Jesus that law guy is a terrible lick ... a whole new level of smarmy. I'm off for a walk couldn't listen to any more of this

I hate it when people use every opportunity to plug their company, or their book. He must have mentioned the name of the law firm twenty times in a short enough slot. Then, the next woman on, kept going, "and in my book, I say ...."

Gah! It's so annoying and off putting.

She's on a lot more than €200k per annum and should have been shown the door years ago along with Duffy, Darcy and many others but it's RTE, home of nepotism and Shinners.

Those are 2016 salaries.... has she dropped 50k?

Maybe you are correct.

Must have been all those funny dog videos that sent her over the edge.

It seems like the only purpose of the Marion Finucane show these days is to fill the Irish people's minds with their Anti Brexit propoganda. The first time that RTE has cared about the North since Bloody Sunday.

I missed the bit with the Jihadi, I'm guessing they all thought that she should be welcomed home with open arms? Was anybody brave enough to go against the consensus?

Has she stopped her trump bashing then?

Never heard such crap.

Nepotism I'll give you - but where are you getting Shinners from?

Radicalised by Facebook? No. Radicalised on Facebook? Possibly - but she would have to have been leaning that direction anyway.

Callan57

My God I'm gobsmacked by the dignity, understanding & the sheer Christianity displayed by that Bloody Sunday relative. Amazing man.

Technocentral

Who is this woman on now? Her idea of what is discrimination based on class is hilarious, youd think she was raised in a tenement!

Dear God, that thing with Marion reading out the lyrics with the deliberately altered punctuation is painful. I mean all you have to do is put the lyrics in Google with whatever punctuation you like and it will find the song for you.

Why don't they just record a less obvious section of the songs (without lyrics) and play them out, then ask for the song names. Marion could got out and have a fag or get some cough syrup while they are doing this, so it's a win/win situation.

Is there a premium on entering? If so it wouldn't be in their interest to make the Qs difficult.

Preview of next programme - someone is going to stop Brexit with telepathy and Cormac Ó hEadhra asks Marion who it is...."some nutter" she says and bingo, it is Uri Geller. First time I've agreed with Mammy in a long time.

Marian currently making a fool of herself showing her thick as pig sh1t ignorance

Storm 10

No mention of the disgraceful salary she is on for 4 hours work and she is off in the Summer, and Christmas. Now her salary needs looking into

Callan57

This happy-clappy discussion on refugees & immigration is disingenuous in the extreme.
That guy talking about all the European cities where it's all multicultural nirvana totally ignores the fact that most, if not all, of those cities have huge no-go areas of deprivation & violence mainly housing immigrants.

I notice it every week on her show. They outdo themselves to give the “right” trendy opinion.

Terrified they’ll be blacklisted unless they give the establishment line.

David Mc Williams was insufferable today , still giving lectures on a synopsis of whatever popular economics book he has been reading .

In fairness to her, she was the first big name in RTE to volunteer to take a pay reduction after the crash. Others had to be bullied and shamed into it but she was the first to volunteer. Many of the other big names blame her for starting the wage reduction that they all did eventually.

I remember McWilliams warning how immigration disproportionately affects lower income families by driving down wages and putting pressure on local services.

This morning he is saying we need to be preparing for a population made up of 25% foreign born nationals.

He was also quoting Bernia Sanders economic policies and referred to Democrat congress member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as AOC. Who in Ireland knows who AOC is unless they have taken a big interest in American politics?

Alex Oxlade Chamberlain plays for Liverpool, he's just recovered from injury, can't wait for him to start lashing them in again.

Anyone with half an eye on the mid-term results should know who AOC is. Youngest ever elected, ousted a long-term encumbent, relentlessly trolled by Fox news.
A bit more coverage of the likes of Saunders, AOC and Warren - democrats not in thrall to Wall St - would be welcome instead of the persistent coverage of every tweet from Trump.

Lads apologies for this and nothing personal but.......

Let’s nip this in the bud RIGHT NOW.

It’s Bernie Sanders........S A N D E R S.

His name is going to come up a lot, so please, pretty please, with sugar on, let’s get it right .

Let’s not go down the Saunya O’ Sullivan road pleaseeeeee.

Raunt over

I wouldn't have had Delaney down as part of Marian's "dinner and fags" clique but she came out some scutter in bland defense of Delaney.

She thought it was a great idea to pop us in the hat as an extra team? John delivered the Aviva stadium in rude financial health? And her remarks were allowed to go unquestioned?

She explains her high salary away because she does endless hours of research during the week. Yep. Sure thing.

Just the "Golden Circle" - what would you expect? Has she had her old buddy Seanie Fitzpatrick on recently to begin the rehab process or Bertie - if not it's only a matter of time.
