For the past few days I have been in contact with RTE's 'Liveline' by phone, text and email to talk to Joe Duffy about the report in the 'Sunday Independent' about people working for RTE being paid through companies, thereby legally avoiding paying tax at 45pc plus PRSI and levies, and instead paying company tax at 12.5pc.

I thought this subject would be of interest to their listeners, but apparently they do not think so as they didn't call me back.

They seem to think that a discussion about something that happened 90 years ago in the 1920s is of more interest.

I wonder why?

This is the problem with Joe Duffy he tries to make out he is fair and balanced yet when topics arise that are of genuine interest to the general public but uncomfortable for him personally to deal with he ignores and makes out as if they are not happening, -gerry ryan, father reynolds, rte pensions, rte top earners etc.I feel he would gain a lot more respect from everybody if he just discussed these issues from time to time.His picking and choosing of topics to suit himself would not look out of place in North Korea!

the problem is the duffmeisters nipple clamps are set to activate when discussing "death" and misery, preferbly at once, current affairs doesnt do it for him, or anything that might affect him/rte.

....and get the quickest "terrible line, bad line" in Duffer history

The great man (according to his blurb on RCS:rolleyes:) talking about the Olympics today.

Suppose he'll start off with the Munich massacre, hoping some Irish bar owner on the Marienplatz has some tales of death and mayhem to tell from '72. "it was terrible Joe, we were packed for three days after it"

Chances are he'll eventually move on to the deplorable state of the grave where the captain of the Irish tug-o'-war team who finished 6th in Athens 1896 is buried and how the gubbermint have treated his, and the Seapoint mussel eating team of 1908 - memories in such a disgraceful manner, my god, good god!

Enda Kenny is full of sh1t

Ask Pat Hickey about making Sonia O'Sullivan change her kit in the tunnel.. A gombeen of the highest order that lad.

Thank god it's not FF, I didn't get to the radio in time after the news in order to change channels and thought my ears were going to be polluted.

Anyway, Duffy is the new probation board. If you're sent to prison your mates just have to ring the Duffmeister to plead your case to have your prison sentence overturned.

RadioRetro

Joe seems to love the defenders of the debtors. This time a man banged up for VAT fraud is the salt of the earth, wouldn't see you wrong type.

SEPT 23 1989

You dont mess with the state if you are the little guy

neris

rob from a citizen of the country you get a slap on the wrist. rob from the state coffers and you get banged up (unless your mick wallace)

Jaysoose

Dont do the crime...etc etc.. at 53 years old he should no better.

RadioRetro

"I'm not defending the guy" Sounds an awful like you are, mate.

60 people...made up number alert!!!

When he mentioned a politican "with a tear in his eye", Joe got very uppity until yer man said he was referring to Mick Wallace.

If he said Bertie, Joe would have been down his throat!

SEPT 23 1989

I just hope Fitzey the Scumbags sentence fits the theft of 35bn from the state

SilverLiningOK

What's going on here ? Is Joe now running a telethon for private sector charity ? Is the new sponsor IBEC and other self employed lobby groups ?

He likes to talk

europa11

He owes so much to the Revenue Comm. and is sent to jail.

Genuine question here:

Does that debt still apply when he serves his time or is it wiped off the slate?

SilverLiningOK

Liveline Special - Business Men in Prison. Should be fascinating with Joe's in depth knowledge of the nations prisons interior decor and facilities.

I would hope it would be gone

Now what tribe would be doing that?

europa11

"The Guards are so overwhelmed". Really!!!....and why would they bother their holes at all when they've got this ready made excuse and apologists like this gimp to cover for them.

Cienciano

"Anti robbery protection"?
You mean "security"?
