Nothing will be done for months if there's an election, not that they do much anyway. I suppose it would give the public an opportunity to throw a few of them out of their cushy seats

Distinct note of relief in Sean's voice there as he announces the 11 o'clock news!

Think so, he's obviously flustered! Called him John as well I think

Sean showed colours in his interview with James Delingpole. When Delingpole claimed that the establishment liberal media ( he included RTE) had a hissy fit over Trump and Brexit Sean went on to prove the point by constant interruption and by not letting his guest speak. Am I surprised. Bet he wouldn't have treated Sheik Halawa that way.

RTE and the Irish media were more upset then the American news stations that Trump got in, sure they still bleat on about him everyday looking for some angle of attack

Who will front the Sinn Fein election campaign? And what face on their election posters? Did they think further than the next newsbite?

Callan57 · 28-11-2017 01:44PM

Surely someone needs to take a very serious look at the operation of the Dept of Justice - it's beginning to look like a state within a state

constitutionus · 28-11-2017 03:10PM

He doth protest too much. Comes across as a blowhard and a bully.

Brendan Bendar · 12-12-2017 10:38AM

I find it very hard to hold any sympathy for O’Gorman on anything.

Comes across as an extremely unlikable person.

Sean O'Rourke should have made more of an effort to stop his aggressive rants. It was meant to be a debate. I would say he was allowed to talk down the clock for 90% of the time.

elperello · 12-12-2017 10:49AM

As a neutral I thought neither of the two gentlemen carried themselves very well in the "debate".

Unfortunately O’Gorman got poor Sean on the back foot by disparaging his introductory speech.

It was like puncturing two large windbags when Sean pulled the plug on the ‘debate’.

Not nice people.

tayto lover · 12-12-2017 11:26AM

I would have liked to have heard a proper debate.
I don't like Quinn but wanted to hear him. O'Gorman's way of debating is to shout over and interrupt everyone.
SOR did a very poor job of chairing it.

neris · 12-12-2017 12:11PM

i dont like ogorman or quinn and this morning sounded like 2 kids squabbling and shouting in class as the teacher tried to find out facts but couldnt get a word in edgeways.

Quinn & Co usual "style" is to shout down, speak over people & constantly interrupt so maybe O'Gorman decided to play him at his own game so to speak! :rolleyes:

So nobody heard anything except shouting?? Not the way to debate.
There were no winners because we didn't get to hear any facts.

Would love to hear Ronan Mullen & Colm O'Gorman have a debate live on radio. Two of the most vitriolic pig-headed personalities I can think of. Maybe have John McGuirk on as well.

Eh………nooo thanks.

During the TV review John Boland had the temerity to criticise Nathan Carter's generic voice. He was soon put in his place. He must have forgotten he was on RTE where NC is the current flavour of the year.

Funny how the removal of the apostrophe makes him seem like a comic book character. "I am OGORMAN!!"

Can't stand the guy myself, personally I consider him to be the worst kind of opportunist and intolerant individual. Everyone who disagrees with him is not just holding a bad opinion, they are a bad person in his eyes too.

Amnesty Ireland used (at least it seemed to me) to be an organisation attempting to stick up for human rights in a general sense. It seems more recently they are less about that and more a leftist mouthpiece purely on the feminist issue of the day and pro-Islam issues (to the extreme end of the scales).

Amnesty should drop this guy, he's toxic. He, like a few others, e.g. Katherine Zappone, seem to be given a free pass from certain sections of the media purely because he was one of the central players of the gay marriage referendum.

BarryD2 · 14-12-2017 11:41AM

Declan O'Rourke may make up grand songs but wonder what school he went to if he was oblivious to the famine? Until his 'Road to Damascus' moment. Maybe he didn't pay much attention in school but I seem to recall that the famine was one of the subjects, along with 1916, most covered.

As for comparing the wretched condition of the poor in the 1840s to the conditions of the modern day 'homeless' in hotel rooms and direct provision, that's just plain and utter hyperbole. Very poor from S'OR.

Amnesty International used to be a fine and worthy (in the good sense) organisation. It has now been infected by the virus of PC and anti Western relativism. It should have remembered it's original credo and have been neutral about politics. Sadly this is no more. It has now just become another leftist/ liberal propaganda outlet. It has very strongly taken a side. It wasn't meant to be like that.

Not sure of the timeframe but he did spend a lot of his early life in Australia
