RTE 1: 'Today' with Claire Byrne

Topgear on Dave

Not listening at the minute. Was there a large religious festival in India 2 weeks ago? Has that anything to do with the number of cases?

As opposed to interviewing people with counter views, RTE tells you why they are wrong, and why you should get your news from RTE.

Ah c'mon, in fairness they did ask the opinion of a woman who's doing a master's, a master's in what we don't know, but still. She maintains conspiracy theories are developed by 'fellas' in darkened rooms....

Yes indeed Rte "where the truth matters" I wont be taking any advice on misinformation from the montrose set

There was a Hindu festival, 10 million converged into one smallish area I believe

I wonder will he end up in banking like the other two FGers that left recently. Though by the sounds of him he'll probably get a job with one of the NGOs.

I think he has something lined up in the NGO space, it was mentioned earlier on P Kenny.

Hard to know what to think of him, there seems genuine regrets but speaking objectively, he didn't do well in housing. I think rightly or wrongly he was seen as Leo's paper boy, he never really stood out on his own.

Darragh O Brien must be feeling quite sheepish right now.

Summary of Murphy's interview today:

"I made a mistake"
"That was an error of judgement"
"That was taken out of context"
"That was an error of judgement"
"I was kicking myself when I said that"

etc.

How on earth is he able to get gainful employment in the real world when , by his own admission, he's out of his depth?

It's not really fair that he's allowed to tip off his FG colleagues in advance of the by election.

Of course, but as a commentary on his performance in the role you couldn't get better

It was the definition of a cheap shot.

And there was a victim there which elevates the incident to a level far more important than political commentary.

Now if only we could get rid of MacSharry and O’Caoimh.... two ‘lifers’ whose negativity shines like a beacon from the Twelve Bens.

Problem is they wouldn’t get a job anywhere... only the Neanderthals in their area would accept their rhetoric.

From a bygone age.

Poor Holly doesn't really have a voice for radio, the laboured and excruciating D4 accent with a hint of Americanism is just awful

What's this obsession with what's going on with the DUP, who gives a S***

I hate all those highly intrusive background pc notification sounds that are all too frequently to be heard on these calls.
