Did you have a handle on the programme? But don't let that stop you, dig away, your stick work is awkward.

Your protestations are feeble, old man.

You may be right Dan, that I am old and I may be feeble, but you don't really know. What I will share with you though, is that I do like quality radio programs and am quite happy to state that.

It is a pity though to find that many posts here, not too unlike your own, offer various forms of sarcasm - pertaining as wit - to outright personal attacks on MF and or the programs guests.

For my part, I won't be intimidated off from my views and would be happy to see more positive contributions about the MF programme - even old, feeble comments will do.

It is silly of these guys saying "the staff at the lower levels should get an increase first". Every time you increase the guys at the bottom it pulls them closer to the people on the grade or payscale directly above them, so the people at that scale are then "entitled" to a pay increase as well. And work that system all the way to the top. So to suggest that the lower paid can get a increase can be given in isolation without other consequences, is naive.

Maybe it's the argument of 'raising all boats' and that needs to be from bottom up...or are you suggesting top down?

Is the argument not usually made that if we had not been part of Europe, then we would not have access to all the cheap money (and thus the bubble could not have been so big) and also if we had not been part of Europe then we could possibly have burned the bondholders (but the EU wouldn't let us, as they were the ones who whose banks were the bondholders)?

The IRISH Ambasador to Slovenia sends in a message to a magazine show on the national broadcaster saying all the ambassadors and embassies are working hard ?!!!........, D'Unbelievables couldnt have written the script for this show .

Chilling account of the mind of drug dealers...

Oops69 · 05-02-2017 01:20PM

so nothing new learned from that interview , he couldn't say anything beacause everything is ' sub- judice ' , waste of time .

Oops69 · 05-02-2017 01:32PM

These areas aren't 'communidies ' as these workers keep going on about , they might have been up until the mid 1980'S , Now they are drug- ridden ' neighbourhoods' as in American cities , these activists need to deal with the reality.

RTE still persisting with having rugby on The Marion Finucane Show. WHY? A whole afternoon of a sports show, surely the place for such talk. Instead of Marion pretending to know and pretending to care about it.

"Oh dont say that to me Eddie". As if the game actually meant something to her. Does she really think people believe this BS?

The thread had nearly died except for that post you know , this show is at the end of a road , zero credibility anymore .

Ah I miss the days when coming back from my walk I'd be rivetted to an interview & reluctant to take off the headphones in case I missed something between taking them off & turning on the house radio .... them was the day - it has to be said, so to speak!

..... nowadays the only one that has me sitting in the car in the driveway is Matt Cooper on The Last Word.

It's been years since she did an Informed grilling of someone , the only grilling that goes on nowadays is when Nevan does one of his flying visits from Chaavan ,so it is.

Did ye hear that everybody. Marion is delighted with the rugby result. It put a big smile on her face when she picked up the newspaper there and first saw what the result was.

padd b1975 · 12-02-2017 12:14PM

Justine Mccarthy has been to the Terry Prone school of diction.

Oops, Marion just let slip that McCabe us suing RTE.

I can't take Justine McCarthy seriously since I read a post here that described her as "the most pious woman in Ireland"

PeterTheNinth · 12-02-2017 12:35PM

I heard them saying on the other channel earlier that "the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results". Surely based on this definition, making Noreen O'Sullivan the Commissioner of the Gardaí was insanity. She sat there beside the previous Commissioner as he called the whistleblowers disgusting. Did people honestly think that she was promoted because she kept disagreeing with Martin Callinan?

Paul Reynolds is very quiet on all this. He musybe on holidays.

So HP leaving is now blamed on Trump, as opposed to Ireland short term approach to FDI. Good man Barry.

I just turned off the radio to watch The Week in Politics. I wonder will Aine remind Alan Kelly that he was in government when all this as going on.

Harry Angstrom · 12-02-2017 01:09PM

They're criticising Trump for his plan to slash corporate tax rates to incentivise companies to redirect their operations to the U.S. - something the Irish government have been doing for years in this country :rolleyes:
