On about the icy weather, roads etc.

One lad broke his rib after slipping outside Dundrum shopping centre, waiting 13 hours in A&E. Wouldn have fancied that.

oh cool. I think Minister O'Cuiv has been a lame duck ever since the McCarthy reported suggested that his department was not needed. Not that I thought he was a great performer anyway.

The government werent responsible for the weather, but god they performed poorly during the time.

This show is poor.
A missed opportunity to show the poor planning and decision making of this Govt.
Going on about paths in rural areas ,FFS,and people running out of food in isolated areas.
What do these people expect.

17,000 for one night in hospital.
Scandalous,is it any wonder health insurance is so expensive when these consultants and anesthetists charge such outrageous fees.
Rip off Ireland.

I know its my first post but I had to reply to this!!

I know paths in rural areas aren't that important but its still a matter of health and safety, people can fall just as easy in rural areas as in urban areas so why not treat them?? I don't see anything wrong with it.

So what about people living in isolated areas? Are they not allowed to get food?! What about all the people in urban areas who became isolated in the recent floods, they got ample help to get out of their predicament, so why shouldn't these unfortunate people get help this time around??

did Pat actually say "in case you snuff it on the table". usual level of tact and empathy from the great one with an audience containing many people who probably have serious medical conditions given the subject matter. Reminds me of saying "you're dying to get out there" to the irish army private about to go to Chad.

Anyways argument boils down to 51st state of U.S. values - if you can afford health insurance you are a better person than those who cannot so deserve a better standard of health care.

Thank heavens Pat has healthcare, and only the best level too i'll bet...

The point I was making is that people in the audience seemed to believe every bloody road and path in the whole country should have been gritted .That is farcical.
I live in a rural area myself and the roads werent treated at all,I didnt see a council worker in over a month,normally they are up and down the road every day .
I notice Pats audience always seem to have the poor mouth and take an extreme view on alot of things.
As for the people in isolated areas ,the examples given were poor.
Last week on Primetime some woman in Carlow with 4 children said she had been cut off for 10 days and had run out of food.
Frankly that is ridiculous and almost laughable.Its Ireland not Antartica.

Yeah thats fair enough, I think I just took you up wrong!
I'd agree with you that the audience are a little extreme at times but i guess they've to keep you watching to pay Pat's "little" wage packet:D
