    He's presenting for the rest of the week. Good stuff..

    It is good that Ivan is reviewing the newspapers properly. Vinny rarely gets beyond announcing the headlines.

    Really makes you wonder about FF though.. Ex Ministers taking >120k pensions from a State that is borrowing the money to pay them.. having contributed to the desperate economic situation themselves.. And they get a cordial welcome at the Fianna Fáil Ard Fhéis... Are they really patriots?

    Indeed and I bet Ivan is taking his pension too as well as double jobbing on t.v and running his remaining bookie offices. They are all the same imo.

    But the point is that they are all taking whatever they think they are entitled to, good, bad or indifferent. All the snouts are in the trough.

    Ah but like his bookies he would have given half the chance.

    The type of spending that FF/PDs did they all would have done had they been given the chance.

    Well whether he would or wouldn't .... fact is he didn't

    That's not to say that I don't think the multiple, massive pensions, allowances, expenses etc etc isn't a down right obscenity.

    I have to agree with those who praised Ivan Yates.

    While Vincent occasionally provides moments of magic, Ivan is generally so much sharper, to the point and keeps the discussion moving along nicely.

    The Northsiders want it on the Northside.
    The Southsiders want it on the Southside.
    The Culchies want it on the Naas Road.

    Just buy one of these

    Crown speaks the truth, too many small hospitals in Dublin and doctors busy playing politics in each hospital.

    I have heard people looking for it to be in Athlone (i.e. geographically in the centre of the Country), but that's not going to work.

    The Mater is a nightmare to get to from outside Dublin, there is nowhere to park and very little Public Transport.

    Despite Professor Crown's protestations, I am certain the only reason the Mater was chosen was because of the influence of Ahern.

    I find it absolutely incomprehensible that they would not have an advisor on the board from An Bórd Pleannála advising them what was and was not possible... There is no conflict of interest when children's health is the priority.. It seems that the only people who win out of this is An Bórd Pleannála themselves as they have a bit of work when the plan is resubmitted.... The losers are EVERYBODY else in the State, including the children..

    I agree, Athlone is a non runner for lots of reasons but in addition to that many clinicians also have teaching roles in Universities in the city, they won't want to be based outside Dublin.

    You'd have to respect the success he has had in business, but how exactly he can STILL be as arrogant, flippant and self absorbed now that he has been rescued by the taxpayer is beyond me...

    For me it's about children's health and not business. He obviously hasn't been that successful as he has been NAMAD !

    Didn't he also get a nice new free Luas line to his business? And a new bridge at his other business.

    Ridiculous that this guy gets to sit as chairperson, he knows as much about new hospitals as I do.:mad:

    Apparently hair loss is an occupational hazard for the contemporary professional cricketer.. Seemed like it was a pitch primarily directed at Yates himself.. they know that he doesnt have a shilling now, dont they?
