Can anyone tell me why this woman is on the tv. In her own words.

With her fellow TV3 classmates she comes up bottom of the class, with an A for moving her head so much its hard not to be but in pressed by her stylish hair, yes indeed this woman deserves an F minus, because liz mcmanus has never heard of an NG.

I concur,her sense of humour and style of reporting has a certain thing about it I dont like.Maybe its smugness in the way that she seems to like to have her own unique style by having a big intro to her report,using graphics,or whatever but she does kind of rile me.

Is she the one who does all the Dail reports? The annoying one who climbs up Bertie's backside in every second report (I'm sure she'd do the same with any other tea-shock)?

I'm sure she's a very nice woman but damn! she's the most annoying person on Irish TV. The reason I won't watch TV3 news (with apologies to the two presenters I went to school/college with).

No way -

She's a legend! I have to laugh at the 'head on her' every time I catch her on the news. She's gas!
Every now and then she chases politicans down the street pestering them with annoying questions... she doesnt take no for an answer...

Is she the "posh" sounding one? Late 30s/early 40s?-ish!

Mike.

She's the one with the healthy head of red hair that cant keep her haid still. Late 30s early 40s would be about right and yeah, I guess she does have a posh sound to her......

Didnt she win best reporting journalist or something at the Irish Journalists Awards this year?

Yes something like that. ESB award maybe. But why? They have better reporters on TV3 news dont they?

Sorry for bring this thread back for may of 2003.

But since she has a new show I thought it would be best.

So did anyone see it.

Was it any good.

Yes I did, No it wasnt, It is a poor replacement for Agenda IMO

Elmo · 04-10-2004 12:48pm

It wasn't too bad. It was ok. She wasn't as annoying as she is on the News.

father_ted9t9 · 05-10-2004 3:15pm

It wasnt too bad, different to the usual Prime time type of programme, but good laugh! Its good to see something different and i wish her all the best in the future with it.. Shes a legend and the whole gov know about it! Like the time when Mary Harney asked her to run for the PDS and when Labour asked if she would become their Press Officer. One of the Best reporters on tv3 and always gets her man/Woman!!

Watched it again on Sunday 10.10.04

MMMM

Her interview with Micheal Smith (????) EX Minister for Defence.

I got to see most of that and her one and only question seemed to be.

Do you think (Like the rest of the Irish People) that Bertie Ahern is a fool, who has hurt many of his FF Team? Come on spill the Dirt, we all know that You hate Bertie Ahearn. And how does Jim McDaid feel after the Euro elections, does he think that Bertie is a bastard?

I mean all she wanted to know was weather or not everyone in FF feels that Bertie is a Bastard.

Perhaps there was more to that interview, but I gave up after that.
