"Liveline. Driven by listeners and driven by advertising". Joe Duffy 2021.

He's trolling us.

Sometimes its appropriate to lay off the usual and repetitive topics.

Today's topic shouldn't be covered? Because you've had enough of it?
Well you clearly don't appreciate the gravity of the subject. Too busy listening to Joe instead of the callers.

It seems plenty of callers wish to participate and if it helps them deal with the torment they're welcome to a generous quantity of air time.

All you have to do is keep listening and you will change your mind. I suspect you wont though.

We will be here every day to help you shoulder de buuuuuurden if you do.

George Gibney story being covered by Darcy on Monday when he interviews Gary O'Toole. Could be back-to-back paedophile shows on RTE if Liveline goes for the hat-trick with Marmion.

I get what you're saying but 2 full days on what he did (repeatedly with incredibly probing from the host for exact details) while it's obvious it will never focus on how the perverted abuser got away with it and no member of the order responsible for a massive failure to protect young boys about to explain or offer their thoughts is really at minimum, one day of public serrvice broadcasting wasted.
Believe me, I'm not (and 99.9% of the thread isn't IMO) minimising the abuse but a therapy session with really obnoxious questioning, does not make good radio.

Let those who are going to sue the Jesuits go ahead.
Let those in turmoil seek professional help.
Making Duffy Circus out of this helps no one.
No matter how much they kick this guys coffin( so to speak )
won’t bring him back to answer for his crimes . We long since know how all this was facilitated.
Why doesn’t he get the woman on who filmed over 150 leaving that Dublin mosque. After all a dozen auld ones can’t attend mass with some zealous priest. I’d rather take my ( COVID ) chances with a few auld ones that hundreds of non compliant Muslims milling around Dublin.

Or the Davy problem, anything current that is actually relevant.

Has he mentioned the Eritrean smuggling ring being run by the IT taxi driver. Run from a mews in Foxrock no less. I’d love to hear the founder of I.C.I take on this.

Sadly the subject is only too familiar to some of us. A colleague later committed suicide after childhood rape.

Wall to wall Faaaader Marmion, caller; listen to a section and you've listened to all.

It has been covered numerous times before. We've had full weeks of this topic.

And I think you will find no-one disrespected the callers, just the incompetent host.

Yes brutal, certainly not worth any listen back whatsoever.

If you want to hear the voice of Father Marmion/Marmium/Marmy-on/Marium, then listen back. If not, don't.

Brendan Bendar

Struggled with ‘Marmion’ again...over emphasis on the ‘ion’ bit.

That’s the auld Doob for ya...cannot handle any kind of unusual name.

Congratulations guys. Over 40 years ago a young boy left a school because he was bullied. He phoned into a live radio show to discuss his experience in the hands of a gross pedophile.

Guess what happened 40 years later? Some cowards, some absolute dim-wits- but mostly, some bullies, successfully bullied this very person all over again.

Don't even think of defending the above posts- they're absolutely taking the piss out of that caller- they're not directed a Joe, the programme in general, the producers, or RTE- they're directed at that caller.

You're a pack of gutless useless idiots with the predatory instincts so similar to the bullying behaviours outlined in the last 2 days radio show.

Wave your ban hammer all you want Catmaniac- but it remains you're a disgrace to this forum. Your actions are indefensible .

Full weeks? 2-3 days more like.


Not a single comment expressing any concern or sympathy about the content or callers. But juvenile comments about the noises off.
The shortcomings of the host need to be overlooked on ocassion.

EDIT I didn't mention disrespect. But actually that word will do too.

Mod - Yes indeed, ban hammer has been employed in view of backseat moderation & abuse. 2 long duration forum bans have been applied.
