What kind of an interview was that with Michelle O’Neill?

Poor sound ...couldn’t understand a word she was saying.

Jaysus ,surely get her into a studio.

Must be your reception Brendi, I heard it the best and I was out for my daily run along the border too.

Must be, strange that Sir Geoff came over loud and clear.

Hope you weren’t on an unapproved road...... I know they aren’t there anymore ,to deflect about fifty posts.

'Unapproved roads' were a foreign concept to us Brendi. And reception must've been bad btw as it's 'Jeffery'.
Jeffers wouldn't take kindly to you ignoring the Anglicisation of his name fadó fadó

Correct, I used the wrong variant. Apologies Jeffrey.

Painful stuff, flirting feature with Roe McDermott.

Very painful, complete heavy handed rubbish.

I could accept it if it wasn’t so obvious with O’hEadhra and Sarah trying to hint there’s a bit of ‘banter ‘ between them.

Abject failure is my opinion, either present a decent programme with reasonable gravitas and content ,or piss off to Dave or something like Off Road Truckers or ‘My Hell in a Vietnamese Prison”

Terrible stuff.

Nevin Parsnipp · 03-02-2021 05:26PM

O'headhra giving both barrels to Byrne from FG....lad got a terrible batterin ...

Fully deserved. Another lad who thinks waffle will suffice.

Cormac o Hara just went through a full interview with a senior doctor who is engaged in attempting to gain Irish citizenship. Not once did he ask the doctor "where he originally came from", nor did he thank the good doctor for his services. The ghoul duffy should take note !

Sarah giving Billy Kelliher a very easy interview there unfortunately

She could hardly inject too much bile into what he is trying to do.

Minister Donnelly on later.... would predict the tone might be different, whoever gets the gig.

A bit harsh. The two of them strike the right balance between having a bit of craic and switching to serious when necessary.

I agree. They have settled in and you know what you are getting. Never get the feeling the banter is rehearsed like some duo shows.

Not harsh enough. I think they're both decent presenters/interviewers individually, but this new format has ruined what was once a solid news and current affairs programme imo. Maybe this is the kind of stuff/sh1te most listeners want nowadays...who knows.

Will probably gain more listeners than it loses. It's a long stint and I'm sure many switched off when it was all too serious.

Pelvis Parsley · 05-02-2021 01:12AM

I agree-I think they're doing ok, and an improvement for sure on the Great Interrupter.

Ruined in what way? Mary Wilson had her own way doing it which was indeed solid. The new format is also solid and covers all the same ground as before. The only difference being the dynamics in how it's presented has changed.

Brendan Bendar · 10-02-2021 04:46PM

Jaysus.... that lad John Cooke is some negative individual.

Never seems to have anything positive to report on.

Doesn’t seem to have the concept of balance quite fully handled.

Brendan Bendar · 10-02-2021 04:59PM

What a load of tosh on now........ what kind of rubbish is this.

C’mon.... who comes up with this crap.

Robert McGrath · 10-02-2021 05:47PM

Claire Daly getting an easy time here. No real challenge to her agenda. Surprised Sarah hasn’t raised the issue of Daly’s quasi anti-vax Dail questions in the past

Bellbottoms · 10-02-2021 05:50PM

Missed the start. Who is this spoofer.

Surprised!!!

Uhmmm.

Sarah is flash banging..... the Doc is well able for her.

Slow it down Doc, let her blow out the wind...

amlinopta · 16-02-2021 04:32PM

“Text us your favourite 80s song” on a current affairs show. Dumbing down at an alarming pace here.

ShamNNspace · 16-02-2021 05:02PM

Just who's idea is it to have this stuff on rte's premier radio news programme? I really miss the times when I would get the state broadcasters version of the news each day between 5 and 7 and I could take it or leave it as I please, those days are long gone now, everything heading off in the direction of the lowest common denominator

Brendan Bendar · 16-02-2021 05:55PM

O’Broin getting a new one ripped out for him.

mcAuliffe tore nim assunder

About time, even McInerney couldn’t save the guy.

About time someone stood to these charlatans.

I was just passing and saw who the last poster was. I literally clicked in just to see if someone critical of the government was "getting a new one ripped for them". I was not disappointed.

In other news, this is apparently on offer: https://www.amazon.com/Childrens-Illustrated-Thesaurus-DK/dp/1465462376/ref=sr_1_3?crid=163US4L4FMRWE&dchild=1&keywords=thesaurus+for+kids+grades+4-9&qid=1613499212&sprefix=thesaurus%2Caps%2C270&sr=8-3
