He's originally from Lanesborough, did his apprenticeship in the Longford Leader and lives outside Roscommon town. He felt it was important to 'stay true to those who were loyal to me' (his own quote). Also said at the time that it would have been cheaper to have had it published abroad. This was in an interview on Shannonside a couple of years ago - possibly the Joe Finnegan Show. When he did the Children of the Rising book, Duffy hinted that he couldn't get the quality in Ireland and that it was too complex a job. Forgetting to mention that an annual bestseller 'A Season of Sundays' is printed in Dublin and bound in Belfast. It's a book of high quality photos of the years GAA action, very little text, so it needs to be top notch. Lame excuse from him. The Troubles book was printed in Italy, obviously Germany, (where Children of the Rising was printed), have upped their prices. He did it for money, to get more into his own back pocket; no other reason.

The show today was sad on occasions, but I thought Joe displayed remarkable empathy and emotional intelligence in his tone and approach. Very few broadcasters can seamlessly move across that spectrum, but Joe does it very well. as Mr Kipling would say, he makes exceedingly good shows. The predictable and cheap shots came about his salary as usual. These are silly comments, and I must warn, I will take a zero tolerance approach here, they will not nor should be countenanced. Joe is a public service broadcaster whose books and philanthropic efforts generate marvelous results. He is a national treasure and asset to RTE. To respond to the Gerry fellow, you know the price of everything but the value of nothing.

Some people disagree, but it is none of their business, not with their gift. So, we know that some people, Gerry among them, disagree with his remuneration. Ok, we get that. But why raise the issue everytime money comes up. It is not relevant. It is microscopic compared to national indebtedness. So I am calling for a moratorium on discussions of his remuneration, chiefly because it is private matter, none of our business, and outside our scope of affairs.

Btw, the expression is “not within their gift”. And even still you’ve managed to use it completely incorrectly - hmm, can we think of anyone else who uses words they don’t understand? :rolleyes:
