Starting tonight, supposed to be something like Questions and Answers where members of the audience put questions to the panel.
Hopefully it will be a bit better than the complete mess Claire Byrne Live was for the last few years.
Yes, and it was crazy that people went on strike over handling produce from apartheid South Africa. History proves those idiots were wrong just like the International Olympic Committees decision to ban South Africa.
So you're hoping it will get praise in 40 years?
Does Neale Richmond ever take his grumpy face off. 😂
SF would happily replace the Tricolor with the Palestinian flag. I wish there was no wars, genocides etc. But, why does Ireland seem to be more worried about putting out the fires down the road, or in the next town over......when our own country is a mess? Baffles me.
If outrage at genocide is your thing, where's the constant outrage at atrocities in Yemen, or Sudan or the DRC, for example. Why is Gaza so special? Absolutely abhorrent what has happened there, no question, but what about other countries?
The "I'm a serious politican face" but when really he's been coached and learned off what to say.
Sometimes it takes people that long to see they were wrong.
Sure when Trump relocates the Palestinians here, no doubt some percentage of them will seek retribution...."if you're not for us you're against us" that sort of thing.
For one thing Yemen, Sudan and the Congo aren’t getting billions in aid and billions in trade. Also if you look at who is behind the conflict in Sudan and the Congo you will see the usual suspects figure large.
No fan of SF but I think Lynn Boylan got her points on the UN & Triple Lock across well!
Watching on +1. Shatter is 74, fresh for that.
He's turned into a very bitter old man though.
People only care about their jobs and their economic future, not Gaza.
That young black haired chap, with short beard, in the brown jumper is mature beyond his years.
Maybe you are projecting. If you believe people only care about their jobs and economic future just look at history. Look at anybody who made a decision they know would cost them because it was the right thing to do. Are Irish taxpayers in the streets protesting that the reaction to the Ukraine war has cost them €5 billion in direct exchequer funding and much more in increased energy costs?
God you're deluded. Where do you think the money to pay for paying the 5 billion, the tooth fairy?
Who do you think brings in the most tax into the country that provides Ireland citizens with a living?
The American multi nationals are the reason why we're surviving and bucketing the downward spiral for the rest of the EU. Isreal has the ears of the most unpredictable and absolute bat **** crazy leader of the free world and on a whim could make Irelands life extremely difficult
Why does Ireland have to die on a hill over symbolic gesture, it's madness and virtue signalling at it's worse
And you know the funny thing is Ireland becomes poorer, who will provide food aid to Gaza?
Oh, the, “my job may depend on not mentioning the genocide type”. How predictable. And people wonder why the Germans didn’t speak out.
That was one hell of an easy ride for Neale Richmond—little to no pressure on him for the whole show.
Katie gave him free rein, giving him a nice platform to deliver his victim speech at the start. I would have loved to know what the alternative response to October 7th that he spoke about was. I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that it doesn't involve military action against Hamas. Great to see an Israeli person getting to speak on Irish television. I work with Israelis, and the abuse they receive in this country is appalling.
All bets are off with Trump now, so we may end up with Palestinians in Ireland. I've got a feeling a deal has already been made, and Europe will take in Palestinians for the duration of Gaza's rebuild. No need to worry, though—surely there'll be no shortage of Palestine supporters willing to open their doors to them?
I just have one final question about the undocumented Irish in the U.S.. Lynn Boylan brought up the issue a few times last night. What exactly is she expecting MM to do about them when he meets Trump? Would have liked Katie to ask her that also.
In fairness, he didn't get a chance to speak with Shatter showing his ignorance once again by shouting over everyone.
Absolutely, a family to each flag bearing household. Virtue signalling at its finest. Hop on a plane if you feel so strongly about it would be my answer to the flag wavers!
Europe, collectively should do everything in it's power to ensure Palestinians return to a habitable land.
Given that land is a major part in the conflict, taking the people from the land isn't going to solve the issue. Displacing Palestinians to Ireland, puts us in the middle of something we shouldn't have any business or desire to be in.
So roughly how many houses do you reckon that Darragh would have built last week if he hadn't been packing his toothbrush? Round your answer up to the nearest dozen, and don't forget to use your toes if you run out of fingers.
Not sure who Darragh is… I presume you mean James, as in James Browne, the current minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage?
Overall if he's too much of a coward to go on the national broadcaster and see the destruction his party has caused with their ongoing housing crisis plan I don't think he's building any houses for the foreseeable
But in fairness, his main voter base is landlords and property developers so keeping rents, homelessness rates and house prices high is a good idea for him. Not good for society but who cares about that, right?

Not really something that is off interest to me, so will be wondering if I will tune in.
On after the 2 Part of Skinny Jab Documentary ~ Kathryn Thomas
Tonight's show will be about 'what kind of men we want boys to look up to'.
The elephant in the room in that we send boys to primary school where less than 15% of their teachers are men is highly unlikely to come under the spotlight.
Will be interesting to see who will be on the panel.
The panel will be made up of menopausal women & effeminate men.
@Atlantic Dawn Love to know your source of information on this! Nothing on RTE website or social media about content/guests for tonight's show yet!
RTE Had a podcast on it, 19th March:-
Yes it was the announcer before the One O'Clock News on RTÉ1 who mentioned it. No mention of guests.
Conroy, who represented Ireland in the Olympics, was speaking to Katie Hannon on Upfront: The Podcast following the release of Netflix's Adolescence four-part series which has brought the topic of toxic masculinity back into the spotlight.Adolescence tells the fictional story of a 13-year-old schoolboy accused of murdering a female fellow pupil and has topped viewing charts around the world.

What kind of men do we want our boys looking up to? Amid calls for Netflix drama #Adolescence to be compulsory viewing in schools, we hear from columnist Jen Hogan, journalist Ben Scallan, teacher Eoghan Cleary and Fine Gael's Joe Neville. Watch at 10.35pm
Why the constant need to have GRIPT " ' journalist ' " on rte?
" ' journalist ' "
What's wrong with having Ben on the programme?
It's a bit of a stretch to suggest there is always someone from Gript on RTE.
