That's not the point, we're made buy tv licences or else we go to prison and all we're paying for is crap like RTE's 'stars' 6 figure pay checks or paying for RTE's stars cocaine addiction and worst of all we're paying for that rubberbandit crap.

Until such time that Ireland has a population in the order of tens of millions, people need to get used to the fact that a lot of nobodies will be seen as celebrities by RTE.

Hes a bit like a Kerryman member of the Hardy Bucks. He thinks hes the David Beckham of gaelic football............. oh and I think he battered some small children under his stewardship while he was a teacher.
That may not be completely true, but thats what I heard. I dont care, I just want to hitch up to this hate wagon and ride it out of town.

Maeve Binchy or Paul Galvin. Who gives a monkeys?? Sure Fair City has one of the highest ratings on RTE and that's a load of me hole. Somebody must be watching this boll*cks, so RTE must be aware of something that we're not.

Mrmoe

I don't know, maybe read a book by Maeve Binchy instead:P

I got notice to renew my tv license at the start of December. Haven't paid it yet, and to be honest I don't think I will.
It'd be morally wrong.
Don't mind the shytty programs they churn out - or the wages that are paid to their 'stars- - our license money would go towards the funding of terrorism, it would make shyt of our streets and kills people.
Drugs.
You pay your license - and you're an accessory.

RTE is something else that must go along with FF. We'll rid this country of all the cnuts raping us yet.

I wouldn't watch it myself, but anything RTÉ has on which is not the standard saturation soccer coverage is a refreshing break from blandness and commercialised "sport". It's a sad day when that even includes Paul Galvin.

There was a great sporting documentary on RTÉ Radio 1 earlier today entitled 'Who Fears to Speak of '98?' that had me sitting in the car outside the house listening to it for a half an hour after arriving home. It's a long time since that has happened. In my book, quality radio (e.g. RTÉ Radio 1; RnaG, Lyric, BBC World Service) is generally much more interesting, more informative, better quality and less commercial than tv any day of the week.

Getting very sick of the "Who?" posts on here when somebody well known gets a thread about them. You are not superior because you don't know a man who is very famous in Ireland. And if you don't know who they are, do you really have to tell us?

OT, Galvin is relatively well known, so a documentary about him is hardly the worst thing they could put on TV. If I were stuck with only RTE I would have watched it. Thankfully I could watch the football instead. But it would be better than the hypocritical Gerry Ryan-fest on RTE 1 at the minute anyway.

RTE Radio One documentaries are almost always fantastic.

Outside of people with an interest in GAA, Paul Galvin is a nobody so its no surprise that he isnt well known to everyone.

Are you serious!
Just because I might be a plank for not knowing, subsequently am I not allowed to even ask within a thread that references him?
I might be stupid for not knowing who he is - that just makes me stupid more so - not bloody superior as you would have me bloody falsely painted!
Get over yourself and remove the chip from your shoulder!
I was only fcukin' asking!

Jeasus, some people are unreal!

My point is that it is hardly necessary for anybody to post on Boards saying "Who". It happens in nearly every thread about somebody famous (we can debate levels of fame, but you get what I mean). Anybody genuinely interested in finding out who the person is can use Google. It just strikes me as being posted to show how wonderfully unaware some people are of popular culture.
