    Always check under your bed before going to sleep, Denis could be there.

    I’m so worried.

    A bloody documentary celebrating this corrupt greedy tax dodging parasitic fatcat basically encapsulates what I hate most about RTE, and this country as well.

    While ordinary people had their lives ruined he used backroom dealings to amass obscene wealth, tried to fleece every family in with his water meters, moved his residence ton Malta.

    He's not someone Irish people should be celebrating. And I don't want his big fat boulder of a head being beamed into my home, ever.

    The Don got very few breaks from the US government, he mostly got sued by them with his real estate empire.

    So there is where your TV licence is going. On a denis o Brien **** fest..

    i went to their twitter to see if they had any posts about it but all you can see there is rainbows painted over everything, the pride thing is great and all but sheesh they didn't go this mental for the freaking Easter Rising Centennial. they just want to make sure the LGBTQ community keeps paying their fees.

    RTE is just so cringey with everything they do. whoever produces that stupid show they put on after the world cup with the fellas in wigs should be shot into the sun.

    DOB's biggest fan it seems is Bill Clinton, he's in the ad as well being interviewed about fathead Denny singing his praises. Another straight shooter who never deceived anyone or abused his position. Sickening that RTE would make such a program.

    Pisstake.. a documentary about a bully boy corrupt buisness man who has ill gotten gains through a corrupted awarding process that amounted to bribery.

    And then you have that even bigger joke of man Lowry singing his praises on this documentary.. who remarkably still has a job despite aiding and abetting Dodgy Denis. Will these chancers and charlatans ever F off?


    I suppose we'll be treated to a documentary about that twat , crooked Bertie in the not too distant future.. isn't our public service broadcaster brillant.. these people have cost us millions.

    Denis and rte went a few rounds a while back, so people are only assuming that this is going to be a jizz fest Denis worship. Something tells me it could be far from a glory show **** fest.

    FGs owner must be one of the most hated men in Ireland all the same.

    King Jong Un is more in touch with the common people of North Korea than the top brass at RTE are with the Irish public.

    I saw the trailer.. the fact they actually went to Lowry for his opinion on DOB already renders it farcical imo.

    Yep and Usain Bolt who used to run track with the lump. Haha not really, he is sponsored by Digicel...

    Funny story about DOB.. he was suspended from school when he was 17 for nicking his mum's Renault and driving it onto the cricket field biut was allowed back due to his sporting prowess to participat in a rugby championship.. so he's always been part of the old boys club.

    Wonder what DOB's doing now, probably making paper aeroplanes out of €100 notes or something, can't think of a bigger waste of money than these tosspots having colossal amounts of the stuff that they couldn't spend in 20 lifetimes, wouldn't it be better employed elsewhere?

    Just let them have £10m or so, even £50m, confiscate the rest for useful societal purposes and they can still live like kings.

    Reminder this is on tonight at 2135 on RTE 1. Should be good, I'm sure DOB's lawyers will be on overtime, refreshing social media every second to make sure DOB's good name is not tarnished! Here's Bolt describing the great man in detail- http://www.thejournal.ie/usain-bolt-denis-obrien-2958875-Sep2016/
    The fastest man ever timed is now a lifetime Digicel ambassador and will be the chief speed officer. When asked what this means, he said, “It gets things done and gets things done fast and precise.”
    Oh my!

    Our completely unbiased, politically neutral and hugely open-minded state broadcaster strikes again.

    We really are getting great value from the licence fee. Sure it should be €500 a year.

    There must be some dreadful scandal coming up shortly

    The boss would have not ordered this propaganda piece otherwise

    A corrupt Tax criminal and an ex president pervert vouching for him on the promo

    Please take a step back and think about this

    It's frightening

    Yeh, who the fck would want the Belgrade Bomber having their back?

    You’d wanna be desperate to have him or Lowly* vouching for you.

    I don’t get this.

    Prime time has constantly exposed corrupt politicians, homelessness etc.

    They always give the government a hard time.

    Conspiracy theory nonsense.

    I met him once during the dot bomb days when he pumped a lot of money into the startup I was working for. Seemed decent enough at the time. He was rather she, but was very encouraging and complimentary to us young techies. I came away with a positive vibe about him. But boy, did he take a tank on that investment.
