All in the same breath as her mockingly laughing at Peter Casey's pronunciation of the word "romany".

The woman is utterly unaware of her own ineptitude.

...........and all that goooood stuff!!

Traveller spokesman says the majority of people dont support Casey

and then the texts are read out :pac:

Chemical Ali came to mind..... lol. :pac:

Bring back George, he doesn't fall for the Twitter bait like the good doctor does. The show researchers must have been delighted to see PMs tweet as they probably had nothing else to talk about.

Heard some of this earlier. Very interesting her response when she offered "my opinion". She came out with this absolute waffle similar to Rodney King's "Can we just all get along". Seems to me that Ciara didn't really want to give her honest opinion.

It's the duplicitous nature of all the reporting on this that really gets me. Even the reporter that interviewed Peter Casey refused to answer the question "Would you be happy if there was a halting site on your street?". He swiftly squirmed out of the question without giving any response. And let's be frank, everybody in the media is exactly the same. NONE of them would be prepared to have a halting site on their street, but NONE of them wishes to suffer the possibly career ending damage that admitting this would inflict.

Never believe these presenters, they are all dishonest.

You’re actually just one breath away from saying ‘the Fake News Media’ here.

I've stopped listening to this awful airy fairy 2hour muck fest for the last while. I've moved the dial and rarely does the dial go back, Im sure moncrieff is not impressed that people tune out and possibly not back in cause of her. Her show is too lite and no bite. As soon as her her what's coming up I'm gone.

I'm not sure how I stand on it. Sometimes I find it OK & then you have horrible shows like last week where women don't have to be careful, men just have to stop raping.

I will say despite the fact that most posters don't like her at all she is doing as good or slightly better than Hook in the same slot. She must be doing something right

Ciara's off today so her stand-in (Ciaran something) has upped the PC standard and is going big on the story of the Chinese kid in bray who's threatened with deportation because his mother came here illegally in 2009.

According to Ciaran the Citizenship referendum was a farce and a disgrace and should never have been passed (80% voted in favour by the way). There was no anchor baby issue, alright there was 1 or 2 cases he reckoned, but it was just a populist move that needs to be reversed.

meeeeh · 18-10-2018 12:30PM

Oh that's outrageous!!!

Such disdain for a referendum result. He's gone into full on ranting now. Time to turn off.

BIGT4464 · 18-10-2018 12:39PM

Sanctimonious Kieran Cuddihy has gone too far this rant.

jay0109 · 18-10-2018 12:40PM

That was some rant. There's a well paying job in the NGO sector waiting for him when he gets fed up of the crappy wages Dinny is paying

bloodless_coup · 18-10-2018 12:41PM

He's a private citizen with private views, spouting them on national airwaves.

It's his job, is he violating the law in some way by expressing his view?

bloodless_coup · 18-10-2018 12:43PM

The real problem in this case was she wasn't deported sooner. Problem solved

Tell me how · 18-10-2018 12:48PM

Now. That's a rant!

I wonder will people remember it when they are complaining about Ciara expressing her opinion.

SEPT 23 1989 · 18-10-2018 01:29PM

I thought the doctor was bad this chap is such an ignorant pup

meeeeh · 18-10-2018 01:38PM

This is pure gold... I can imagine people frothing at their mouth listening to the radio.

Would love to know text count today versus average.

Whose views should he be spouting?
I really doubt you'd be here complaining if he was putting forward your view on this matter.

It's Lunchtime Live, a radio chat show, not the Supreme Court. The presenters have opinions (shocker: all presenters have opinions) and I don't see an issue with them airing those opinions.

He's absolutely right. Most people who voted in favour of a constitutional amendment in 2004 appeared to have no idea as to what they were voting on. Ireland was already entitled to deport citizen children and their parents, as had been affirmed by the CJEU on numerous occasions. it made little to no difference to anyone -- if anything, the only families it affected were high-income immigrant families, an absolutely tiny minority of immigrants.

The referendum was populist, divisive, and unnecessary.

It was absolutely not unnecessary.

We were the only state that had a "citizenship by birth" clause and the referendum just brought us in line with the rest of Europe.

It was absolutely necessary or we would have had a slew of anchor births in the mean time, which we haven't had thankfully

Ah the classic liberal. You couldn't make it up.

I bet 'most people' in your opinion voted the right way in the Marriage and abortion referendums!

sligojoek · 18-10-2018 08:45PM

I voted in favour of that referendum in spite of my hatred of Michael McDowell who proposed it. In 2002 my son was born prematurely and had to be brought to the Coombe from Sligo in the middle of the night. When we got here the next day he had been put in some kind of storeroom that wasn't fit for mop buckets. . The ward next door was full of babies of mothers from other countries who'd flown in in recent days . (The nurses told me). Any time I went out for a fag I was in the company of pregnant women who hadn't a word of english and hadn't a clue where they were.

jay0109 · 18-10-2018 08:53PM

How quickly people forget sligojoek.

If you mentioned the stories about ambulances at Dublin airport meeting flights coming from London/Paris/Amsterdam to immediately ferry pregnant women (Nigerians mostly) straight to a maternity hospital, you'd be called all sorts of names by the liberals. But that was happening at the time

So, at least 5 women a day were flying in just to have Irish babies. And they all ended up in same hospital.

I seriously doubt it. CSO statistics don't back it up.

On the "hadn't a word of English".
That's Dublin for you. Hey ohhhh.

They just about knew how ask for a cigarette. That was it.

meeeeh · 18-10-2018 10:16PM

So according to people here you were invaded by Nigerians who didn't speak a word of English. I have no idea if that was true or not, I didn't even live in Ireland then but I wish to point out that official language in Nigeria is English.
