Justine is a great print journalist but she is poor enough at presenting this programme. Maybe she'll become more comfortable with the role over the coming days.

I dunno... Vincent's been presenting it for over six years, and he hasn't got the hang of it yet.

BikeQueery · 28-07-2014 11:34pm

This woman who thinks it's not all about economics.. who let clueless on tv..

It's quite bizarre that Sean Brady still shows up at state events.

mikeyjames9 · 28-07-2014 11:37pm

cardinal Brady should resign

Justine does not look like she is talking into the camera with a lot of much confidence to be honest.

They are talking about Fr Brendan Smith now instead of Ivor Callely.

Tomorrow night's topic: "The French Revolution - successful or not? Or is it too early to judge?"

Lady Chatterton · 28-07-2014 11:41pm

Justine's jacket looks like it was made from cotton tea towels.

The treatment of those victims that received that barbaric operation have been treated terribly by this government.

Harry Angstrom · 28-07-2014 11:44pm

If an unemployed person goes to prison their social welfare is stopped. Doesn't apply to the political elite on their massive social welfare payments, though.

Harry Angstrom · 28-07-2014 11:57pm

If a politician is convicted of a crime whilst in office, they should lose all pension entitlements. The fact that Ray Burke is still in receipt of a huge pension is a disgrace.

Lady Chatterton · 28-07-2014 11:59pm

I like Mick Clifford, I'll have to tune in tomorrow night to check out his presenting skills. Imagine if John Drennan hosted the show, now that really would be hilarious

I'd suggest a drinking game where, every time Drennan speaks in a metaphor or simile, we'd have to down a shot - but we'd probably all be dead of alcohol poisoning by the end of the night.

HeidiHeidi · 29-07-2014 9:17am

Are they doing a different present every night these days?

VB sends my blood pressure into orbit most of the time so I rarely watch, but if there's a lucky-dip of presenters I might have to start tuning in again. Thought Derbhail was great the other day, Justine not so much - far better in print than talking.

As much as Vinnie drives me nuts, I wish him well - did I see somewhere that he's been ill for a while?

:D:D

Someone in TV3 must be reading this thread!!!

Let the JD drinking games commence

Mick Clifford has become the new Mary O'Rourke - you can't turn on a current affairs programme without seeing or hearing him on it.

tayto lover · 29-07-2014 11:06pm

BUT the really corrupt people do not resign.

Roger_007 · 29-07-2014 11:08pm

If there's a job going reading the news, Mary Carolan need not apply!

Lady Chatterton · 29-07-2014 11:10pm

John Drennan is sporting 1970's fashion this evening!

At least Clifford has something meaningful to contribute and is always worth listening to.

Top journalist.

Drennan isn't bad either but gets a bit to smart aleky for his own good at times.
Tries too hard to be clever.

grey_so_what · 29-07-2014 11:12pm

John always looks scruffy, in a "bold school boy" sort of way..the way he slouches at the desk...

And an added few pounds since I saw him last.

He could do with a little less butter on his spuds.

Down with that sort of thing......:(

That Liberty annoying "lets pretend" american voice is still around.....:mad:

Harry Angstrom · 29-07-2014 11:18pm

Interesting segue there - A discussion on Seanie Fitz, followed by a discussion about being soft on crime......

grey_so_what · 29-07-2014 11:21pm

When Defendants can sit in court and open snigger at the Judge who is summoning up and saying how "deprived" they are and giving them probation, that's when you despair of the court system.....

The Legal Aid system here is jobs for the boys.

tayto lover · 29-07-2014 11:22pm

There's no prison spaces to deal with criminals.
If one goes in another gets out.
Loads of crimes committed by people on bail.

Actually, it's mostly jobs for the girls these days!

She should be sentenced for that D4 accent

You've got to change your username to "Aubrey Loves Newstalk" now.

How long is VB without ads?......

12 minutes is my guess...:(

Ah now GSW............An acquaintance of mine is a barrister and she says that about 75% of newly qualified barristers in the last five years are female.
Nothing wrong with that......it's just a fact.

Well, to make you happy Roger, I'll say it's a job for the lads and the lassies....:D;)

These ads completely ruin the flow of the show. We're never again going to have a situation where Vinnie corners a politician and makes them squirm for ages, because the ads will now come to their rescue

Apart from the fact they'll run to the hills before they'll come on anyway Harry..:(

I always got a bit of pleasure from the squirming I must admit....:o

Guilty pleasures....;)

Harry Angstrom · 29-07-2014 11:34pm

John O'Keeffe reminds me of Hector Elizondo....

grey_so_what · 29-07-2014 11:35pm

You're spot on there Harry! He's the image of him!

hotmail.com · 29-07-2014 11:37pm

Eamon, obviously the aim should be to prevent further crime from happening?

tayto lover · 29-07-2014 11:38pm

65k a year to keep a lad in prison.
Who are the victims?

Harry Angstrom · 29-07-2014 11:39pm

If Joe Duffy was on the panel tonight, he'd be saying they're unwell.

grey_so_what · 29-07-2014 11:39pm

Mick is climbing Mount Everest looking for sympathy tonight...

grey_so_what · 29-07-2014 11:41pm

But she's not nude at all??.....***shock horror***

That story with the man with all the wives was hilarious....God bless his energy!

Lady Chatterton · 29-07-2014 11:42pm

I hope Joe O'Reilly isn't released anytime soon.

Isn't he studying law as far as I remember?....

That picture of Gaza is awful. Those poor people.
Israel acting like demons.

And we're paying for it :mad:

TV 3 making a programme about that 4 lover story as we speak.

grey_so_what · 29-07-2014 11:45pm

I'd say a thousand is a bit underestimated....

There is a lot of hand-outs during the year also..

Roger_007 · 29-07-2014 11:45pm

€1000 a year to send a child to school?......So ffn what....... Do people think that you can raise a child free of charge?

Harry Angstrom · 29-07-2014 11:46pm

I wouldn't like to have John Drennan as my uncle. "A fiver is enough" :rolleyes:

No but it does make a laugh of the term "free education".
