oh ffs, this is a terrible lead in for the show tonight, I mean I know its terrible and we are facing into a lockdown until March at least, but Jaysus wept, why o why is the LLS leading in with this story immediately into the show.

Very sad indeed.

And Im very sorry for the death of this man.

The LLS team should be ashamed bringing this woman on tonight, he only passed last week.

Sorry this is totally un-ethical of RTE to invite this woman on so soon after her husband passed.

sudzs

Poor woman, shouldn't be doing this really.

And shame on Tubridy and RTE. :-(

My mum volunteered with nigel and had texted me to say he was Ill. Salt of the earth guy. She texted me earlier fo say someone else she knows just died after being admitted with covid. It's coming close to home. People need to take this seriously

sligojoek

"They'll mind you"

FintanMcluskey

This has to be too soon in the grieving process for this lady to be invited on to TV for an interview

I'll just leave this here.
This is from the rte website.

€495,000 per annum to send the viewing public in need of a reprieve from the relentless Covid narrative into a terminal depression.

I don't think that these people realise that they are being used by RTE to scare the nation.

God there is no reprieve from this ****ing shlt

Turned it off. When he started the waffle with all the "was fit and healthy, worked for this, loved to do that blah blah blah blah" I knew he was lining up for a misery segment.

RIP to the poor man and his family.

I remember Liveline before Christmas, self entitled arseholes ringing up complaining about the government suggesting nobody return to Ireland at Christmas, Joe siding with them, clown.

Did anyone who emailed rte last week get a response?

I have just emailed them there re tonight's show.

What were the emails about? Sorry I wasn't in the thread last week

Tubs is so fake

Death tends to be a long term thing.

We're getting the Covid lecture hammered into us. Callous b*stards using this poor woman as a vehicle for their finger wagging.

CH3OH

Terrible for this lady, but Tubs is going to go to the last breath with this.
Shocking television for a Friday night

I have retreated to safety. Himself is downstairs watching it because he's made of stronger stuff than I. I'm just going to Google kittehs and puppehs. And drink my wine.

Mena Mitty

Just noticed the poor woman has wedding rings around her neck.

sligojoek

The wwoman is in bits. No need for this at all. She's too raw.

Got a stroke, likely.

Doctors room ghost

Go on the owl.
Just tuned in and a woman crying and tubs drawing for more misery.

FintanMcluskey

I’m not going to pry

He always says that the bolix

Atlantic Dawn

<JD>What colour was the ventilator?</JD>

Glebee

Im out, poor woman. RIP.

sligojoek

"How are you still going?"

How is she even on this show?

FintanMcluskey

Finger wagging incoming

So her GP wrote to LLS to say she could go on.

irishproduce

This is actually fuçking disgraceful television for a Friday night.
What is going on that RTE feels this shít sells.

I've switched off a while anyway

Atlantic Dawn

Why will they not interview someone in the hospital at deaths door?
