Tonight With Vincent Browne Thread v2.0

Really think even less of O'Cuiv now. Nasty git for furthering a discussion that wasn't needed.

RossieGooner · 28-03-2012 11:49pm

Bertie responsible for the peace prcess according to little dev.... methinks he should read Mo Mowlams memoirs to see who did what ........

That flora cuisine woman is the most annoying woman on TV.

finty · 28-03-2012 11:53pm

mini Dev is a bit of an imbecile...

no wonder we are in the state we are in with muppets like that in the dail.

So John Bruton broke the IRA ceasefire in the mid 90s according to Dev! Interesting comment.

Was interesting wasnt it! You dont get much lower than personally blaming a good man like Bruton for murders that happened, and all to make FF look less bad on the back of corruption. He could have stuck to the postives of Aherns role in the peace process but instead he had to fling horrid muck. Glad the lads pulled him up on over the reason for the ceasefire breaking, and he had nothing except bluff and bluster, FFs biggest weapon for sometime.

Did they find him in a broom cupboard in FF HQ? He seems a relic left over from the 1950s.

Just switched back over to RTE ONE for the Seanad sittings.. Talking about the household charge... It really is baffling that all of the people in the Council, not one of them thought to allow payment of this charge in the post office.. An absolute no brainer, yet not one person thought of it???? You'd really wonder about how they cope with the genuinely difficult problems that would arise in their work...

O'Dowd looks like he hasn't recovered from his awful LLS performance.

I think VinB could have asked him any question he wanted and would have got the same response about spending more than we take in, can't keep borrowing etc etc.

Sinn Féin really do need to do a bit of an upgrade of the Easter Lily ... it looks like something a national school child produced

woodoo · 29-03-2012 11:08pm

Why does Vincent even bother with that half smile going to breaks. Its pitiful and half arsed. He'd be better off just grimly looking into the camera.

dublinman1990 · 29-03-2012 11:12pm

Does anyone what tonight's programme is about?

EDIT* I that Promissory note deal is good for Ireland IMO. It will make the debt sustainable and more easier to manage even until 2025.

its all smoke and mirrors to me at the minute

I love Vinny for getting to the bottom of things, I was under the impression it was 2025, the whole Bank Of Ireland loan issue seemed to be avoided in all media today.

take everything · 29-03-2012 11:30pm

Just tuned in.
I can only assume Pascal and co are going around with ****-eating grins on them after the deal.

Edit: that's not Pascal, it's the other guy, sorry.

I thought the post office was consulted at the tender stage?

FG said yesterday that the Post Office wanted a 3 euro handling fee for each payment.

Claire Daly is dangerously close to becoming part of the furniture in Irish TV and radio stations.

She's a younger lefty version of Mary O'Rourke.

Giving out about private businesses and people with private pensions.. Who does she think pay for all of the people on the dole and public servants who vote for her...

I am so glad I watched the Frontline. The Labour TD explain why she co-opted her Dad to her former council seat and not a woman if she is all for more women in politics?

dublinman1990 · 02-04-2012 11:44pm

There is something about capital projects being mentioned; what is this all about?

My local former secondary school in Dublin got delayed for another 4 years after 12 years of planning to build it. It was an appalling decision to hold it back even more. The design team was in place a couple of months before construction.

Either if it is the planning laws or if it is the planners themselves. Both of them are becoming slower to address the core problems.

I watched the Frontline as well and I thought it was a great issue to discuss Local Government reform. The Councillor's who became TD's had asked favours to get the to ''keep the camp happy'' was not surprising by any means.

15+ questions for J Tuffy. One or so each for C Daly and M Taft just to get them started.

She is getting very good at debating and has her facts well prepared.

I always get the feeling I'm gonna get headbutted or punched in the face whenever I hear Clare Daly speak.

Cardinal Richelieu · 02-04-2012 11:52pm

Tuffy should go to a voice coach, its the way she talks so fast then the sudden sharp intake of air before she chokes.

Every nights she's on the same old moaning and whinging about the hard pressed people on benefits and lower paid public servants... Both sacred cows in this time of austerity (i.e. no realistic cuts in benefits, no mandatory redundancies from public sector)... She such a negative whingebag that she makes Peig Saors seem optimistic..

I still cant work that one out... She doesnt sound like she's from Newbridge.. If you think her accent is bad, you'd wanna hear the Moorefield accent... And I heard the other day that Jim Power used to live in North Kildare... I may be packing my bags shortly..

And Seoiges..

haha... I remember just about the time of the FG leadership challenge by Richard Bruton, Ryan Tubridy was interviewing Enda Kenny and pejoratively asked "What do you think will happen first, you becoming Taoiseach or Mayo winning the All Ireland?"... After the GAA at the weekend, Enda could get the opportunity to give Tubridy the two fingers on both accounts by the end of the year.. :pac:

She was on with Moor MacDowall one night, on Prime Time, which is set up as more of a head to head debate style... And I was embarrassed for her.. One they go off their script with the usual "the rich must pay", "cuts hitting the poorest in society" mantras, there is no actual substance to her.

I thought you might have been from Syria,

or North Korea,

or Somalia.

Niger perhaps.

Or maybe the comically named Democratic Rebublic of Congo where people have been dying at a rate of 45,000 a month since the 1960s from wars, famine and disease.

Coming from there is worth getting depressed over.
Ireland isn't.
Píssed off - yes. ..............But depressed - hardly.
