    Noel Whelan's eyebrows deserve their own award.

    There wasn't much canvassing in rural Ireland.

    Does he dye his eyebrows?

    Different colour to the rest of his hair.

    Adi & Marty are 2 great people. Their work in trying to carry on to remember Hugh even though when that time is really really tough.

    Fair play to them. Best of luck to them for the future.

    No offense but they haven't changed the world, I wouldn't go and kiss a man in Qatar, Saudi Arabia or most middle eastern countries and say look Ireland changed the world.

    And that is true.

    Basically it all happened in Ranelagh, and some bits of Cork, or so they tell me.

    Wow, he can run up a field with an inflated piece of leather faster than other men can run up a field with an inflated piece of leather. What a hero.

    In Kilkenny, it was the by-election, we were delighted to see the back of big Phil.

    Most of these players will end up with brain related diseases.

    Paulie, a great man and human being.
    So many could take example of being truly great.

    I asked that they be included in the santa strike force list of charities and now they are.

    Incredible what can be achieved by being just a member on boards sometimes. One small post might make a difference to a charity.

    Oh god, it had to be something about jogging didnt it. In Ray's eyes, unless you jog and eat porridge (with fruit bits in it) you shouldnt be getting an award for anything.

    FFS what that nurse did is amazing, that woman might be dead otherwise.

    I eat porridge with fruit before I ever heard Ray Darcy does, but I always find it hilarious when people pot about Ray and porridge, there was a classic last week about his ancestors guarding a porridge factory during the rising.

    Ray and porridge is an ongoing joke.

    Marvelous work in saving her life.

    They did great work in saving lives in the Med, but the question now is how many terrorists slipped through.

    And the more people they rescue, the more that will come. They essentially just become a cog in the wheel of the people trafficking machine.

    After Paris, they gave €3 billion to Turkey to keep them.

    On a side note are these awards taking place in RTE Donnybrook this year?

    Irish Times said "The ceremony was presented by Gráinne Seoige and reporter Aidan Power in the Radisson Blu St Helen’s Hotel in Dublin".

    I have to say it looked like a studio setting for the few mins that I saw of it.

    You'd have to wonder why Grainne is still around with only this, Crimecall and 2 All Ireland progs per year. Is she still an RTE employee or freelance ?

    If the latter, you'd wonder why she can't get more TV work at this stage or go back to TV3 news like Alan Cantwell did.

    Sporting achievements aside, I always thought he comes across as a little bit dim.
