Can't oblige you I'm afraid ... any mention of IONA & I'm out the door :eek:

Debates are the problem, it just descends into shouting matches/etc. I'd be happier with standalone interviews with people from each side to calmly and rationally set out their viewpoints and allow people to make up their minds based on those.

They still seem to have a few ‘pound’ to drink in the middle of the day, in fairness.

10.30 am the drink aisle is busier than the freshly baked bread aisle.

However in fairness there's nothing quiet like a couple of cuts of G.I. bread smothered in butter, a pair of sausages from the Deli and washed down with a nice cool can of Dutch Gold....for breakfast, followed by tea and a Maple pecan trellis around midday to set you up for the day's drinking :-)

Not a chance.

Shouty borefest with a repetition of the same entranched stances on both sides with a topic that gives little way to nuanced discussion.
The abortion debate on the radio makes EU treaty referendums feel like a weekend in Alton Towers.

It's a discussion that makes for long, boring and noisy radio.

And it’s only starting Humber, start subscribing to podcasts, that’s my antidote.

Agree there, gets to the point without the waffle.

Bit monotone to support a two hour show.One hour I could take.

Has he a bit of baggage out in Montrose , was Noel Curran his bro, former top dog out there.

Excellent performer though.

A very English sounding Sinn Feinn senator, use the brits when it suits them

This one on now talking about her anorexia has the most annoyingly insufferable voice ever.

She's doing the Los Angeles-by-way-of-D4 raised inflection at the end of every sentence and you can tell she absolutely loves talking about herself.

This guy on about learning is great at stating the obvious - wonder does he get paid well for it?

he works in UCD of course he does. These academics are great lads, they can tell us everything in life theyve researched is great but in reality and everyday life its not as easy as their papers

do you have to be miserable, grumpy and constantly negative to be in the people before profit socialist party?

Brid Smith trying to claim that teachers are paying €3,000 PCM rent in Dublin.

A massive exaggeration that wasn't even commented on by the rest of the panel.

That's the beauty of being permanently ensconced on the opposition benches, running with the hares and hunting with the hounds.

Although with them hovering around the 2% mark in the polls, we should see their representation significantly diminished next time out.
It can't come soon enough for me.

Garda Ian Abbey revealed that the penthouse music teacher Daudet shared with his husband and occasional Airbnb guests was rented at €3,000 a month.

Oh sorry, I didn't realise penthouses were the first port of call for recently graduated teachers.

Silly me.

Seem so. That sort of constant negativity would suck the life out of you and do your head in. Best avoided.

No but you'll feel much more at home there if you are especially if you have perfected the "slapped arse" face

This is one of the other sides of the social housing story. Is it any wonder that LAs are eventually happy to sell on their properties to tenants, when some people treat social housing stock like this.

Fake news.
Local Authority using one guy's sad story to excuse their inadequacies.
RTE journalism fail.
