    I asked. NUIG issued a payment of €150 to a Joe Duffy for attendance.

    I've long suspected that he's so tight he'd make a Cavan Man look generous, thanks for confirming my suspicion.

    He'd have been selling his flippin' buke at the "event":rolleyes:, he'd have written the mileage and expenses for the event off the paltry tax he pays, he already has pocketed the profits from the buke (which he's happy to allow people to assume those same profits are going to charity) and now I learn he actually had the gall to charge for this exercise in self-publicity. The man has no shame.

    He's a great man for encouraging others to give their money to various causes but I can imagine him being pretty slow when it comes to dipping into his own wallet. We can add miserly to all of his other "wonderful, fantastic" traits so to speak.

    Just listening to the podcast liveline for this afternoon... as little sympathy as I have for this Chinese woman, I do think Joe is using her broken English against her a bit which doesn't lead to a fair debate.

    He gave out to her for preying on the vulnerable whilst ignoring his repeated and consistent own behaviour regarding vulnerable callers.

    He could barely contain his contempt at her for using logos implying approval by certain bodies, yet has no problem implying the proceeds of his buke were going to charity.

    He was being very smart with her pointing out the spelling mistakes on the leaflet, conveniently ignoring his own frequent misuse of words and phrases, malapropisms and occasional inventing of new words and phrases. Given the evidence we have of his limited intellectual capacity re. the spoken word and his mathematical ability (:rolleyes:), I would find it astonishing if his spelling and command of the written word are even of average adult levels. Yet, he spent a large part of the segment sneering at a woman for whom English was not her native tongue and her ability to speak a second language. He is an incredibly ignorant and arrogant man. Regardless of the subject matter, he behaved like the bully he is today - again.

    While I frankly couldn't feel sorry for her, picking on someone who's English is clearly very bad and using her mistakes as a smoking gun is such a low brow debate tactic. It's on par with grammar Nazism via online debates.

    Your a bad man Joe

    ....*you're lololol

    But on those in the ref u jee centres a few weeks ago he is PC central accommodating every possible mistake in the language, he would never run the same Dublin Airport immigration line of questioning he ran with that Chinese businesswoman from todays show.

    I'm all for grammar Nazism on the written form, I'd stand behind a 4th Reich if grammar and spelling was the foundation on which it was based.

    I sure did. I wonder how many jobs Bearded Jack and his ilk has cost in the private sector?

    As we know from Joe, jobs = families.

    can't see a mention of him anywhere & no red velour waist-coated pics in the indo either. They must have saw it for the money grabbing scheme that it was

    Is he the one that is terrible trying to string a sentence together?

    One of those bearded ones was on with SOR about a month back and I ended up shouting at the radio as for every 1 real word he said, he would say 'Ah' or 'Em' 7 or 8 times..

    It was like listening to someone with a bad stammer.

    ARE YISSER ALL MAD AND DAT?


    Children of the Rising

    Joe Duffy


    National Book Tokens Non-Fiction Book of the Year – Winner



    childrenofrising-wpcf_237x300.jpg
    The first ever account of the young lives violently lost during the week of the 1916 Rising: long-forgotten and never commemorated, until now. Drawing on extensive original research, along with interviews with relatives, Joe Duffy creates a compelling picture of these forty lives, and of the cut and thrust of city life between the two canals a century ago.






    De buke was published last year and dat (to get the Christmas market and dat) so was in last year's list so to speak, and it was Buke A De Year and dat as well so to speak.

    WILL YE PAY ATTENTION YE BAD, BAD, BAD, BAD BASTARDS.

    WTF, it was from last year? He's doing a fantastic job at pimping it all the same, you'd swear it was only recently released. Time flies when you're having fun.

    Yes! I can't recall when it was published but you'd have to imagine it would have to be out a few months before the awards themselves to even qualify for them, but he was plugging it from about the middle of the year 2015 2-15 onwards. The timing was not coincidental as he'd have gotten last Christmas out of it (wrapped up as we were in the joy of celebrating the centenary), Easter this year and another Christmas sales period this year at the tail end of 2016 2-16. It's not many books with a year named in the title that will get two Christmas sales periods, but clever Joe spotted this lucrative opportunity......or rather his publishers did.
