Liveline Thread (15/02/2012 to 01/05/2012)

Bard · 2012-02-14 23:27:06

Folks, Once again, at the request of the Admins, we have had to close the current Liveline thread due to its size. The discussion on Liveline can now continue on this thread as and from Feb 15th 2012 (but it will have to be transplanted to another thread again if/when a certain thread length is reached). So carry on as…

someone here might know, but is it true that a high percentage of employees at Google's HQ in Dublin, head back to their home countries at weekends. May of been mentioned on Mary Wilson's show.

judging by the amount of taxis hanging around and illegally parked on barrow street on a friday I wouldnt be surprised if a good few go but i wouldnt say a high percentage. theyve over 2000 employees

I'd say he will be after the Greek doctor who was on Morning Ireland. Bit of info here:

http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2012/0312/1224313153577.html

Or this "no Irish" ad in Aussie Gumtree being discussed in AH here:

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056575001

Plenty of sensation potential in both of those stories.

Very little point predicting what he is going to talk about any more.

The Liveline Agenda no longer bears any resemblence to what is in the news, or what most people are talking about.

What sickened me about this story was her excuse of drink/drugs, I'm sick of that being a defense.

It isnt taken as a defense in court. The jury would have been instructed not to take it as a defense.

She might have been sentenced to 6 years but she certainly wont serve that long.

I am happy to see a Judge handing down a tough sentence for blatant fraud.

More of the same, please.

I wonder if it was a banker who had stroked 1.5 million would all these good people be on here saying how terrible it was that he got 6 years.

He should have got more.

The fact that she was binned on coke got her off a murder charge

Joe's very quick to step in and stop callers from talking bad about people but when it comes to bad mouthing Sinn Fein the odd time he let's it happen.

He is 'well known around Dublin' according to Joe, as if that should be a mitigating factor. :rolleyes:

Why do people make excuses and bogus comparisons? This fella Paul Begley was defrauding the state at a time of massive revenue shortfall. He has a nice house.

The garlic man got that sentence to send out a message, I've no doubt that he will appeal and it will be reduced.

If he's paying it all back, so willingly - maybe he should've considered paying it all in the first place.

There has to be a deterrent to chancing your arm until you're caught.

'you would get less for Murder'

Eh, no actually. Murder is a Mandatory Life Sentence, which is a lot more than six years.
