sure during a game last season they had to catch one that was on the pitch

One thing I've noticed with nature this year is way more flies and insects on the open roads that get wiped out by the car, had been in decline recently.

Wan not happy with local development.

Was at the Aviva on Friday and they were everywhere

4 Days. It took me 5 days of complaining to get a dead badger removed.

RTE management said before an Oireachtas hearing last month they “didn’t know” how many of Noel Kelly’s clients were currently working there. The powers that be are as accommodating as ever.

Katie asking if foxes are becoming scarce

Well one fox is

The one who got dropped pretty quickly by Joe and his funny Friday

sligeach

Franky "There's 200,000 foxes in Ireland. There's nothing to back that up."

Katie: "I don't know where that stat came from."

Does that include the likes of Syl Fox?

I wonder if Dee will be well enough to be able to attend joes leaving do.

The way Joe's attendance is lately, he might not turn up himself

There was a feature on the price of lamb running up to Easter Sunday on some show (I can’t exactly recall which so apologies on that front) where a butcher said sales were way down due to the price increases.

Dublin Calling

Is Gray/Grey an official nickname for Raymond? I am sure the lad he is talking to called him Gray at the start of the interview.

Would have thought this would be prime LL material

I think we also need a public holiday in honour of the lad who hijacked the Aer Lingus plane and demanded to be told the third secret of Fatima.

What about the First Class Holy Relic found by the lads of Vincents, across the road from Joe's favourite graveyard? A Joe topic, if ever there was Joe topic.

It took me 5 minutes to get my shovel, pick it up and throw it over the ditch 50m down the road last time one died on the road by my house.

It was a heavy fecker alright.

Joseph Duffy Day would be appropriate, of course

sligeach

Joe has missed 10 weeks since the beginning of the year, including this week. 1 week off in January and February, then 2 weeks off in the other 4 months. Provided Joe does the remaining 2 weeks in June, he'll have "worked" 15 weeks. That's some cushy "job". I can't think of another job that would allow this much time off.

Black are the days Joe has turned up. Red is his last day.

thesandeman

The only person who's worked less than Joe is the lad who pops in to ring the Angelus twice a day.

BO'C is doing his best to catch up though and Oliver has been taking a couple of breakeens recently as well.

There's probably some behind the scenes agreement that they can work less hours to compensate them for the cap on their fees.

you are safe enough till September. There never seems to be any protesting this time of the year for some reason

Expunge

how is Joe off so much while still contracted to work?

He's not (or shouldn't be) entitled to work out annual leave as a contractor. What's going on?

Health related I wonder?

2smiggy

It seems to me there may have been a bit of a falling out. I have no idea if he gets paid or not for his holidays being a 'contractor' (thou a permanent one…), but knowing RTE he probably does.

Still I would have thought he would have used his last few weeks on air, rather than taking time off.

Still, all just guess work really !

Either a falling out, or a health issue

Dublin Calling

Joe appeared to be on holidays the first two weeks after announcing his retirement. I got the impression from what he said and social posts that he spent a week at his Continental residence and another week at his Country residence. In saying that, he looked unwell on the LateLate.

Another possibility is that Joe is off for 'Editorial Reasons'.

Louise Duffy now taking Liveline matters into her own hands.

is this tabloid crap the direction Liveline will be taking in the future under the current (and probable future) host?

if that's the case RTE should just bin it

The opportunity is there to turn it into. an actual caller-driven consumer show but, of course, RTE have neither the imagination nor the balls to go this direction
