There's no doubt about it, Christine has had two son's to be very very proud of, although I worry it may be too soon for them to be on the LLS, it's lovely to hear their side to her bravery. I wish them the very best.

I wonder if they contacted the LLS or were contacted by the LLS to appear tonight?

I just cannot understand why they are on a day after her funeral.

Welsh Megaman · 15-03-2014 12:02am

I'd like to think that despite the begrudgery, kneemos is watching the LLS tonight!

I thought it was a bit much having these guys on so soon. NO disrespect to the two of them, who are handling this with quite extraordinary grace and dignity, but there is something very cynical about the fact that, presumably, someone from the LLS team effectively jumped on the phone as soon as the poor woman passed, in an attempt to secure their appearance.

Such a great woman,loving kind Mother,they are entitled to speak about and be as proud of her as they want. At least they deserve the respect and the right to honour her memory,as they wish, when they wish.

It was like war crimes that went on with children in this country, with full support from the state.

And now the weekly segment that brings back memories of the sad times in my life..this week its the memory of my own mother dying of cancer.
For gods sake - are the researchers outside the room of the dying woman nabbing the family for the programme in case they make other plans for a Friday night

RTE are gone worse than the tabloids, doorstepping the parents of dead children.

It's a good, and indeed rythmic question Skid.

I was talking to someone about karma earlier.

Either we were all pr*cks, or there's some goooood times ahead!

the institution they are talking to now RTE,knew about the abuse suffered by their mother and thousands of others at the time and did nothing to expose it

Oh god i am not the better of hearing that about the little baby

stretchdoe · 15-03-2014 12:06am

In fairness, this story has huge social relevance.

She was an absolute hero; had incredible guts and doggedness.

She was probably the most important person in this country in terms of breaking open the story of the abuse that went on in this country and she refused to cowed into silence.

Well, there were nasty cobwebs on the ceiling, and I didn't have a broom handy...when our eyes met across the room...

Skid X · 15-03-2014 12:06am

I'm fairly sure Christine Buckley never appeared on the LLS in her lifetime.

Its strange, she would have been a great guest. Maybe they were afraid she would cause legal problems by saying things about the religious orders.

Edit: I got that wrong, she was on in 1992. Sorry about that.

So glad to see a thread on this. Late late show has been seriously deteriorating into a predictable yawn fest for ages now.
I reckon people don't want to go on the show because tubridy is so anal and controlling.
He is not good with vulnerability and regularly misses and dismisses key moments in interviews.
It seems the more interesting the guest the more rigid he becomes, anyone remember the Mia Farrow visit? Disaster!
It seems he's just settled into sticking to what he's most comfortable doing, interviewing victims and other uptight people he can banter with.
He also regularly asks guests to do the same party trick he saw them do on Graham Norton or J Ross, and relies far too much on footage clips.
Just not working hard enough in my opinion.

Very well said. I can't quite decide if he just doesn't have the personality to do the job well, or if he couldn't be bothered educating himself better on his guests (as opposed to just reading things off a cue card) so that he could empathize with them more, and make the interviews better for the viewer.

I have a feeling it is the former. I have a hard time believing that the higher ups in in RTE over the past 3 years, have all thought that he does a great job every night. Has no one really seen fit to take him in hand and, make him put in the effort to make the show better? I just know that that what I see on my telly box is terrible.

Fair play to these two lads. They are a credit to their mother. I can't imagine being able to hold it together enough to go on national TV the week that my mother died.

If anyone wants to cheer themselves up there's a film about a child kidnapping on TG4 at 11:35.

Being honest chief, you didn't actually say one way or another if Juan is handsome or not.

Be happy with your soccer skills, and be thankful you're not Wayne Rooney.

true but the majority of the general population ignored ( and by default supported ) what was going on as well , families bunged their pregnant daughters into these places in order to preserve respectability

And the worst of it is that the overwhelming majority of the perpetrators got away scot free as they had died before anything was done about remedying this horror.

For a split second I though he was going to say Louis Walsh was in the audience! :eek:

This is true, it's just the pattern that's there on the show of every week something desperate being on, but you're right...beautiful woman and lovely sons
