Andy Lee will be on to talk about growing up as part of traveller community and his Boxing career.

Mary Robinson will be on talk about climate change and what she sees in the future for Ireland.

David McWilliams will be tallking about his new book Renaissance Nation and the economy and all that.

Presidental candidate Peter Casey will discuss his campaign and losing in a landslide to Miggeldy.

Music comes from The Blizzards and Phil Coulter.

No doubt an ambush on Peter Casey. Can't have it seem that actually many people in the country agree with him !!

Is Mary Robinson selling something? Must be something in the appearance for her

James Brown

There's elements could make rise to a decent show, could have Casey on and Lee out after to join him...but likely it'll be Casey being asked about his roots and life in the states. Bland I tells ya.

If you want to see an ambush look up Gerry Adams on the LLS. Gay wouldn't sit with him and every guest, a panel no less, was laying into him.

No better man than Casey to handle an ambush, I doubt he's going in cold, likely he will have researched every single guest and Tubs weak points for ammo before the show starts.

That was a classic - Gerrys best performance.

Good to see Casey on.. He ain't going away.

Rock Lesnar

Casey should be well able for Tubridy, and if hes not, he should have a look at how Mick McCarthy handled his questioning

Try_harder

Looking forward to Andy Lee, well spoken and knowledgeable

Mary will be pushing her apocalypse nonsense and telling us the only answer is higher taxes, then she’ll get on her jet and go collect another award for virtue signaling. As for Casey it will be a highly aggressive interview, the racist bigoted labels will be thrown at him with Ryan in full sjw mode. Oh and expect pavee point be in the front row.

Roughly 20% of the less than half of the country who bothered to vote voted for him.

So, maybe 10% of the electorate.

Just pointing out the figures, is all.

I think over 50% voted for him in an After Hours poll.

The single best actual people vs internet people comparison I've ever seen.

She's there to tell him/us all what being a president really means.And the Andy Lee is there to be pointed at while being said "See! Not all travellers are bad"

Yup - a book out on Climate Justice : Hope, Resilience, and the Fight for a Sustainable Future

TheValeyard

Also, think Mary Robinson got appointed as chair of 'The Elders' this week. Some Human Rights group thing.

About 350,000 votes

I really, really hope he gets involved in the Peter Casey conversation.

It's not just Mary Robinson pushing this apocalypse nonsense - it's also the vast majority of the world's climate scientists. I mean, what would they know? To hell with their peer-reviewed nonsense - I once saw a video about this apocalypse nonsense on YouTube, and I can confirm that it's nonsense. Nonsense, that's what it is. Absolute nonsense.

What makes you say this?

I've only ever heard him speak on the presidential debates, he seemed every bit as prepared as the four other chancers, who between them had not one single worthwhile thing to say.

I see a big crowd and lots of hi vis vests in the thread tonight

Even less prepared than the other chancers. Until he struck gold with the anti-Traveller comments, he was winging it in every interview and debate - usually with a knowing grin on his face. He was on 1% for a very good reason. It's unlikely that he'll have done an ounce of homework tonight, but the easily-impressed will lap it up.

He's utterly ridiculous.

I never liked Mary Robinson.

I grew up with my sisters doing bad impressions of her "Mna na hÉireann" speech.

I was a perceptive child.

Andy Lee and Peter Casey

Just saying..

Aidric

Without reservation Andy Lee is a complete gentleman and role model. That said he is completely unrepresentative of the traveller community as a whole.

I'm no fan of Casey but I do appreciate the fact that he has brought this issue to the forefront. There have been many people and communities who have been blighted by traveller intimidation and criminality for decades and their concerns fell on deaf ears because public representatives needed to toe the safe line. They expressed their views in the ballot box and at the very least deserved to be involved in an adult discussion.

RTE have taken the soft focus option in order to placate the Casey voters. This will not advance the discussion unfortunately. If they were really serious about discussing this issue they would have facilitated an open discussion between traveller activists and community representatives who have been negatively impacted by travellers in their communities.

Compared to what beat him in the polls. He's clear from utterly riduculous. Believe me. At least he turned up for interviews . At least he's not hiding expenses. At least he has no problem travelling by car. At least he's truthful.

Poor mods.

When I heard Andy Lee was on the same night as Peter Casey, I felt this was gonna be an ambush. Andy Lee would not represent the "stereotypical Traveller" in his manner or in his behaviour. He's an absolute gent. If all Travellers were as respectful as Andy Lee, then there would not have been such huge support for Casey's comments. But they are not.

Maybe they should ask bleeding heart Mary Robinson about her interactions with the Travellers. Maybe they could ask her about the fact that a year after she had them up dancing with her in the Aras, her father objected to them getting houses up near him and her brother in Mayo.

What was the word that Peter Casey used - "disingenuous" ?
