    Incredible stuff from Nooze Hannon today.

    I was in the slab listening and couldn’t believe my ears.

    Josepha was the ‘aunt Sally’ for today and the way Nooze weighed in with everything negative was astounding.

    Everything Josepha said was shouted down by Nooze yet when ‘Up the Ra’ spoke not a word of dissention was heard.

    How this person got a presenters job in RTE is a …well …a mystery to me.

    She must know where some bodies are buried, to coin a phrase.

    Gone until until January 8th 2022 I'd imagine.

    Crazy stuff.

    To be fair Josepha was talking out of both sides of her mouth and needed to be pulled up.

    I missed this programme and decided to listen to the playback this morning.

    Is there a more negative regressive person in all of RTE than Hannon

    Everything she brings up is negative in the extreme and if anyone tries to accentuate the positive they are cut

    down straight away.

    However the icing on the cake was when Hannon berated Minister Thomas Byrne over the Dáil Xmas’ Holidays’ when her own state sponsored so called PUBLIC SERVICE BROADCASTER put the gaff on autopilot for around three weeks.

    We have the greatest piece of hypocracy ever from these overpaid stones right there.

    Luckily in we have in Thomas Byrne a person who is well able for her and the tag team she brings along.

    Every time the Minister opened his mouth she allowed the others to shout him down.

    Abominable biased ‘moderating’.

    Well yes, we are in agreement on a number of aspects of this show, I was watching it on RTE News now and yes, the hypocrisy about Dail extended breaks when RTE news staff and generally have been awol for nearly four weeks was outrageous, indeed the 6 one team , still to return and Claire Byrne decided to breeze back into the studio last Wednesday as if she was never away, very telling on her last show a week before Christmas, no have a great Christmas listener's, see you in 4 weeks etc, she managed to sneak out the door quietly.

    I do admit to being equally flabbergasted at the Dails 4 week break also.

    The second item, re Funding given to schools and Katie's, back to its an airborne virus mantra was a low punch and you could tell by her facial expression and the ministers immediate terse reaction, she had over stepped the mark, objectivity had gone out the window and an advert break couldn't come quickly enough.

    Very disappointing I have to say as I like Katie Generally.

    Yes fair comment there D….. and indeed you very astutely spotted the time Hannon mentioned the airborne nature of the Covid disease which drew a response from the Minister which was the nearest I heard him go close to losing the cool.

    He did put Hannon in her box though mentioning cleaning and sanitizers in RTE.

    I meant to refer to it in my first post but you reminded me of it.

    The brass necked way these people swan back after Xmas as if everyone was partying over Xmas really annoys me

    and needs to be highlighted on whatever platform you can.

    Well isn't it amazing, we start agreeing for the new year 😁 but yes , being completely objective it was a very ,very poor showing by Katie Hannon 😏

    Now please don't think I've gone soft in 2022 Brendan 🤣

    You're doing Claire an injustice there. It was Thursday when she breezed in, not Wednesday! Seems to work the teachers holidays.

    I apologise sincerely and am humbly chastised 😁

    I actually think Teachers would blush at Claires holidays 😏

    Never do,D, I will always acknowledge if I’ve been wrong and always acknowledge fair posts .

    She had a right mare yesterday.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,138 ✭✭✭✭Dempo1


    Might have been because she didn't get as much hols as Joe, Ryan, Claire, All main RTE news presenters, All Rte Correspondents and presumably, Dee Forbes 😁

    Potential fireworks today, Colm Brophy, Louise O Reilly, Rosin Shorthall . Colm is almost in the next studio, such is his effort to social distance from Louise O Reilly 😁

    Yes they should debate culture.not so much Irish culture but maybe overseas Culture.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,138 ✭✭✭✭Dempo1


    O, I doubt they'll go there , the narrative continues to be all men's behaviour generally.

    Very disturbing and sinister email sent in, not sure if you heard that 😳

    Yes I did and it didn't do men any favours.

    But then again was it a man or a woman that sent that in .



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,138 ✭✭✭✭Dempo1


    Very vague but I'm presuming a male as the warning was pretty much don't be discussing negativity towards men . Quite extraordinary anyone sending such a veiled treat into a national broadcaster.

    Many of the larger names are contracted to rte and get paid for a specific role/programme.

    They are not directly employed and don't get holiday pay or rte pension.

    This is often forgotten when the annual moanfest around rte salaries comes around.


    As for Katie hannon, I listened once and never again.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,138 ✭✭✭✭Dempo1


    Actually it's not forgotten, and allow me to correct you, ALL news Correspondents, All News presenters and indeed most presenters are Staffers , HIGHLY paid primarily through tax payer funded resources and Licence Fee .

    Tis a typical tactic imv, pick someone on the extreme fringes (I have my doubts about the veracity of such correspondences) and place them on the alter and shout repent ye, there is a new church and it's very similar to the last, its high priests in the ngo's and suchlike are preaching to us to have a conversation but its only ever a one way conversation and we are the ones who must listen

    This new Antigen test regime is just bizzare, upload your test to HSE portal for no logical reason I can think of apart from giving HSE data, people still have to get a lab confirmed Antigen or pcr test at their expense if they want a covid recovery cert and that is more expense, requesting this of GP 🙄

    Wasn't he on the show just a couple of weeks ago? Is he the only Government minister vain enough to give up his Saturday?
