    Valerie Cox out “investigating” rubbish again.
    I could understand how a one-off piece about illegal dumping could be interesting, but a weekly piece where she roots through sh1te is just boring.

    Literally the same crap every week.

    I have to disagree with you there Poly.
    I think its a good idea to highlight the problem of illegal dumping on a regular basis. Its a disgusting practice and those who carry it out deserve to be named and shamed. A once off report on the problem would soon be forgotten.
    At the very least, Valerie Cox's regular reports help to keep the issue in the public conscience. I would like to see follow up reports on the outcome of the court judgments against those who were caught dumping illegally.

    Better still, name them on air and put the names on a 'wall of shame' on the RTE website.

    It's kind of pointless unless they name them on air.. otherwise it's just the same story over and over again.

    I heard the 1st report on the litter and in fairness was fairly disgusting especially with the dead cat in the black bag. Not alot of current affiars on at that time of the day and does so some good topics. better listening to him then watching him

    yeah, they covered it last September, or the September before, I remember. It was funny, they were hammering people whose names appeared on bits of litter. When it was reported that bits of RTE scripts with Pat Kenny's name on them floating around Nutley lane or some such place, he just laughed it off...

    Well this what happens when the half hour is put back onto the show when there's still not a huge amount news about.

    I liked the segment but thought it shoulda moved on a bit more on its second outting. So I just settled for listening to VC as I just like her. She can really put across the right level of empathy with her subject. Solid and yet homely investigative work usually.

    Another riveting episode of "ditch watch".
    It's like "murder she wrote" except with old nappies.

    I wonder what happens?

    I can imagine when they approach people about their rubbish, they just say "I have no idea how my rubbish got there" and they have no case against them.

    It takes more than Noel Whelan's lame attempts to defend Brian Cowen/Fianna Fail to fluster Pat.

    After the last half an hour I've come to realise that Pat likes nothing better than a good old natter about science.

    Just heard the start of yesterdays programme on the night repeat.

    According to PK, relations between France and Germany are at a "new low."

    Well thats all we need. Will those Germans ever learn ?

    Or maybe it was the French who started it this time.

    Either way, I wonder if we'll stay neutral this time round. ;)
