I have seldom heard such rubbish as I’m hearing now about Michael Cauley.

Rubbish...... what kind of rubbish are you hearing?

Michael McNamara must be coming down with a touch of Covid19 himself. This has to be the one of the worst performances of any TD I've ever heard ...jaw dropping stuff.

Probably everything uttered by Michael McNamara this morning.

Michael Mc Namara finally being torn to shreds with his nonsense - getting an easy ride for months

Raisins

So hard to listen to people shouting each other down on and laughing at each other’s points etc on a Sunday morning.

That’s one thing the late Marian Finuncane was really good at. She moderated the discussion to give it a calm less noisy vibe.

Damian finished the call with him abruptly.

And I’m in total agreement with that view.

What ‘Pat’ has to learn is responsibility brings with it higher standards.

Thankfully Mr Cauley realised this and Ms Martin also realised it

Chop chop, bang , gonzo, job done overnight end of, nice and clean.

Unlike the Cowen scenario...........

Not enough though...hopefully more will follow post interview and his Oireachtas colleagues will give him a good pasting.

Slightly different scenario, Cowen is an elected representative, Cauley is not.

I didnt get the names, but interesting discussion earlier.

Man: we dreadfully overreacted to the pandemic, got it totally wrong etc.

Woman: but all those pictures from Italy of hospitals being overwhelmed, that could easily have been us.

Man: exactly, great point. And just proves what I'm saying.

I lost him after that. How did it prove his point? Couldnt quite make out the thread of that argument.

I don't think anyone could...and he's the chairman of the Oireachtas Response to Covid19 Committee.

No, it wasnt McNamara. Its one of the guys on the panel, didnt catch his name at the start.

Oh it must have got mixed up in my head, due to the panels talking over each other and me shouting at the radio. The other guy's Karl Dieter.

Karl Dieter - his point blown out of the water by Sinead who pointed out that the article written by DanO' Brien had a caveat on it (by Dan )

It's chicken and chips circuit not rubber chicken

Pointless having both MLD and Sinead O'Carroll in the studio agreeing on everything. They are both painful. Plus MLD was picked by Enda Kenny to be in the Seanad, so there is always the whiff of a shill from her.

McNamara was at a very distinct disadvantage, him being on the phone line and having two people in the studio disagreeing with every sentence before he had finished. I hope he's not going to do the Joe Duffy trick of giving more unchallenged airtime to only those people whose views he agrees with.

The basic principle is the same Mav.

My point is that positions of responsibility bring on higher standards.

‘Pat and Patricia’ seem to have a difficult relationship with that concept.

Think charities

Think politics

Think churches and religion

Think FAI

....and many others.

I think his overall point of there being a consensus and "putting on of the green jersey" with regard to the lockdown is still valid though.

MLOD coming in with 20/20 hindsight....and total bullschidt.

MLOD is headache inducing a simple question elicits a 13000 word answer

I've always known it as the rubber chicken circuit!

Had to turn it off today, between MLOD, them all shouting each other down, and then Leaving Cert to top it off (I know it's of great importance to a lot of people, but my god I'm sick of hearing about it)

Compared to Karl Dieter and Michael Mc Namara who agree everything ?

Is the issue not that Sinead Mary L have shown that KD and MmN are all noise with arguments that fall apart once challenged

Did Karl not think Sinead might have read the same Dan O Brien article and seen the caveat....

Does Karl Dieter like any one?

Should stick to providing mortgage advice.

MLOD........Hopefully RTE will have learned the lesson not to book MLOD on a show like this again.

Way too strident and domineering.‘Gobby mare’ doesn’t do her justice

Nearly took over from Damien today .....

You don’t want a gobby mare roaring at you of a Sunday morning with a head like a ‘stone pot’ on you from Sat nite.

Well this poster doesn’t anawy.
