Wasn't he supposed to have been in a lot of drug related debt?

Any mention of what sort of a pension he'd be on? I'd say it would be large, hollywood large. Obviously he's worth every penny cos the BBC etc are panting for him, blah,blah, ryan tubridy, blah, England, blah, Miriam, blah. Me hole, etc.

He was paid all that money to rant about drugs, while then going out and giving it all back to the dealers.

Its the circle of life Simba.

That's only €821 a day, before tax, so prob €600ish, after. €100 for this, €100 for that, €100 for the other and that leaves €300, €100 for the missus, €100 for mortgage/loans/credit card, €100 for the car/fuel/clothes and blam, you're broke. Easy really.

This guy earns 750k a year.

What kind of debts/habits does he have that he can't afford to retire?

Does he own tens of millions to the Russian mob or some sh!t?

Here's the news. The sh1t you own/have to own/have to pay expands to meet your income. If you're on 35k a year, you live to 35k. If you're on a mil, you live a mil. People are funny, they expand their stuff to meet their income..

RoundyMooney

Now that Pat has given up the Late Late, which he was mostly dismal at, in favour of doing what he should have stuck to all along, I'd rather see him hang on.

Aside from meandering a bit at times in terms of topics, his radio show is top notch and he's always well prepared for it, unlike some of his colleagues.

Regarding his pension, that's something he would have presumably arranged himself, because he contracts his services to the RTE mothership, rather than being employed by them.

I've two words if Pat retired....

Myles Dungan.

I think we should keep Pat in some weird servitude.

I'm aware of that. But here's the rub. I don't have a drug habit or a taste for expensive clothes/gadgetry. I earn about 6k a month after tax but I'm always running to stand still. I drop about 35 a day on beer and cigs. After bills are paid and crap like that I have about 2k left over each month and I think I'm a spendthrift. I'll take a 14 euro taxi to see my mother instead of a 2 quid bus trip, etc.

Pat bought his gaff in 1988. It MUST be paid off by now. I would imagine he supports his kids too. But he doesn't have to. They should be adults by now. Even if he skulls 10 pints a night (which I doubt) that's still only about 1400 a month.

You are telling me that you live to you're income. Are you suggesting that Premiership footballers many of whom are on a million a month instead of a million a year will be screwed when their careers end at 35 instead of 65 like Pat's ?

Does Rooney burn through 12 mill a year just because that's what he earns?

I know he's not a bright spark but not even a coke soaked, whoremongering gambling addict could accomplish that. And neither Pat nor Wayne are in that category.

I see what you're doing wrong. You need to buy more cars, yachts and foreign properties.;) That'll get you over the line.

Didn't he have to pay 1-2 million euro for the field he claimed squatter's rights on? That probably put a bit of a dent in his earnings in the five years since.

I can see the man's point in fairness !

Has a major pad up Gorse Hill way...as a previous poster has mentioned the long legal battle for the adjoining field soaked up a lot of funds plus what he had to actually shell out for the property in the end.

Probably has a couple of overseas propertys plus a few additional gaffs in Ireland.

Mortgages on these....now the real problem for the likes of Pat and Gaybo is that the money that they had squirrelled away for the rainy day has taken a huge hit...probably had a bit of it in bank shares.

So delivering a fairly puny income by their standards......so no mystery why the man has to work on.

He is approaching 65 so he knows this question is going to come up....this is purely a pre-emptive strike...... probably on the advice of his PR people.

Still has "The Book" to fall back on if he needs a little extra wedge.....

His brother! The pension ombudsman obiviously didn't advise him very well!

Two words when it comes to Pat Kenny not being able to retire & thats EXCESSIVE GREED.

The country has been built on it & now were suffering for it & will be for many a year

Live within your means and you be grand, obviously Grandma Kenny never passed that wisdom onto her Grandson.

Having to listen?

I've got news for you, Joe drives that show. If someone rings up to say the world is not ending, and that things aren't as bad as they'd have you believe, suddenly their line goes bad, and it's back to Tom from Ballyfermot whose house has been stolen.

Every time I see or hear Joe Duffy mentioned, I get a mental image of him in S&M gear pulling the nipples off himself-damn you Savage eye..

He loves the old misery porn.

I remember years ago when Marion Finucane did liveline and it was light hearted but still entertaining and I quite liked it, and now and again Joe would do it on a Friday, you always knew he would have some abuse victim on talking about their woes or something.

Pat was moaning about how tough it is to be a freelancer? he's delusional. I'd love to be a freelancer on his T and Cs. he and his "freelancer" colleagues were quite happy to stay outside the PAYE system for years, on an artificial arrangement with RTE, so **** him if the recession is biting.

I think if he has to work on past when most other professions would force you to retire it should be doing something we'd actually enjoying watching.

We could have a weekly text voting show on the Thursday and then on Friday Pat would have to do whatever the public have decided. So maybe one week it would be Pat taming a hideous wild and dangerous Lion (or Twink his call) and the next week it could be using his face to crack 100 eggs in a minute.
