Well voters of Ireland.... with limited resources do we:

- Fund the post offices
- Fund the health services

The POs are making big news this morning, not this poor woman.

In case those who didn't hear the show wonder what the last few comments are about, Brian O'Connell had a slot this morning about CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services) and the story of one particular woman who has a child with ADHD.

Absolutely riveting radio.

This is King Canute stuff ... most people working today are paid directly to their bank acc & when they retire they are not going to suddenly revert to the PO & cash. Nor are we going to revert to writing letters!

IMO this "rural Ireland" rep would be better employed putting his energies into getting the services, like proper broadband & transport, that people actually need and want not engaging in this nostalgia for a time long gone.

For example my local "rural Ireland" town today has 7 coffee shops, 10 years ago it had none but it probably had 20 pubs! Adapt or die simple as.

I was looking at the Radio 1 listings, this week has Today with Miriam O'Callaghan, next week it's back to Today with Sean O'Rourke. Hopefully he'll be back and we'll be saved from Miriam's sighing and patronising tone...

The post offices are toast and the sooner we face up to that fact the better.

Most new houses in my home area not even built in the town. Every field for miles nearly has a house in it.

9 weeks off, not bad if you can get it.

Yep, works out at about 30,000 per working month - not bad if you can get it is right.

And before people say it, not a patch on what Marian Finucane is getting per broadcasting hour.

Just heard ad for tomorrow’s Sunday Indo-I think that they said that Sean is going to be talking about rediscovering what’s important during his Summer break

Not one for expressing a personal opinion that lad, sticks rigidly to the department script.

Interesting interview with the Duke of Cork earlier, looks like Leo will remain in situ for the foreseeable.

Just before the RTE news at One today, there was a promo for "Today with Miriam" even though Sean is back.

Heard Michael Martin coming on switched over to Woman's Hour on Radio 4 where there were two women roaring at each other about Brexit. Quite amusing.

Switched back only to hear that Paschal Donoghue was on.

Changed back to Radio 4 again!

It came on during his show as well. He had a bit of a laugh at that.

I had no interest in those two spoofers and their oul guff - I would have changed over to Pat Kenny but I wasn't sure if he was back yet, and I don't care much for Jonathon Healy.

Micheál Martin and Paschal Donoghue - I thought that was obvious from my post?

I wouldn’t have thought so S.

But ,dude, maybe it’s just me.

I don’t think so, but.

Mannix Flynn on giving about "a massive self-promoter".

Post-ironic times indeed.

That was a genuine LOL moment alright.

I doubt Mannix will get the irony.
