Awkward for RTE

It's his own fault that he is not relevant. Especially when it is bound to be a 'Saturday Night with Miriam' type show.

At least one of them will be live and believable…
The other will be staged and very well rehearsed.

+1 to whoever that guy is

Could they not have put the soap on RTE 2?

So the Sap gets dropped for the Soap!

They obviously thought more people would be interested in watching 'Don't tell the Bride' than Edna answering a load of pre-arranged and soft questions.

I wonder if he'll be asked about getting recalled to the Fennelly Commission because the statements he gave first time round didn't check out...

It should have gone ahead regardless. If people don't watch, then so what?
Oh yea! Ads! RTE needs it's viewing figures. You can't even watch the RTE player anymore with adblock installed.
Public service broadcaster my hoop.

Watching that clip of Enda, just made me realise how much of brainless clown the idiot really is.

Referring to the elected leader of the nation as a girl's name. How juvenile.

Rubbish to postpone PrimeTime because of ........a soap. Enda's expected appearance on PrimTime is just an aside IMO.

Cookie_Monster

It not like he'll say anything worthwhile anyway, just the usual bluff and bluster non answers.
He shouldn't be given any TV time for that, unless he's prepared to give actual committed answers it's a waste of everyone's time.

The Red C opinion poll this weekend will be a genuine eye-opener for many of the outraged. It seems that a large segment of the voting populace think FG have done a very decent job. The fastest growing economy in Europe, record levels of people getting back into work, maintained core social welfare rates. Kenny will go down in the history books as one of the finest Taoisigh, Ireland has had. From an economic and social perspective.

It's known as political satire. Its been around for a few centuries.

That's really bizarre. I wish I could hear everything before the cronies start jeering. Not his best PR moment anyway.

So about as old as the joke in question then?

It's not really political satire either. It's just a poor joke, just like most of these things (halfrauds , $ky etc) , the person in question just happens to be in Politics. Good political satire is usually, well, good.

What soap are we talking about? I presume it's EastEnders.

Yes, prisoners in the Joy are being forced to watch it I hear to improve behaviour. Highly effective so far apparently.

In fairness when they took over the place was in a depression and i havent seen any progressive moves by FG other than to cut services and up taxes..the economy couldnt go any lower so of course it had to grow.

They claim credit for any job created when its happening in spite of them..im surprised we dont get richard bruton rushing down with the press wehen his local shop takes on a paper boy at this stage "we did that"..

More or less juvenile than constantly typing smug replies about being in Germany, working in finance, (from a bedsit in Galway)?

Wouldn't happen to be in receipt of tonight's euromillions there horse?

If the Millward Brown poll is anything to go by, your optimistic predictions could be short lived.

So why is he such a recluse? His answers last night were all coached and learned off. That might inspire you but I feel we would be better served by a leader with more backbone and charisma.

_Kaiser_

I can answer that - Gotta love YouTube and how it recommends other similar videos.. another classic example of Enda's inability to relate to people...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkHMAr3ICqc

Highlight...

Man: "1958 i was forced out of this country"
Enda: "Good"

Almost as bad as his performance in Galway above

Baggy Trousers

Enda has been in the Dáil for over 3 decades. When that homeless guy died nearby, he hit the streets and portrayed shock at the amount of people sleeping rough. I found that incredibly patronising. Had he failed to notice these people during his previous 30+ years in Dublin??
