PK@rte.ie (again). The All New (Patrick Kielty) Late Late Show Thread

If they become part of a united Ireland then yes they will be. There maybe a period which the UK would have to be a part of to get stuff squared and get them in an Stormont may be there for that.

But ongoing the country of Ireland will have to have 1 government over all of it otherwise yes all provinces will look for there own like the area once called N.i have it

So not a united Ireland 2. If we have a united Ireland 1 country 1 parliament 1 rule

I disagree once transition is done

I dont think it was part of a smear campaign for reasons of confidentially I'll not go into here. But I understand their feelings as someone who grew up in a political household during the troubles and the sort of info I was fed during that time. If you have a look at most outlets circa the Ni elections you will see that sf had community outreach and given the geography of Belfast it wount be hard for them to cross community lines. Also its known that meds can be delivered cross border in times of emergency, so I'm not surprised this happened.

I feel like any version of Rocky Road to Dublin will pale in comparison to version in The Sinners…
(don't watch if you don't want to be spoiled re: movie plot)

Im a fan of Kielty because it its someone from outside the traditional RTE presenters. Some of the others have ties to the political parties, and I prefer journalism to be objective.

The problem with TLLS is it becomes more of that DWTS preview. Now potential this year TLLS will move away from this, but this week Jenny Z is up, okay its not for DWTS, but I am sure she will talk about all of that on the show, not just the podcast.

I wouldn't be surprised if Pico and Carrie end up on DWTS, while Carrie is promoting her own new show, not sure if that is with TG4, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is on RTÉ.

2 weeks ago Laura Fox was on the show to promote Ireland's Fittest Family but also she's the new co-host of DWTS.

The problem TLLS has is that it is no longer a 2 hour show and it has less episodes, so these DWTS interludes make it seem more and more like PK arrives in RTÉ on Friday Morning and get Breakfast with 5 RTÉ stars and he decides based on their choice of breakfast

The scoring

Full Irish - 12 points

Continental - 10 points

No pudding on a Full Irish - 6 points

Just a cup of tea - 3 points

Breakfast with the stars - 100 points.

Indeed for example if TLLS had wanted last week the interview with Holly Cairns would been a panel with Cairns, McDowell, And advocate of the spoil the vote and a Fianna Failer (Get Jim Gavin on haha), with audience participation. Instead when got Holly repeating her stance on the election from what she had said on the Election programme on RTÉ, and we had a dull interview when you might have had something interesting on the show, and yes you might disagree with some of the people on the panel but at least you could have had a broader discussion.

Instead it is play it safe, I often think about the debate on Scientology (You can find it on Youtube) and think you'd never get that on TLLS now.
