I think Niamh Lyons is overstating the significance of the cancellation for "real" people.

Where is this figure of €50m loss to rhe economy coming from for the concerts? Most of the money, ( €32m ), is a direct transfer of money from the pockets of Irish people into the pockets of Garth Brooks and the promoters. This is money that would be otherwise be spent in the Irish economy. The rest is money being spent in Dublin that would otherwise be spent elsewhere in Ireland. There is NO net loss to the economy!

Morto for Ming

In fairness to Fine Gael, they didn't spend most of the last few decades in opposition by being populist.

This was the same party who criticised successive Fianna Fáil governments for not increasing public spending during the so-called boom. Fine Gael were well able to play to the gallery whilst in opposition.

Please dont tell me I've been saying it wrong all these years? (all these years being as long as I have been reading boards)

It's all a load of hyperbolics.

To solve this whole problem, we should build a massive 400,000 seater stadium in the middle of nowhere and call it the "Hyperbole" (pronounced Hyper-Bowl).

I'm confused.

Is it Ay-vril or Ah-vril.

Edit: I think it's actually Averdil

Ssshhhh! You'll upset Christy Burke with that sort of talk. Christy thinks that Garret Brukes will single-handedly deliver us from the recession and lead us to the land of milk and honey

We would need a 4,000,000 seater stadium to accommodate all the hyperbolics in this country!:rolleyes:

I like Journal.ie girl. She seems sound.

Jaysus that was nearly as bad as the Argentina Netherlands match.

It's a pity that Vinnie isn't around for the Garth Brooks debacle. I'm sure he'd be absolutely bewildered about the whole thing

Averil should appeal for Fionnan to be reinstated on the show.
5 nights or nothing.

Love him or Hate him but the show has been a dull effort without Fionnán.

I think he's very good. Surprised at Vincent being so petty :mad:

It was an ad hominem attack on Vinnie's part. Totally unwarranted. Vinnie might have a justifiable beef with Independent Newspapers but Fionnan Sheahan shouldn't have got caught in the crossfire.

Have I just belatedly discovered TV3's World Cup panel ?

Sounds like Roisin is angling to get back into the Labour Party.........but not until after the next election, of course.
