    I wonder will the gaurds name who rang the papers to say Claire Daly was breathalised ever come out? Doubtful.
    Nothing has changed under FG they are just as bad as the last crowd. Different cheek of the same arse.

    There's a case to sometimes let people go but when you have Gardaí letting off their mates, neighbours, famous people you can see where it all goes wrong.

    But it would define someone needing to believe in a God therefore excluding a large amount of people. Your word should be your bond without the need for any piece of paper to put your hand on.

    Presumably atheists and non-Christians would make an affirmation?

    I know but it's the same in a courtroom as part of the legal process. Maybe Garda recruits that are non believers can opt to affirm instead of swearing.

    Was there some reason this interview couldn't be live?........

    I'd say that since this man is one of the whistleblowers they were dreading to do it live, in case somebody's name came out on live tv before they could stop it. Post-Pantigate RTE policy.

    Probably so that RTE couldn't be sued if it all went pear shaped and someones said something they shouldn't. The RTE legal eagles probably vetted the interview before they let it go on air.

    Legal Minefield. Huge potential to defame the ex commissioner, Minster for Justice, other Gardaí and others.

    A good decision to let the lawyers look at it first.

    What's the point in that?

    It makes the interview a bit lame thought, doesn't it??......

    He really shouldn't be on if he can't talk freely?

    I'm not sure this is his time.

    He will be on when he does the book let's face it?

    It's a sort of career suicide the man did in order to stand up for his beliefs, fair play.

    The point is so that RTE don't have to pay out bazillions in damages, if yer man says something for which RTE could later be sued.

    I think it's worthwhile. He is a good speaker (if Tubs would let him talk). i haven't seen anything edited out so far, but it was prudent to pre-record it.

    I wonder will The Irish Independant go into why their editor in chief got his penalty points wiped? Id say loads of journalists have got their points sorted.

    Exactly.

    I get the point.

    So what is the point of the interview if nothing can be learned?...

    I'd really like to see him properly interviewed, i.e. not by Tubridy.

    Given the amount of non work related access to celebrity records on the Pulse system, I dont think any of the guards are mature enough to be allowed to use it...

    Because he is still very well worth listening too. Just because he hasn't said something controversial or worthy of a law suit, it doesn't mean that people don't still want to know what he has to say, or explain why he has chosen to do what he did. I know I do.


    Hafta say Ryan is coming across as a bit frosty. Does anyone else think that? I think it is odd, considering how brave this man has been and, how so many people would have a lot of time for him and for what he is trying to do. Wonder if Tubs was "leaned on" to go in a particular direction with the interview?
