    Actually I think we should hand out a leaflet to everybody who is on this thread with the following question:

    What is the purpose of Newstalk, the station that Ciara Kelly works for?
    a) To make money for Dennis O'Brien.
    b) To give you a genuinely objective representation of the truth.

    It hasn't made a penny for DOB, it's yet to make a profit.

    The profit doesn’t matter, it’s the message that matters!

    Right now she might have tested positive but it must be false positive because she can't have it according to someone who knows her psychological disorders and medical history. Scraping and bottom comes to mind.

    Never said any of that. You're once again attempting to place words in my mouth.

    DOB being in charge of so much of our media is far from ideal, but I am glad Newstalk is there and we're not stuck with no alternative to RTE Radio 1.

    By your logic though the HSE are lying about false positives - why don't you email Prof. Margaret Hannan of the Mater Misericordiae University Hospital and ask her why she stated the False Positive rate is 10% this morning in her circular on behalf of the National Task Force. I'll PM you her email address if you like?

    Edit - she was actually on with Pat Kenny about 2 weeks ago discussing COVID-19 if you're doubting she exists.

    Presumably (though whether it has or not is a different question)
    b) To give you a genuinely objective representation of the truth.
    That's a naive view of the media. Aside from factual reporting, it's all about alternative views. Make up your own mind after that.

    Mod Note

    There is so much wrong over the last number of pages that I am loathe to even reopen this thread, but after discussing with other Mods from here on out it is ZERO tolerance. Any attacking poster, presenters etc. will be an immediate and non negotiable ban as far as mods are concerned, end of. A reminder if needed to read and familiarise yourself with the Charter https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057005035

    Honestly there is a lot going on in the World right now, no need to be acting the maggot in here, mods are just people who like radio, most of us like yourselves are trying to adjust to a new normal and are busy, work with us.

    Editing to add the warning from post 1!

    MOD NOTE
    Updated 05/10/17

    Posts that fixate on the presenter's gender, or other aspects of their personal identity, are not welcome on this forum.

    Any user who continues to dwell on the presenter's gender, or who is seen to be gender-bashing more generally, will be carded or banned. In light of some recent posts, and the many, many warnings to date, the penalty will likely be a ban. In some cases, there may even be permanent bans handed out.

    Please continue to freely discuss the programme content and production quality, but keep it within the bounds of the charter, and this warning.

    Please report any posts that breach these rules


    thanks PC7

    I think they should replace her. She has had long enough. Who would be a good replacement for lunchtime live?

    Oh God , 100 days of walking still going strong !

    I think we are all walking now for ourselves to just feel better, not because its Ciara's "100 days of walking". All these media driven hyped events and hopefully Operation Transformation etc etc will all fall to the wayside in the wake of Coronavirus.

    She really isn’t the problem, the shows “format” is terrible. Once you let the general public phone in the “standard” drops.

    Susan Keogh would be an excellent “successor” to Dr. Ciara Kelly but even she could make it any better when you have morons calling in to have a “moan” about the most dreary of things.

    I find Susan Keogh a bit bland but that's basically the issue with the format. It was a bliss when only Joe Duffy catered for morons.

    And no George Hook wouldn't be any better. In fact they tried with call ins and stopped them because it was to awful to listen to him trying to have conversation with 'regular' people.

    Yes i agree. She's just another Joe Duffy at this stage. And one daytime, have a moan call-in show is enough for any person.


  • Posts: 3,656 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I prefer Susan Keogh because she stays calm and doesn't make issues about her. So the topics actually get more attention and airtime without all the personal interjection from the presenter.

    "hear you"

    She's so annoying, Susan Keogh way better.
    Like Mark Cagney was way better than Ivan Yates, IMO.

    yesterday she had such a rant at her guest who is in the area of Higher Education, the topic was about deferring Leaving Cert. She said she was asking on behalf of her "bloody daughter" !:eek:

    Then she had a young student from Donegal on the phone and this girl said something about disruptive students in class (not sure of the entire conversation) and immediately Ciara chipped "I was that student"!!! FFS - it always has to be about her!

    so go from PC to uber PC ?

