    Corry classifies himself as a journalist, though, think thats the difference.

    He is the Editor of a Travel Industry magazine primarily.
    Corry was awarded a lifetime "contribution to the industry" award at the Irish Travel Industry Awards in Dublin on January 22, 2016

    What’s the betting Sarah gets the Darragh O’ Brian interview ?

    Edit.... Brenner got that one wrong...

    Depends on the interviewee usually, don’t listen as much now, nothing but bad news and doom and gloom.

    This looks like it could be good on tomorrow's show.

    not sure Richard is up to speed on this brief....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,985 ✭✭✭✭Brendan Bendar


    He heh heh.... as predicted..... what the fuhherke was all that about.

    Nobody the wiser, just a bunch of waffle .

    O’Broin seemed out of his depth.

    Like a few around here, all Richard wanted t do was get a dig in at SF. Insisted on the lie it was they who blocked the Oscar Traynor development and breezed right by O'Broin's list of all who had objected to it.
    Chancer.

    That's 20 minutes I won't get back - what a load of nonsense, two normally good performers trying to out waffle each other.

    Only myself to blame....knew this would be a waffle fest

    Nothing personal Info, but if you thought that “something” might come out of this pseudo ‘debate’ that the ordinary Joe like ourselves might gain knowledge from, then you can blame yourself.

    I was cynical enough not to expect anything, and I got exactly as expected.

    Anyone who claims to have understood the content of this charade is, to use the mantra of the Alphabets.. “telling lies”, in my opinion.

    .

    Definitely not expecting to learn anything from the 'debate' but
    Was I wrong to hope that Bruton would perform well and wipe the floor....

    Info, you certainly were, given the subject-housing.

    This subject has been festering in our country for years and nobody, I say again- nobody -seems to have a handle as to how to get on top of it.

    Everybody seems to be to blame, and the ordinary Joe has no clue who or why it’s the way it is.

    I'm fairly sure I heard O'Broin say there are alternate proposals for the OT development.

    Richard had no alternative, he was the one blaming. Richard was blaming SF and none of the other objectors too. Richard wants to make it a political football therefore. Don't be Richard.

    Normal interview by sarah there with SF spokesman. Maybe someone has told her how to carry out interviews!

    did you hear it? she didn't really badger the lad left him answer questions, maybe it was because he was SF but it seemed reasonable enough to me!

    Amateur hour but I'm no longer surprised as the standard of journalism continues to decline.

    Conor who...?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,033 ✭✭✭ShamNNspace


    Conor...?

    Conor who...?

    Cormac, I've amended my post, with heartfelt apologies for any hurt I may have caused for mixing up the Christian name Conor with Cormac

    I've given up on this show but tuned in out of curiosity. I lasted about 20 seconds...male grooming on Drivetime...no thanks. Not that the alternatives are any better...Kieran Cuddihy was plugging an item on the challenges of being a (new) father by having a chat with other NT presenters.

    It’s sinking slowly into a mish- mash of rubbish.
