    Joe Duffy is not qualified and does not have the credentials to deal in this subject.

    No need for a third week on this. Like it or not, this subject has slipped well down the news cycle due to the usual news conveyor belt anyway. Only in Joe’s mind is this still a high priority item. For the actual initial issue with the dodgy priests, the process to deal with that is in train. New week, make a clean break and get dealing with all the other issues on the go right now.

    We haven’t had Whacker calling in to say the Apple money could be given to the OPW to build a shed in everyone’s garden or Joe from Cork saying a motorway could be built to his house.

    Well he's provided a valuable service by warning us in advance at least.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,090 ✭✭✭✭thesandeman


    There was a vigil at the Mother and Baby site in Tuam last night so he might segue into that.

    How many emails and letters did you receive on the subject Joe? Glad An Post delivers to RTE on Saturday and Sunday now. How many other emails and letters did you receive on other subjects you’re choosing not to cover? What was the second in line subject?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,520 ✭✭✭✭Busi_Girl08


    2nd in line would be Tuam or some obscure grave he found on his weekend jaunt to Glasnevin



  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 10,532 Mod ✭✭✭✭squonk


    I reckon Joe has had a senior moment and gotten the JNLR process backwards. Less listeners is better!

    Seriously.…how can you spin another week out of this ??

    Far, far, far out of left-field link to de Huw Edwards guff used as an excuse.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,433 ✭✭✭leath_dub

  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 10,532 Mod ✭✭✭✭squonk


    Wonder if de lad making de bridles and whips is finding he has to diversify into de BDSM stuff now to make a living so to speak! Bet Joe never asked him that!

    Not even bothering today. I’ve had enough.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,968 ✭✭✭avfc1874


    Joe definitely had some things happen to him or he's getting guilt flashbacks of snitching, probably in charge of the whips etc,

    No way would someone without a vested interest be dragging out a subject for so long



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,948 ✭✭✭✭BPKS


    I don't know.

    It's easy, lazy radio that requires f-all research or prep work. He can just land on at 12pm and listen to the same regurgitated stuff for the 10th day in a row or whatever it is.

    And when it comes to campaigning for the Presidential election, Joe can lean on him being to voice as anybody whoever got a slap in school.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,520 ✭✭✭✭Busi_Girl08


    It is mad how they have so many voice actors ready to go with their dramatic readings of emails, but can't get any of them to read out the relevant contact details of helplines available to those impacted?

    Just a rushed "oh you can find the helplines on the RTE website" - to a generation who can struggle with finding things online at the best of time, let alone in a website as difficult to navigate as rte.ie.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,096 ✭✭✭Red Fred


    Is Joe's team including senior producers so afraid of him that they will not call a stop to this abuse of his position? Is he going to run with this topic indefinitely or until the next Funny Friday?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,520 ✭✭✭✭Busi_Girl08


    At this point I suspect the senior producers that Joe references at the end of the show are a pile of mannequins that Joe has lined up with their arms reached out to high 5 as he leaves the studio in triumph.

    Joe was de brainy lad who went to Trinners. I don't see him getting too many whacks/clatters at school.

    The first caller two weeks ago compared the Christian Brothers to de Gestapo. If Joe and his researchers bothered to do some work, they could have Joe's fellow Trinity scholar Uki Goñi on to talk about being taught French with SS efficiency.

    Wtf, the voice of a 5 year old.

    Beyond bizarre.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,144 ✭✭✭✭Arghus


    More of the same.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,948 ✭✭✭✭BPKS


    The Fair City actors are getting another bit of work today

    50months bingo



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 926 ✭✭✭amlinopta


    Excrement Joe. Sums up the show for the last two weeks



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,567 ✭✭✭cozar


    is this only the 3rd week of this topic? It feels like 3 months. Enough already.



  • Posts: 0 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    It's like a movie where Duffoon has barricaded himself and a hostage into the studio.

    Forcing his sh1te to be broadcast.
