Poor Christy had his demons, try to go easy on him.

Life has lot's of turns.

Heroin is a terrible scourge, isn't it.

It'd make you wonder how many Christy Dignams, Bonos, and other artists it's stolen away, whom we never knew about.

It's a plague. Hope Christy Dignam is doing well. I don't think he was on the radio this weekend, but he deserves praise, anyway. Seems like a nice, hard-working fella.

Bonos? I didn't think Bono himself had been affected by heroin addiction

The poster means the undiscovered talent who could have made it but never did due to heroin….if if I understand the lad correctly.

Good singer but absolutely Tiresome woman

Give her about a year and she'll probably be announcing her comeback. Brendan O'Connor is as bad for indulging her as Gay Byrne used to be.

It does come across a little bit like a publicity stunt. Am I imagining it, or did she not say during her previous Brendan O'Connor interview that there's a new record coming out?

Edit: Just as I was searching for that, I saw that she's now retracted the statement, says it was a knee-jerk reaction. In yesterday's interview she said it had been in the pipeline for months.

You wouldn't know what to believe when it comes to SO'C

Mad bat……. Shouldn’t be tolerated.

I do wish people would stop indulging this nonsense.

Took her less than a year, after all. Only took a day.

She's very unpredictable but ultimately doing no harm.

At least we know she's clearly not in the grip of some svengali like pr agency.

End of interview imminent.

I could put 20 Vincent mc morrows and more in a room together and they wouldn't come near to writing something that contained one tenth of the genius of anything from Vans pen, Brendan can make all the sarky comments he likes Vans genius will remain long after we're all gone... I care not one whit for Vans views on anything, a world of Vincent mc morrows and the likes with their magnolia music would be hell to me

I like Van but I can also recognise that McMorrow has some talent.

You don't have to dismiss one to praise the other.

Pelvis Parsley

C'mere, listen to me, it's only Vanilla Ice like.

thesandeman

If they edited out all the "like" from Vincent and the "y'know" from Vanilla the show would only need to be an hour long.

Pelvis Parsley

He's right about the lack of imagination these days-even though his biggest hit was a sample of Under Pressure.

elperello

Surprised to hear BO'C making a skit out of the Don Tidey kidnap.

I know he was young at the time but some of us know that Garda Sheehan and Private Kelly never came home.

I expect there will be an apology tomorrow.

Is that ingrid Miley on ?

Thought she retired a few days ago from RTÉ

Hard to disagree with any part of what the CEO of CityJet was saying. The vulnerable are vaccinated, there’ll be variant after variant after variant, enough is enough.

Something surreal about today's program - BOC ranting against Tony Houlihan and NPHET again ,

Ingrid Miley in shock at the closure of StoBert - an airline that had lost its contract with Aer Lingus , was sold to a company that had no finance and an airline whose business was reliant on business travellers between Donegal and Kerry !
Then we have the CEO of Cityjet lashing out at everyone, talking about 'travel apartheid' ,a CEO whose airline went into examinership owing 500 million ! (& he can't blame Covid)

Meantime in the real world the UK are about to defer 'freedom day ' and tighter travel restrictions are to be put in place between the UK and Ireland. ....
