Could you perhaps tell us what one or two of these 'important items' might be?

there are plenty- what about the 1%?- never ever discussed-are you okay with it?-should we pass on these value to our kids? -given that most wars are over land or resources should we look forward to another major world war in the next 25 years-come on there are bucketloads of topics

Dear Jesus is there a show keelin shanley CAN'T kill ?

Only reason I'm still listening is because pats talkin about a road in galway that no one wants except the council ( n they won't go on his show )

Callan57

I find her veeerrryyy irritating as a host - she interrupts guests a lot, but equally doesn't seem to be able to steer/direct interviews. She also (seems to me at least) to be driving an agenda, which I think is a no-no when working on RTÉ (right?)

Realise agenda is a bit harsh, what I mean is what she actually thinks comes through quite a bit - which is refreshing I suppose, but she can't be outwardly supporting her position either, which makes for annoying radio...

sorry is this the FIRST Time someone in the media has said education on a subject is a waste of time ?

FFS.

Im off, i wouldnt be as circumspect as yourself dulpit. i DO think she's has an agenda and and ya can hear it writ loud here now on the subject of alcohol consumption with a lad from diagio. ya'd swear he was part of the empire or something the way she's going on

fupped if im supporting this hatcht job so its off to pat for me.

Thought she landed a few punches but didn't follow up enough for me. For instance, she asked yer man how would he define moderate drinking. He went back to people falling around drunk. She mentioned that he didn't answer the question but didn't pursue him on it.

In fairness she did get him a nice one on Arthur's Day - if ever an event was designed to promote out of control drinking, that was it.

I couldn't reach the radio in time as I was being swallowed up by the gloom.

I have some sympathy for him. He was completely out of his league as were the whole Green Party. They went from worrying about how best to prevent greenfly eating their beetroots to worrying about complex financial interdependencies between bankers who were blatantly lying to them. And, worse still, everyone else in the room had pretty much agreed what was going to happen in advance via the old boys network. It was men against boys in that coalition.

Do you wanna take the phone off speaker, Ferghal?

If he wasnt prepared to put in the effort of lifting the receiver, then RTE shouldnt have bothered calling him..

Mary Hannifin on talking about why Fianna Fail are not making progress in the polls. Well Mary that might be the fact that too many of the toxic Ahern/Cowen frontbench are still the public face of the party. Martin, O'Dea, O'Cuiv and Hannifin need to shuffle off to the backbenches and leave new faces give it a go.

Hanafin & Collins in denial

sickening to hear this woman back on again... She is getting 140k a year for her part in voting through all of Bertie's policies... Absolutely sickening how she is trying to distance herself from any involvement..

Quite possibly true, but perhaps then they should have realised they'd made a big mistake and pulled out of government early?

The unfortunate thing is she will probably be elected.

You can add tom Mc ellistrim to that list of Fianna fail failures coming back out of the shadows again!

Surely not, unless she changes constituency. You'd think that any anti government party vote in Dunlaoighre will go more towards independents and maybe water charges people, maybe SF in the more deprived parts.

Injecting vodka ? Explains a lot of what he came out with during the Gareth Brukes fiasco.

Noel Whelan is the only expert they could get to give opinion on British Politics?

Can a producer not tell Michael to step out of the wind!!

It's true what they say though.. Ed Miliband does look like Wallace, I think it's the eyes and the vacant stare..
