    Tonight's intro

    "Data published in the last few days by the Central Statistics Office presents a very grim picture of the state of the Nation. The economy contracting, retail sales contracting, house prices falling with possible grave consequences for the stability of our banks, and deep inequality. That's after the news with Alan Cantwell"

    Wouldnt that put a spring your step.. He's like George Lee at this stage..

    That intro seems a long time ago. Vincent is just taking pot shots at anyone and everyone now.

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

    Tobin and Sinn Fein people should just apologise for the killings and express regret for them.

    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. :D

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
