I’ve been very critical of Sarah McInerney in the past but she has done well here grilling Charlie Flanagan. He will be very embarrassed by his performance.

It would be nice if you had expanded on your reasons for the above statement, but anyway I have to totally disagree.

Maybe if Charlie Flanagan had agreed to move all the refugees in Cahersiveen into private rooms in Arus an Uachtarain she would have accepted his answers.
I’m sure that she is a lovely person, but I find her really grating and annoying, it will be interesting to see the audience ratings when they come out

I think Audrey Carville might be good or if they were not tied to a female Gavan Jennings.

Is that you Gavin:D

According to this they are husband and wife.

I have to admit, she's not annoying me anywhere near as much as she did on Newstalk.

Sarah is getting the thumbs up from the IT.

Can't agree with them on the Charlie Flanagan interview, but otherwise yeah!!!!

Charlie Flanagan should have been given his P45 by Leo a long time ago as he is clearly not be on top of his brief - in particular to law and order rather than the Direction Provision gravy train.

She's giving Tom Parlon a grilling. He's wriggling and squirming. Welcome to Parlon Country:)

generalgerry

Never heard hired gun Tom Parlon as stuck for words as he is this morning. Did he not think that he was going to be asked bout this?

Klonker

How does Tom Parlon keep getting top level jobs? He must be very embarrassed at the moment.

Typical construction industry arrogance. Thought he'd get any easy ride? She's not letting it go!

Ex politician, well connected??

Tom Parlon "we have to reduce costs to a maximum". Should that not be "to a minimum"? No wonder construction costs are so high!!!!!

I used to find Sarah's voice a bit shrill and grating in her previous radio shows but listening to her over the past week or two, I think she's growing into her new role quite well.

She seems to have tempered her slightly aggressive interviewing style a little but she's still asking the right questions. RTE need a current affairs presenter with a bit of an edge, as SOR deftly demonstrated and given a bit of time, I think Sarah will make a good job of it.

No, in my opinion he is correct.

‘Reduce‘ is the important word and it’s the reduction of costs which needs to be reduced to the maximum.

To have to reduce costs to a minimum to me would need as little as possible reduction.

I could be open to correction of course.

What he means is maximum reduction in costs ie reduced to the minimum. He got it wrong which is ok, he's an industry leader, not a professor of linguistics at trinity college.

She was a regular panelist on Vincent Brown's tonight show (TV3), and wouldn't have got that gig without a fair amount of respect from Vincent - a dogged interviewer himself ...

Hmmmm......... only to those who put themselves out there.

Doesn’t touch ,sorry, didn’t , touch the wasters and flappers who shouted from the sidelines and did nothing themselves.

Hope she doesn’t turn out like that, wouldn’t be an asset to any media outfit.

Well, not one that I’d subscribe to anyway, i mean I would not read the ‘The Irish Socialist’ or the ‘The Red Flag’.

Far too many home boys pandering socialism and ‘fairness for all’ whilst trousering very significant wedges at taxpayers expense.....uhmmmmm!

Education Minister is on now. What a cluster**** they have made of the leaving cert.
The more questions Sarah asks, the more I realise how stupid the people who run this country are

Yep it's a total mess. In fairness to the minister, he wanted to go ahead with the exams which was by far the best solution.

Klonker

John Halligan being very honest at the moment on government formation talks :pac:. Very rare and refreshing to hear that kind of straight talk from a politician.

Well his backbone didn't last too long on that stand. Which tells you all you need to know about him and his colleagues

She's had a fair go at Pat McDonagh of Supermacs there about wages, staff deductions for meals,coffees and uniforms.

McDonagh will regret saying the Covid €350 payment for those who were only working 1 shift a week previously is 'like a lotto win' for those workers. Ged Nash already using that quote against him

Pat was very reasonable and I think Sarah and Ged are way off topic here. They are supposed to be talking about the 350 payment to part time workers, not the minimum wage here.

Nice to see him being filleted by Sarah.

Ignorant showing there from Ged Nash, Labour TD. Constantly cutting across the other 2 and talking incessantly. Pure grandstanding.
He even claimed at one stage he works '24/7 for his constituents'.

Sarah needs to learn where the mute button is on her control panel
