a pittance when compared to Premiership players like John O'Shea.

    Another f*ckwit divorced from reality.

    It was bloody brilliant though! :pac:

    Best comedy thing on RTE in ages - and I don't say that easily. :pac: :pac: :pac:

    The full show should be available (See link below) later or tomorrow (as soon as they get to streaming it) :

    Quality & Gaybo. Not two words that I would readily associate together.

    Conor Lenihan and David McWilliams going head to head.

    Lot of anger in the audience : couple of guys trying to get businesses started and redtape, they say, is holding them back.
    The guy claiming that NAMA is the biggest hinderance to the likes of him in the property game is not far from the truth.
    NAMA is keeping property prices artificially high in his view.

    Owner of the Premier Group got short shrift from the audience.

    Good show tonight.

    Funniest thing I have ever seen in my life. My face actually was this face :eek:. Me and my dad broke up laughing.

    Id love to be a fly on the wall in Lenihans car when he switches his mobile on and Cowen calls him to tell him about it.

    Someone in RTE will get the chop for that one! + I recon I know what the topic on Live Line will be tomorrow haha. It was disgraceful Joe! =P

    Is it just me or does anyone else believe that Conor Lenihan is a bigger retard than Mary Coughlan therefore making him the biggest retard in government.

    What is this skit you all mention?

    Was it immediately after the show?

    When they stopped talking (said their goodbye's) and just before the titles rolled, they showed a number of skits.
