I'd say Finucane hates him. His impressions of her are less than complimentary.

Can any impression of her be complimentary?

Basically its just wheezing, hacking, coughing and some throat clearing.

And how many things does Marion get wrong in her four hours of shows?? Even Callan was slagging her yesterday about the les affairs attitude that she has to the preparation of the show.

I'm curious about that as well. Did he not explicitly say that he was NOT interested in the job?

It really annoys me that this is this underlying tone about all of these cosy discussions that the election of Trump and the vote for BREXIT were the WRONG things to do. Both of these were voted through democratically by the two nations. What right do a lot of well heeled Irish commentators have to question the democratic right of other sovereign nations.

They have every right to discuss and question it.
Just like the boneheads have every right to choose or reject it.
It's getting boring now, though.
It's done, it's over, just get on with it and drive off that cliff.

But they were man

That's what "your betters " think.

Why do you think the brian Hayes of the world keep sneering at "populism" when democracy is all that is .

"the people" are a threat to him and his .

Many in politics think we should just Feck off once we elect them . If Brian Hayes is tellin me the banks are grand its time to buy a safe

That one with de tick dubelin accent , is she on because she has something of substance to say or as some kind of token to 'de wurrking' classes ?, the latter I think,I've no problem with an accent but if it's an accent spouting ignorance ,It's a different story.

Noddyholder · 19-02-2017 01:53PM

He promised the earth moon & stars, just like every politician everywhere, except Ireland of course.

Perhaps "someone" wants him in there as a vote splitter or just to muddy the waters .... or maybe it's just giving someone time to get their ducks in a row?

Oh, the same right as you have to complain about them Peter and you do so at about the same frequency. So I do understand your annoyance, because I feel the same way about your compulsion to document on here every slight to Donald that you hear on the Irish airwaves.

Oops, it's not quite as simple as that.

You use the forum to heap odium on the political scenario, just a straightforward attack .............

And you allow the post to go out with the wrong name.!!!

Posts like that have zero credibility and calling them out is neither petty or childish.

It encourages posters to be a little more careful and maybe will be taken seriously when they get their act together.

Whatever about missing an 'o' in a name being petty or childish , believing that Mr O' Donohoe , who barely retained his seat at the last election is a real contender for party leader or even Taoiseach is just simply foolish , dumb and naive , which of course your diversionary post is really about , and by the way who made you a moderator and I don't need to be 'encouraged ' to correct a post .

hah! Fair enough.

I'm just not prepared to let people on the radio tell me how I SHOULD think or define what is an "acceptable" opinion to hold.

Just because something was democratic- does not put it beyond valid discussion. Yes the election itself is to be respected -even though if in both cases there was some unchallenged lies ( Brexit: NHS 350MM) (Trump: He would make america great again)- the causes/course/consequences are surely to be monitored. Especially as in case of Trump if he engages in illegalities ( racist muslim travel ban) - or in case of Brits- threatening rights of EU citizens living in UK as a bargaining strategy. All these elements are to be carefully analysed and debated where necessary. Else we may as well go down the road of bread and circuses and trust that politicians always act in our best interest, which (as McCabe case here showed) cant always be counted on!

He'll be handing over the bowl of shamrock in a few weeks , stranger things have happened .

PeterTheNinth · 25-02-2017 12:28PM

Why doesn't Marion put a few of Oliver Callan's accusations to Healy-Rae?

(Tubridy is such a painful fop in this clip as usual.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRneCyXka4s

I believe everything Healy-Rae does is an act. everything he does is contrived to be populist and get votes.

Oops69 · 25-02-2017 12:29PM

RTE isn't having a problem accessing cash to pay your wages Marion, just selling off the family silver in montrose , she's very flippant about that, she's some brass neck.

PeterTheNinth · 25-02-2017 12:35PM

ffs, Put it to him directly. He's hiding behind emotive issues. Is he getting millions from the state for contracts or is he not?? If so, this IS a conflict of interest and it needs to be pointed out.

Finucanes's carefully 'researched 'ambush is falling a bit flat, and she's supposed to be a professional .

PeterTheNinth · 25-02-2017 12:42PM

Really poor from Marion. She obviously hadn't researched what Callan was saying, and did not have enough research to ask probing follow up questions. They should have got Callan in the studio to stand over his article.

It doesn't fit anyone's thinking or agenda. Generally when people say they are "for" trump it is code for "for" casual racism, anti state anti public policy or against progressivism.
