That IMO is what Liveline should be for. I thought the two women who were victims of child abuse themselves made for powerful voices, saying "why not ask us? listen to us" (and mercifully not being prodded for the gory details / reduced to tears). PBH was the perfect host on the day.

And we kind of do have a pm: from the constitution - "The head of the Government, or Prime Minister, shall be called, and is in this Constitution referred to as, the Taoiseach. ... The Tiste shall act for all purposes in the place of the Taoiseach if the Taoiseach should die, or become permanently incapacitated, until a new Taoiseach shall have been appointed. The Tiste shall also act for or in the place of the Taoiseach during the temporary absence of the Taoiseach."

There was one of Philip in the early noughties where his voice sounded completely different than it is now. They must be putting him through a synthesizer these to make his voice sound deeper more boring

I think he's just bored stupid and/or mortified with the usual Lahvline fare that he winds up with, but when he got a subject that was a step above singing priests / Mary's cat in Clontaaaarf / tales of Aunt Agatha's cancer, he proved himself willing and more than able.

He probably only realised when he got to the top that it wasn’t a public appearance with a fee attached and now he had to endure the great unwashed without a foyve figure cheque-een at the end of it and not even a place set aside to sell de bikes either.
