Liveline With Joe Duffy - Mod Note in OP

all this would be moot if there was proper sentencing in the country,

He should of served the 3 years, and he wouldn’t be in the running for an All Star

Limerick is a big rugby town. Im sure they could find someone who does not share the GAA mantra.

Actually a good solid entertaining episode of Liveline today.

MVP goes to Siobhan who took on all challengers.

Fair play to them all, who, despite all differences and surity of righteousness across the board, entirely failed to put across a single coherent argument - particularly Joe who brought David Drumm into it for absolutely no reason at all.

I don't know if someone made this suggestion as I dropped in and out of today's show. But could Hayes be suspended from being nominated for Hurling All-Stars for the length of his suspended sentence?

Do my eyes deceive me or did Joe manage to bring David Drumm into a discussion about Kyle Hayes?

Tedious links are one thing, but how on earth did he manage this?

Ironically, when Joe was in his Social worker phase, he'd probably be standing in court advocating for lads guilty of similar to Kyle Hayes

"He made a youthful mistake"

""He comes from a good family "

"He's very active in the local community"

Would all be phrases familiar to good ol' Joe

He certainly wouldn't be referring to Loughan House as a "holiday camp", which he did today

Anyone got a telephone number for an Irish bar in Melbourne? #melbournecup

they could try the clifton hill, not been there in 20 years, but it's no doubt a yuppy bar at this stage !!

You joke, but my mother was an art teacher, and I myself am a dab hand at the painting. When the Community Games Art Competition winner was announced, in my parish at least, every single year, the winner just happened to be a son of a GAA Club member or was in the club.

I'd nearly say, when the likes of whats-his-name from yesterday was in front of the judge, someone pointed out he is a great artist and a hero in the community, "Shur didnt he win the art competition 3 years in a row?".

When the Scouts had a recruitment drive, the word was put out that if you joined the Scouts you would never be put on the team because "your mind would be unfocussed due to that scouting malarky". This was said to kids, aged 9,10,11.

Good "Hall Of Fame" cockup in today's promo. Well done Joe.

She's angry. As anyone would be. I don't know the victim or the assailant and I'm feckin angry.

The thing with a suspended sentence is, in most people's eyes, it means "it's not that bad then". It's not even a slap on the wrist. It's a day out, an excuse to wear a suit, for the perpetrator and then life goes on as normal.

I always want to know what mammys have to say about their adult son's issues.

Can adults not speak for themselves

The GAA have been happy enough to give him awards and make him a hero. I think his victim should be entitled to let the public know about the impact his thuggery has on innocent people.
