To be fair, I believe the new plot in Lucan has toilet facilities

Having said that, I think Setanta would like to be building the gift shop before a jacks

43 minutes of this nonsense

Joe taking notes, potential nixer for him when he finishes up.

Caller: We do our own collection, we ask that people don't do their collection.

Why does that not surprise me?

Would keyrings and fridge magnets of Wolfe Tones grave be in bad taste 🤔

They would if they were made to look cheap and tacky, but some things are very tasteful like:

Joe keeps going on about toilet facilities

Joe would love a hotel on site so he wouldn't have to leave

zell12 · 07-04-2025 02:33PM

Joe's dream

LambshankRedemption · 07-04-2025 02:36PM

Callers today:

Eamon

Cearoon Ó Loon?

And now, Elmer.

All arguing with someone called Setanta.

Are we all sure this is not some kind of set up?

It is a free advertorial, product placement,…

LambshankRedemption · 07-04-2025 02:37PM

Elmer: I think it should be a charitable endeavour.

Grand so Elmer, you go and buy 28 acres and develop it as a free-in graveyard then.

sligeach · 07-04-2025 02:37PM

Elmer ~~Fudd~~ on the line.

You don't hear that name very often.

LambshankRedemption · 07-04-2025 02:41PM

This is turning surreal.

Arghus · 07-04-2025 02:42PM

If Setanta had paid the money to RTE he could have had a handy hour of advertising, like your man from the little museum of Dublin, and I'm sure Joe would be falling over himself to extoll the wonderful job they're doing to maintain an important part of Irish history.

I'm not convinced thats not exactly what happened.

We've had about 4 or 5 unlikeable callers who have said they definitely would not pay for a plot in the graveyard. That might be a dog whistle as it were for snobs like myself who don't want to be buried next to the likes of them.

zell12 · 07-04-2025 02:45PM

Joe is counting!

Atlantic Dawn · 07-04-2025 02:46PM

Probem is you don't know who you are buried near, nowadays can be loons who smash up each others graves or build monstrocities that block out the sun.

They should airport grade bag screening for when the annual mass is held.

mumo3 · 07-04-2025 02:49PM

looking at the figures he's quoting, how does one go about buying a graveyard (Asking for a friend of course)

Joe has been trying to nail him on something for the last hour. I don't think Setanta paid the fee, but, wisely, decided he'd take the free advertising anyway.

Says how useless Joe is that the best he's got is asking Setanta, repeatedly, whether they've got toilets or trying to get him to answer a question about who has bought individual plots, even though he knows he won't get an answer there.