    Remember her attempt at the big leagues last year when she had a go at the Rose of Tralee for not having any direct provision women or travellers or indeed homeless women?

    That's the kind of pre packed PC clone you're getting with Susan Keogh

    You’re right. They should just parachute Niall Boylan in. Is there any better “tells it like it is” merchant knocking around these days?

    Would Ian O’Doherty take up a radio “job”? He’d certainly have the pants down from a lot of lads on here.

    Ye the Rose of Tralee rant was hilarious. Imagine bitterly attacking something as harmless as that and expecting a round of applause.

    She backed anyway from that one pretty quickly when she realized that nobody gave a fiddlers.

    People saw right through her cynical opportunistic hackery

    She ticked off a who's who of trendy left wing causes, like shooting fish in a barrel, that's the kind of people at the forefront of irish journalism today, no wonder the insufferably dull colette browne is on every second panel


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,624 ✭✭✭✭meeeeh


    I didn't know Rose of Tralee is so deeply in Irish hearts people still whinge about a bit of criticism a year afterwards (or however long it is, I can't exactly remember when it's on).

    Btw as a foreigner I find completely baffling how something like this gets so much attention.

    Why would anybody complain about it though, sure they all have lovely bottoms, what's not to like :-)

    Ps, Susan Keogh was ranting and raving about 'a lack of diversity', but let's be honest, nobody wants to see a fat rose!

    This post is perfect because so many complain here about Ciara making it all about her, but have no problem with someone whose actual structure on topics is 'here is what I think, what's the problem.'

    I suspected as much but still dont know is it because of some inherent sense of jealousy or misogyny aimed at Ciara/Susan or because they have an issue with any sort of progressive thought.

    Just curious, is the Covid-19 an issue in your 1970 world the same way as it is here, 50 years further on?

    I have no strong interest one way or another in relation to the Rose of Tralee, but the clarity of thought in your post is a major reason why a lot of people do.

    Haha I thought you wouldn't be too far behind you're buddy and you didn't disappoint, just waiting on the other fella now, Ah Well or whatever his name is. The 3 'woke' amigos :-)

    Susan's rant didn't pan out the way she'd hoped though, I'm not joking about that, it actually backfired a bit or am I wrong?

    Well, I suspect you are wrong, as always, in presuming that when she expressed an opinion, she was doing so as some form of a strategy. Why must everything be so contrived, or have you any evidence whatsoever that this is the case? Or do you prefer your female radio hosts (if we must have them) to be devoid of personal views?

    Sorry for interrupting what I can only imagine at this point must be some form of therapeutic release of pent up angst for whatever reason. Hope it feels like it is working for you. Maybe you might have better luck talking to women, than being judgmental of them. Or would you see that as too 'woke' an approach and so are incapable of considering it?

    No need to apologise, you're forgiven :-)

    Well in fairness Susan was making a bitta noise to get her name out there and that worked grand (I'd never heard of her before then, so fair balls to her on that score) but people didn't row in behind her woke diatribe like she'd hoped, so it did backfire in that sense.

    Anyway on to more important matters than silly little Susan, what ever happened to George Hook? he was the only presenter on Newstalk that was any good. Used to love when he had Michael Graham on as well, he was excellent, does he still contribute?

    Also there's better ways to release stress, ZING ;-)

    Ps, I feel great today to be honest, tis a mighty day out, what about you?

    I'm not a buddy anyway. Look weather you like to watch a bit paddy whackery with slim arses or fat arses is your own choice. You are still complaining about irrelevant remarks about competition that is even more irrelevant. No better way to become irrelevant yourself.

    By the way if Susan was doing that just to get her name out she obviously succeeded with people like you.
