    Yes.

    Well more accurately a retired comedian.

    He was very successful.

    Sweated a lot for that success.

    You know when a comedian is not doing well when they are given 2 series by TV3 and are heavily promoted only to get very small audience.

    Now you could suggest this was during they time when TV3 lost Coro St and Emmerdale but in reality that's a relatively speaking well known and liked comedian who also featured on one of their biggest shows during that period "Ireland's Got Talent", a show drop as soon as TV3 saw its beloved soaps return.

    Jim sheridan is promoting a tv doc ,it was a very interesting interview.
    he was also on 2fm dave fanning show.
    theres not that many true crime documentarys made in ireland
    i think the most boring guest on radio is a comedian talking about standup .theres a 100 podcasts at leasts with comedians as guests on them.
    jim sheridan said said bailey was an interesting guy, a poet whose life was destroyed by accusations against him who is quiet happy to be interviewed .

    Was interesting when he said that the Gardai weren’t allowed interview her husband and whoever heard of a murder investigation where the police couldn’t interview the victim’s husband. Not for a minute suggesting anything but was still gobsmacked when I heard that .

    I’m not.

    But still there should be some standards..time and a place. And it’s not on a radio programme broadcaster by the National station.

    And Sheridan was deliberately trying to be too cool for school.

    Brendan himself pulled him on it because he himself saw it as out of order. And he simply brought in the causing offence angle.

    There’s a lot you hear about that case that sounds incredibly odd. Gards forcing people to lie, losing evidence.

    I’m looking forward to watching the show. I’ve said it before that I can’t say whether Bailey did it, or not, but the gardaí made an absolute mess of the investigation.

    When is this going to be on?

    My mother in law is convinced he did it. She's reveling in the fact that he's being done for drug driving.

    Feel so bad for restaurateurs who sound completely broken by the prospect of more delays and confusion and unclear messaging. We have 13 people in ICU with covid in the entire country. The majority of the country has received at least one vaccine. It’s an absolute joke that emergency measures are now just completely abused by the government.

    Om. Om. Om.
    The affectation is pretty annoying alright.
    And yeah, RTE insider - especially weird when you consider how much his big gob cost them.

    A thing isn't what it says it is.

    I find him quite irritating.

    He's probably call me a backward homophobe for saying that.

    It's a great pity he's experiencing this nonsense from random troglodytes though.

    Men are wearing more shorts in public due to the covid inspired 'sense of sensuality' in the air.
    Nothing items follow one another like night follows day on this show.

    A thing isn't what it says it is.

    A thing is what it does.

    Rory is now part of the RTE guest circuit.

    He's in there with the Brennans, Dermot Bannon, Jason Byrne, Nathan Carter et al.
