Tonight With Vincent Browne Thread v 4.0 (08/07/14 to date)

Lady Chatterton · 31-07-2014 11:01pm

I like Niamh but her presentation tonight is a bit too panto like.

mikeyjames9 · 31-07-2014 11:05pm

panto?

mikeyjames9 · 31-07-2014 11:05pm

she's not too bad

easy on the eye is a bonus

Harry Angstrom · 31-07-2014 11:07pm

Leo is the only member of Fine Gael that I'd have any respect for. He's one of those few politicians who says what he thinks.

This is a decent interview.

call me sexist but women shouldn't be on tv unless they have a modicum of good looks

niamh fits the bill nicely

Atlantic Dawn · 31-07-2014 11:12pm

If he does sort out health fair play to him, I would have preferred him to stay in Transport though. Reilly seemed to just have a personal crusade against the tobacco companies while the whole health system around him crumbled.

Agreed. He speaks the truth. However, it's only a matter of time before he gets into trouble. The Irish public do not want to hear the truth, they just want to hear empty rhetoric from the loony left about some kind of Utopia.
I'd give Leo about six months before the loonies start baying for his blood.

coolhull · 31-07-2014 11:13pm

Leo is definitely the best of a bad shower

Niamh is flirting a little with Leo

Does this apply to men too?

Atlantic Dawn · 31-07-2014 11:16pm

Thought they would be discussing the water charges that were disclosed today for the first time, double the price of commercial rates per litre and one of the highest in Europe.

Roger_007 · 31-07-2014 11:16pm

Ah Niamh........take off the glasses ffs.

Hitchens · 31-07-2014 11:16pm

sexy specs

Lady Chatterton · 31-07-2014 11:17pm

Oh dear Jill Kirby will be on the panel

I find her more irritating than Mammy O'Rourke and Marie Louise O'Dramatic put together.

If John Crowne had became a dentist, it would've been mildly amusing.

Roger_007 · 31-07-2014 11:21pm

LOW salaries?.........what planet does Dr Crown inhabit?

Atlantic Dawn · 31-07-2014 11:22pm

They are still at it, putting millions and possibly billions in to theories, possible fixes, guesses on how to fix the health system. Simply go to whatever country in the EU has the best health system, copy that exactly, job done.

...with his practice located by the Royal Canal

mikeyjames9 · 31-07-2014 11:25pm

16 billion/4 million

€4k per man/woman/ child per year

for what?

Atlantic Dawn · 31-07-2014 11:27pm

€14 billion divided by say our population at a generous 5 million is €2800 a head, pricey for the total rubbish service we get, add to that the €100 A&E charge and various other costs when you actually do get seen to.

Harry Angstrom · 31-07-2014 11:29pm

That loony universal healthcare thing will never get off the ground. There's no appetite for it.

Why not copy the NHS in the UK. Most British people are happy with it.
I know the doctors will be against it because it would eliminate their private income.

Harry Angstrom · 31-07-2014 11:35pm

I reckon everything would be okay if the government invested in gold. Jill would agree, I'd say.

Roger_007 · 31-07-2014 11:36pm

When did John Crowne join Sin Fein?

mikeyjames9 · 31-07-2014 11:40pm

crowne is warbling on about austerity and saving money and policing doctors

its the tail wagging the dog

Harry Angstrom · 31-07-2014 11:42pm

I wonder if Ivor smuggled a mobile into prison? He'd have plenty to choose from.

I'd say he has the inmates there winding him up all day long asking him to get them a nice new phone

I'm gonna get myself one of these umbrellas:

Good loser · 01-08-2014 12:13am

The entire health system should never be the subject of a 30/35 minute program - with two amateurs and one professional. All these programs just add to the confusion.

Naughton's point about the MS drug was worth investigating; I'm sure he knows why it's not paid for but, to keep onside with the voters, he pretends to be mystified!

Also why anybody would pay €75 for a drug if available for €3 in UK is beyond belief. That could have been the topic for the whole program and we might have got some genuine clarity.

Lady Chatterton · 05-08-2014 11:01pm

Danielle looks very like Síle Seoighe.

Harry Angstrom · 05-08-2014 11:09pm

These ads are ridiculous.

Harry Angstrom · 05-08-2014 11:10pm

It's Lord Kitchener!

BettePorter · 05-08-2014 11:12pm

I wonder what the drop in viewing figures has been since vinnie has been sick. Personally i have no interest in it save for the week dearbla had it which was at least bearable. Nobody does it like vinnie does though! Enda could be assassinated on croagh Patrick and I wouldn't switch over unless vinnie came back! Enda , Bertie and Larry Murphy could appear on the panel for a grilling and I wouldn't care!

Someone should tell him that it's not a fancy-dress do.:eek:

Harry Angstrom · 05-08-2014 11:19pm

I don't why anybody gives John Bruton the time of day. He was an inept Taoiseach and he's now a European arse-licker.

Harry Angstrom · 05-08-2014 11:24pm

Don't mention ze var, Ursula.

mikeyjames9 · 05-08-2014 11:31pm

this presenter is a bit deadbeat

wtf is bruton on about?

Harry Angstrom · 05-08-2014 11:33pm

Bruton wants us to glorify the slaughter of the First World War but he wants to forget about the "violent" Rising. Fcuking hypocrite.

He also seems to conveniently forget that Redmond wanted to remain part of The Empire.

Lapin · 05-08-2014 11:41pm

Spent the last hour watching a discussion on RTÉ 1 with Robert Ballagh on the panel.

Then flick over to Channel 3 and look who's there. Robert Ballagh again on another panel.

Feck sake.

I agree with Bruton about 1916 being unnecessary. The Irish, and particularly the 1916 leaders, seem to glorify the 'blood sacrifice'. This attitude was carried on by the IRA and resulted in 3000 unnecessary deaths during the 'troubles' in Northern Ireland. Nothing much has been achieved in Ireland by violence in the last 100 years that could not have been achieved by peaceful means. A lot of lives were wasted for no good reason.

hotmail.com · 05-08-2014 11:42pm

Bruton not being drawn on independent Ireland's first government which enshrined conservatism.
