Totally agree,

Did anyone keep a count of how many times he said as i said in the book 🤔.

Anyone who thinks that a politician isn't in it for themselves, and then can't handle the criticism, is deluded,

Self promotion as he said in the book ,😁

He wanted top jobs as he said in the book 🤔with out any criticism

Holly is not doing well here. She doesnt know her figures and seems to be struggling giving where the income is going to come from to do what they want.

I think Hollies baby is due towards the end of November. Thats what she should be focused on not talking election bullshit.

She started saying she's sick of spin and promises and lies and then, starts spinning promises 🤔

I don't think holly was expecting to be

asked any difficult questions,

I didn't think she was a credible candidate before and definitely don't now,

Claire Byrne is useless at moderating. Politicos shouting and interrupting each other

Ossian Smith’s answer to lack of public transport is to work from home, how does a construction worker work from home?

Green gobshite!

Joan Collins. I can't imagine a government run agency doing everything g cheaper and more efficiently.

they really do think the coffers are bottomless.

Claire used to work for UK Channel 5 News! I did not know that

richard boyd barrett is a hard listen

I think RBB is sincere and he's right in some ways - there's too much focus on kowtowing to business etc - but some of his talk and pronouncements sound like stuff you'd read in a Junior Cert business studies textbook.

Holly is a classic chancer.

Pearse Doherty is a total waste of space. If he dropped the angry interrupting man act and focused on specifics he might be more effective.

What are you listening to? How many times has he asked Chambers to stop interrupting now?

Arghus

Chambers coming across as a bully on the radio IMO. So condescending to Pearce Doherty. Thought he came across as very unlikable.

Not capable. A spoofer like Mary Lou

He's a lightweight, consistently put to the sword in one to one's with other parties finance spokespeople. All he did was snipe in that debate. Came off by far the worst.

Will these politicians ever understand that shouting over each other is an own goal? It's a massive turn off to most listeners. I had to switch off. Just couldn't listen to them.

It's two days before the election. Of course politicians are going to get passionate and shouty during a campaign. I've never understood the disapproval of shouting. I understood perfectly well what each person was saying. Paul Murphy wants corporation tax to rise.

The only people it suits are the already converted of each party - what's the point of that? It's the undecided they should target, and that's not the way

Peter Dragon

Not the CB show per se but she’s hosting election coverage now on Radio 1. A short while ago Philip Boucher Hayes was on discussing Dublin Central early results…….absolutely disgraceful descriptors used to cover Gerry Hutch’s performance. PBH and RTÉ showing their true colours and usual bias once again, immediately followed by a contributor talking about the real Simon Harris and how sincere he really is and how honourable it was that he apologised to the carer in Cork and how it was a mark of how great he is as a human. Vomit-inducing stuff.

I would imagine you know as well as I do how seriously that would be taken.

I wonder would Caire be hosting election coverage on a Saturday morning after her weeks work, before the RTE payment's, bailout,scandals etc

Peter Dragon

Jesus Boucher-Hayes again with an absolutely disgusting commentary on Dublin Central. He described Hutch’s performance as “a heist”, described Hutch with words such as “gangland” and “mafia”, described the other candidates as “the posse chasing him” and more. I’m not a Hutch supporter btw and I don’t live in the consistency but no candidate deserves to be treated as Hutch is being treated by RTÉ. Boucher-Hayes also confidently predicted Hutch would “get zero votes” on the earlier check-in Cabra/Phibsborough etc., no admission he got it badly wrong on that front of course.

As if RTÉ have any right to describe anyone and their financial affairs like this. The irony and double standards are truly breathtaking.

is RTÈ infested with Boucher Hayes’s?

It's all hands on deck for RTE today.

They have a reporter in every count centre.

I saw John Bowman contributing on TV earlier and heard his son Abie on the radio.
