Looking forward to Pat ripping into FF and FG today on the fake polling story.

Still waiting Pat, unless I've missed it.

Was covered yesterday with a journalist type but no political representative. Will be going through it again with the ‘Friday Forum’.

There was definitely a leaning that SF setting up fake documents and a fake company was much worse than the other, more normal, parties just calling as generic “pollsters”.

Pat , unsurprisingly , not a fan of Edwin Poots !!

meeeeh · 11-06-2021 11:25AM

Considering support for DUP fell even more after he was elected it seems barely anyone is.

HeidiHeidi · 14-06-2021 09:16AM

Has Pat keeled over, or gone for a cuppa or something?

This woman talked for about 5 minutes, completely uninterrupted!

A noticeable difference from when he gets dug into a guest and literally shouts them down over and over.

(I'm making no comment on what the woman was/is saying, btw - just the fact that allowing her ramble on for so long uninterrupted is unusual - even she sounded surprised at the end of each sentence that Pat didn't come in, so lurched on!)

Oh, ok, he's still there.....

Jeremy Clarkson was a Remainer all the way through the debate and referendum.

Pat was getting a bit annoyed by the SF TD David Cullinane , but then again he did just keep waffling on and on.

He sure was waffling.

I'm very interested in this lazy eye treatment.. it's a big problem with me.

Pat opens with the HSE are confused about Antigen testing. Looks like he is going to explain it to us today

lilywhitearmy · 15-06-2021 08:15AM

Why are all of these people getting paid to study and advise on this pandemic when we can sack them all and let pat continue to do it for just the price of his Newstalk salary!

The living definition of "I don't want to tell you how to do your job, but..."

Oh my word but is e explaining or. more accurately, arguing.

It's the word according to Luke ONeill (one of the top 5 virologist in the world apparently) and Pat Kenny.

I think we can add NIAC to the rant list. Very dismissive of them...as if they don't know anything about vaccines at all. He may have a point with some of these topics, but he really lets himself down in how he goes about it. He makes a show of himself at times.

2smiggy · 15-06-2021 08:27AM

The contributor not singing from Pat's hymn sheet about the antigen testing. It's Pat that does not get it

Cole · 15-06-2021 08:29AM

Pat to Dr Denis McCauley at the end..."We get you on to share your opinion, not to share mine".

Are you taking the fcuking p1ss Pat?!

meeeeh · 15-06-2021 08:30AM

There seems huge risk aversion in on behalf of Irish experts. They need 100% proof for anything and in the meanwhile we can be all locked at home. It's public servant's attitude of making sure that you are covered first above everything else. Other countries are prepared to take some risks to open quicker.

That being said Pat is lately treating everyone like they know nothing and he is the expert. It's tiresome.

Must be all the rest of the world and Pat that don't get it and only our experts here in Ireland that do get it so.

I think Pat is right to point out the tardiness in much of the advice coming from NPHET and NIAC despite international evidence to the contrary.
NIAC, in particular seem to think that they are more expert than the European Medicines Agency in the approval of vaccines. It seems that NIAC think that it more important to justify their existence that doing anything useful.

I've been all behind our public health experts (and broadly still am), but I am getting a bit puzzled by the ultra cautious approach to antigen testing and mixing of vaccines. I don't know enough about it, so it's useful to hear from those those who do to analyse/debate it...but I don't need to hear Pat telling us all how sh1t everyone else is, how much he knows and virtually laughing at those who have a different interpretation. It's how Pat approaches these topics that's inappropriate imo

He's becoming a right pain in the arse.

meeeeh · 15-06-2021 08:47AM

I completely agree about Pat's approach. It's tedious now.

I think that it is probably due more to the HSE's ability or lack thereof, to manage the process rather than the scientific evidence! IMO.

Totally agree very tedious, but maybe somebody needs to keep banging on about it?

HeidiHeidi · 15-06-2021 08:54AM

My God, but that was a masterclass in obnoxiousness by Pat this morning :eek:

I don't know why that doctor didn't just hang up on him. You'd have to admire his patience.

And then to finish with "oh nooooo, doctor, we get you on for your views, not for you to hear mine" - he actually said that with a straight face

I had to turn him off at that point, could take no more.

And as for his blind adoration of Luke O'Neill - I'm a LO'N fan myself, mostly - he was the only voice of positivity for the most part during our darkest days - but at the end of the day, he can say what he wants (at the risk of only his own reputation) - the experts (yes, experts Pat!) in NIAC and NPHET actually carry the responsibility for the outcome of decisions made. Luke O'Neill does not.

Fook me, he's off again on antigen testing :mad::mad::mad:

Lyric it is for the morning.

You may have a point about the HSE. I'm guessing all of these decisions involve far more complex considerations that we are privy to. No harm at all in Pat raising these issues, but it's how he does it that's tedious...such a dismissive and sneering tone.

If he continues with the tone, it won't be long before he runs out of interviewees.

Spot on...and Dr Denis McCauley has definitely found his calling as a GP. As my mother says, he has the patience of a saint.

There's banging on about something and then there's not accepting the answers and explanations that you are been given.

Not impressed by Pat this morning.

Dr. McAuley could not have explained the limitations of one-off antigen tests more clearly, in about three different ways, and still Pat shouted over him as if they were 100% dependable and reliable.

He was clearly just not listening to anything the doctor was saying - he had his own spiel, and by God he was going to get it across (in the most sneering, condescending tone he could manage) come hell or high water.

Outrageous carry-on.

Not impressed either by Pat this morning. That doesn't mean the answers should be accepted, if these explanations are not supported by international scientific opinion.

2smiggy · 15-06-2021 09:13AM

from what I understand the antigen tests are not very reliable with asymptomatic people ? Symptomatic people should not be out and about anyway.
