I like Mick Clifford, I'll have to tune in tomorrow night to check out his presenting skills. Imagine if John Drennan hosted the show, now that really would be hilarious

I'd suggest a drinking game where, every time Drennan speaks in a metaphor or simile, we'd have to down a shot - but we'd probably all be dead of alcohol poisoning by the end of the night.

Are they doing a different present every night these days?

VB sends my blood pressure into orbit most of the time so I rarely watch, but if there's a lucky-dip of presenters I might have to start tuning in again. Thought Derbhail was great the other day, Justine not so much - far better in print than talking.

As much as Vinnie drives me nuts, I wish him well - did I see somewhere that he's been ill for a while?

Mick Clifford has become the new Mary O'Rourke - you can't turn on a current affairs programme without seeing or hearing him on it.

BUT the really corrupt people do not resign.

If there's a job going reading the news, Mary Carolan need not apply!

John Drennan is sporting 1970's fashion this evening!

At least Clifford has something meaningful to contribute and is always worth listening to.

Top journalist.

Drennan isn't bad either but gets a bit to smart aleky for his own good at times.
Tries too hard to be clever.

John always looks scruffy, in a "bold school boy" sort of way..the way he slouches at the desk...

And an added few pounds since I saw him last.

He could do with a little less butter on his spuds.

Down with that sort of thing......:(

That Liberty annoying "lets pretend" american voice is still around.....:mad:

Interesting segue there - A discussion on Seanie Fitz, followed by a discussion about being soft on crime......

When Defendants can sit in court and open snigger at the Judge who is summoning up and saying how "deprived" they are and giving them probation, that's when you despair of the court system.....

The Legal Aid system here is jobs for the boys.

There's no prison spaces to deal with criminals.
If one goes in another gets out.
Loads of crimes committed by people on bail.

Ah now GSW............An acquaintance of mine is a barrister and she says that about 75% of newly qualified barristers in the last five years are female.
Nothing wrong with that......it's just a fact.

Well, to make you happy Roger, I'll say it's a job for the lads and the lassies....:D;)

These ads completely ruin the flow of the show. We're never again going to have a situation where Vinnie corners a politician and makes them squirm for ages, because the ads will now come to their rescue

Apart from the fact they'll run to the hills before they'll come on anyway Harry..:(

I always got a bit of pleasure from the squirming I must admit....:o

Guilty pleasures....;)

John O'Keeffe reminds me of Hector Elizondo....

You're spot on there Harry! He's the image of him!

Eamon, obviously the aim should be to prevent further crime from happening?

tayto lover

65k a year to keep a lad in prison.
Who are the victims?

Harry Angstrom

If Joe Duffy was on the panel tonight, he'd be saying they're unwell.

Mick is climbing Mount Everest looking for sympathy tonight...
