The Pat Kenny Show

Israeli ambassador back on. She must have her own parking space at this stage

She is "very disappointed"

Tough sh1t, Dana!

after a grueling 37 weeks of work.

It never seems to attract much comment that when PK went to work for newstalk (his pay at the time being specially provided for by DOB) his on-air working hours went up by an hour a day (and there was a brief period of Pat Kenny at the weekends as well) and there were no 12 week long summer holidays either. Similar to Tubs in the UK, a lot less money for a lot more work. Can you blame the current stars in RTE sticking to what they have for dear life?

Hope the door doesn't hit her on the way out.

FFS. We can't build tall buildings in Dublin because it will ruin our medieval aesthetic. So, lets build a tall building in Tullamore? People of Tullamore: "Oh no you can't build a tall building in Tullamore, thats for cities!".

I don't know why they are worried, they are so short-sighted they won't be able to see the top of it.

As if they would be remotely interested in their humdrum lives.

Well they can build their apartments in Clonmel, we are desperate for accommodation - loads of professionals coming to work in our hospital, big pharma etc, and no where to stay. Nothing for the young people to live in, its a disgrace

The Sheraton Hotel in Athlone is 11 stories. Instead of it "looming" over the town, it is the highpoint - literally and figuratively. In my opinion it looks nice when seen from a distance.

I'd much prefer we start building up rather than endless miles of 2 storey buildings. Emerald Isle? Grey, 2-storey isle more like.

I live in one of the most affluent parts of Britain, Enda Brady tells us.

He must have made a nice wedge from reporting about the Royal Family and the rest of his Tory heroes.

This one on with Pat Kenny now, Olivia DoGooder. She must have had 3 double espressos before she started talking. But again, no solutions to the tent city problem.

Far right lads who hate "plantations" but have "planters" surnames.

I posted, frankly a rant, on another platform, that the Defence Forces Headquarters do not know what to do with the Reserve Defence Force and has allowed it to stagnate and dwindle. Actually, I see now its a case that the government don't know what to do with the Defence Forces in general.

Pat: Obviously it takes time to set up prefabs and shower blocks etc.

Many years in succession, I spent 3 weeks on Summer camp with the Reserve Defence Force, sleeping in tents(big army tents, not 30 euro tents from Aldi). The entire regiment trained together, about 400 personnel in total. We had a shower tent, a toilet tent. Female lines had the same facilities.

How long did it take the Army logistics corps to put up those tents? About 3 hours.

It would be nice if someone in government got up off their arse and directed the army to take control of this tent situation in Dublin.
