    The blame lies with Vinny and his producer, if they're going to invite people on to discuss the newspapers they should allow ample time for them to make a contribution.

    Glenda has been on VB and scratched her ass before MrsD....

    Would she not have even made a contribution a condition before an appearance again?........ (subject to VB...of course...:D)

    I just hope Padraig Nally wasn't watching tonight when Browne did a hatchet job on his good name without mentioning the fact that the man was living in fear of his life after being broken into numerous times.

    It's easy for Browne to take the high moral ground living in a well to do area where the guards are just a quick phone call away.

    Bit different though if your poor and in a rural area.

    Vinny takes a commercial break with only five minutes of the show left, then says '' when we come back we'll finish this discussion, read the tweets, and review the morning papers''.
    Yeah, right!

    For the record, Vinny has previously mentioned that his old home (he sold it last year) was broken into at least twice. Presumably, that would give him some understanding of what it is like to have a home violated by burglars, would it not?

    He wasn't there at the time though, and like I said before I would imagine the Guards would get there alot quicker to his place than they would to a rural farmer.

    Was VB sitting alone in his shed at night out of fear of being broken into?

    I doubt it.

    You live in Clare, which like Galway and many other areas has large rural populations.

    Therefore I'm assuming you get the point I am making here.

    Indeed I do understand your point but I was just challenging you on your remark about Vincent ....

    I know lots of people who live in cities who are every bit as terrified of having their homes broken in to as people living in rural areas and some might say that there is more of a likelihood of being robbed if you live in a leafy Dublin area.

    I think that Vincent handled the whole Padraig Nally thing badly tonight, he managed to get Calleary to condemn the actions of Nally. He then went on to reprimand Calleary before finally pointing out that Nally had been acquitted.

    Yeah he did handle it badly, the first rule of being an interviewer is to remain impartial IMO he didn't do that in regard to P Nally.

    As regards robberies in the cities VB himself in a previous show put forward the view that Garda response time as quicker in more well off areas than in working class parts of urban areas.

    Doing a bit of a refurb job in the house at the moment and it is empty in the evenings, I was feeding the dogs there early this evening when I on my way back out of the garden I see a member of the travelling community coming out of my shed with some electrical wire in his hand.

    His response "the other lad said I could take a look around." No other lad around the place. The same happened my brother when he was building his house. Chancers, scumbags, the majority of them, law abiding me hole. Are there decent travelers? Yes, but they are in the minority.

    Why do we have to keep having the same discussion on abortion. he said/she said etc etc. Its the 21st century. Women should be in control of their own bodies and Church/State stay out of the bedroom

    Simons is an utterly intollerable woman. She is the pro-choices most effective weapon.

    I would say what I really think, but I'd rather not face a ban.

    Awful as she is, there's something really impressive about Caroline Simons. If I ever commit a horrible, indefensible crime, I want her as my lawyer.

    Simons is so typical of the "pro life" movements argument, twisting and turning and fudging the discussion

    I thought exactly the same as Vincent.. RTE should have had stronger editorial control of the piece... The Haitian earthquake had third place in the report behind Denis O'Brien and (as usual) Charlie Bird.

    But unlike the rest of them, she's so damn good at it.
