I like Seamus O Rourke whatever anyone thinks. I love that one "Radio Eireann were playing our song"

He is one of my go to anchors in this Covid 19 sea.

I enjoy him as well. I went to see two of his plays about 10 years ago. Very funny from start to finish?

Ah I remember it well how on the occasion of Cosgraves death O Rourke drew down Cosgraves remark "water is too good for them" on the hunger strikers Gaughan and Stagg. How they laughed, he and his panelists as if twas the funniest thing ever said

For terrorist scum?

Meh...

Different times. You can meh all you like Stagg and Gaughan never hid their beliefs. Cosgrave and Cooney on the other hand were snivelling little s**ts who turned a blind eye to murders on the border with the collusion of crown forces. They even managed to lose the files on the Dublin/monaghan bombings and the murder of the miami showband on their watch. Two great mayo men who came to the aid of the catholics who were discriminated against and burned out of their homes in the early 70s an btw they'd have been a long time waiting, a very long time waiting for some of the crew from down here to come to their aid far easier to mumble terrorist from their armchairs. Like I said different times but then again you couldn't know

Young Master Brophy didn't exactly cover himself in glory either.

Don't recall a TD ever being threatened with having his mic turned off.
FG had the same tactic pre the election...interrupt, heckle and interrupt some more. Disrupt the critical question...then you don't have to answer it. We are returning to FG normal.

Is he on every week? He seems to be the most frequent blueshirt they have on.

Yet all over these threads you are venting your political opinions even currently. One rule for Brendi....etc etc.
I thought the posters clarification was worthwhile and needed to be said. Unless you are prposing that only opinions you agree with are allowed?

Lookit Francie are you cocooned out of a bit of sense ?

I thought the adjoinder was not needed... the auld “crown forces” crap and going back to Cosgrave and Cooney bull.

Just using the thread to bull out the auld rhetoric when there are plenty of threads to batter on about ‘crown forces’ ‘quislings’ ‘traitors’ ‘ sleeveens’ ‘colluding with crown forces‘. and many many more.

Just trying to kill the weeds before they choke the kip, Francie

Takin one for the team here, putting the head above the parapet....

What the harm there......

Bur you only attacked the one poster Brendi...had you attacked the poster who chimed in with what I suspect is your own view, you might have the proverbial leg to stand on. Tis resoundingly hollow thon peg though!

Francie, you have a point but I didn’t want to put a match to that kind of stuff here .

The lad I criticized, for me ,went in over the top with the auld terminology which could lead to the auld crap one sees on NI forums from both sides.

It boils my piss Francie, so with your permission to avoid forking up this forum, I will leave at that.

Hope you understand.

Nothing personal.

As I said Brendi...practice what you preach...keep your political opinions to thine self on the radio forum and you'll be able to stand proudly on thon peg!

Take it handy.

I read that somewhere, too (probably on boards.ie!) and I’m looking forward to seeing how she does. She’s bright, well informed and I think she’ll do ok.

Certainly not Mick Barry ( nationalism everything) stock.

Gabriel McAluff the Governor of the Irish Central Bank just on the show from Greece where he is "visiting" his family for the last few months.

Sweet Jesus the lad was amming and hmming his way through the interview giving the most basic of answers to complicated questions. He sounds like lad who just watched an Introduction to Economocs video on YouTube and is struggling to recall the details. No new policies to help guide us through the crisis. No innovative thinking to help avoid a crushing economic depression. He seems a total chancer. It's no wonder New Zealand were delighted to see the back of him.

We're screwed. It's the Second Great Depression for sure.

Liam Herrick of the Irish Council for Criminal Liberties on the show now defending people's rights to refuse to fill in a required Covid Health Information form on entering the Country.

It's the Muppet show today.

Topgear on Dave

It will be totally ridiculous to stamp out covid during the lockdown and then to import it again through the airport.

Sean just confirmed that Sarah is taking over the show from Monday.

She's not getting the job permanently though.

Well, not necessarily, I presume she can apply with everyone else!

I was really worried to learn that our new Central Bank governor Gabriel Makhlouf is running the operation from a bolthole in Greece. His answers to SORs questions were very basic and predictable. A thoroughly unconvincing performance.
