A lot of that around.

I agree. His figure on the expenditure for the National Children's Hospital project was way off (like, billions). If it had been a carefully orchestrated attack, activists would have given him a script with the true figures.

The people work on the other end of the phone aren't complete eejits. Obviously they'll ask for your full name, in interviews like this, and attempt to verify who you are visa social media. I'd be shocked if they weren't doing that.

Scumbags.

Fiance in court for possession of a tazer and she brings one to court in her handbag.

Very useful interview with SOR on mental health on right now, with mother who lost their daughter to suicide.
Interviewee, Grainne Gawford very good in the circumstances!

Just ended.

"We asked for a spokesperson from RTE but none was available" flol

Let them sell off the "family silver" if they want. Sure are'nt Sotheby's the apt dealers for this stuff?

buried · 15-10-2019 09:59AM

Sell the 'gold' instead. Tubridy, Duffy or yer wan on Saturday mornings that sounds like the human manifestation of phlegm

15-10-2019 10:01AM

Only somebody like SOR would read out a comment like that before the news. These fellas would ignore it.

Humphreys very upbeat about 800 people losing their jobs. There must be an election in the pipeline.

Hope they're not thinking of relying on Minister Humphreys to sort it out. One of the less effective ministers I think, appointed more on the basis of geography than ability?

BarryD2 · 23-10-2019 09:52AM

The Greens still banging on about sharing cars in rural areas? You'd think that they'd have figured out that this wasn't one of their most sensible suggestions to date?

Too much green juice has leaked into the brains of Greens . Proof that Green can be overdone .

SoR challenged for his snide remark. Proper order.

Will FG bring up the chance Bailey, they will in their hole

Odyssey 2005 · 23-10-2019 10:18AM

Just like “Calamity Coughlan” during the demise of one of the biggest employer’s in north county dublin, SR Technics. Totally out of her depth!

Colm Brophy, iirc. Just proved the point the FF TD was making....arrogance runs deep in FG.... whoever coached him must have had a conniption when he make his Trumpian remark......

A fairly rational suggestion when compared to the desire of some in the party to reintroduce wolves.

To be fair you make it sound like it'd be people buying a car and sharing it with neighbours, whereas he was referring to the likes of gocar,which is something I'm sure there could be a market for...

Boil water notice in South Sligo/Roscommon for years and not a word on RTE about it.

You get the feeling that they don't particularly like her style of broadcasting. She's just rude and doesn't let them answer a single question without interrupting.

Callan57 · 25-10-2019 09:31AM

Boris Johnston wants a general election totally focused on Brexit but didn't they already have that in 2017 ... the election in which Theres May lost her majority & was left depending on the DUP !!!!!!!!!!!

Heh he heh.... just heard a gem from a lad on S’OR

“This is good news...people are talking....people are listening...”

Foohherking right says I “ But who the fuhherke is DOING”

Lady in an adjacent motor is looking a bit worried at me. !!

I only heard a tiny bit of the very end of Sean O'Rourke, but I heard a bit more of Pat Kenny with his "Friday Forum" - and he was at least as bad - at one stage he practically got into a shouting match with Kate O'Connell, neither would give in and let the other speak.

PK is really terrible for that IMO, he's a complete bombast a lot of the time - Sean not nearly so bad, Sarah I haven't heard enough of to have an opinion.

But it seems to be the trend these days.

There is a case for this, though. Most politicians nowadays have been coached by PR clinics to keep talking through any questions and to get their own talking points out. If you never interrupt them, they may never answer the question that they've been asked.

Now, if radio hosts are doing this with non-politicians, that would be a problem.

dulpit · 25-10-2019 04:02PM

To be fair, the only bit of show I heard (I usually catch up on podcast) was with the FF lad talking about "buttongate" (I think it was Darragh O'Brien) and he was constantly ignoring the question being asked, so she was well in her rights to talk over him to ensure he didn't waffle on..

BarryD2 · 29-10-2019 10:50AM

Good old battle between the Law Society and the Insurer Industry, Sean doing a good job sitting back and let them at it!
