Ah they're good enough. But that second song was something like you would expect on a children's program. Really didn't fit the show.

I like Mariead McGuinness. I think she's a strong speaker.

Sean should shut up and chair the debate, he sounds like he has a horse in the race.

Well after Eamon Dunphy called the government the most corrupt in history and when challenged for examples or proof Peadar Tobin weighed in with Denis O'Brien I'd say Sean is getting an ear bashing from the legal department on his chairing technique about now.

Sure they are grand..."bubbly personalities" and "free spirits" which is code for they like having a good time - preferably at somebody's expense - and don't give a flying f#%k about anyone or anything..except themselves.

If he had just chaired the debate instead of poo pooing the idea (which was Mairead Mcguinness's job) we might have found out why Eamonn thinks that. Instead we got a mayhem of voices. Very unprofessional.

If we told them we would cover all their key expenses for things like medical treatment, food, education etc BUT only with service/product specific vouchers that couldn't be blown on rubbish like Rihanna Tickets and X-Boxes then you'd hear some world class whining.

They should be getting some sort of vouchers for the Essentials and then let the govt give the cash to the shop/service. Too many people on social scamming it and making false claims.

Dunphy got his arse handed to him after that comment, by McGuiness and Sean.

I love the Henry Girls! They do a fantastic version of Elvis Costello's Watching the Detectives.

Just heard a song by them on Playback - don't know if it's the one referred to - I thought it was lovely. Reminded me of the Swimming Song by the McGarrigles. You need something a bit different every now and then

Ferritéar is like fingernails on a blackboard for me- period.

Irrespective of what he says.

Didn't hear the piece but let me guess, he was whinging about funding for something or someone?

That's because a lot of what he calls history others would call stale current affairs.

I agree with April. But seriously "Tyrannical"???
Using words like this isn't going to help her cause.

Harry Angstrom

The "tyranny" of the majority.

This one needs to get over herself :rolleyes:

signostic

Her favorite word is I`d say is "discrimination"

Call me Al

Well I do think it is discrimination, but she is a bit naive (and akin to a 1st year law debating society member) if she thinks accusing the majority of tyranny is going to down well with the listeners. It's not Saudi!

This fellow is doing a splendid job and giving Pat a real challenge down the dial. Sean is a great interviewer using a clear precise format to get the best out of interviewees.

The apology for running over the turkey farmer's dog was pure Partridge.

thesandeman

And the way his grandad used to train his dogs to avoid cars. And killing turkeys on radio sure beats Dinjoe.
I was only half awake. Had to check I hadn't been asleep for a day and a half and woken up for Callans Kicks.

im sure the loonies will be on complaining that rte are over reacting and cant say nasty things about the poor muslims. If people dont like the way we live or dress in this country let them go off to the paradise that is the middle east and enjoy life under the wonderful glorious sharia law
