what the hell was that

ah ffs

One and done. A shambles, 3 minutes of a caller saying unlimited inflow of migrants into the country is great, no drawbacks.

Now it's moved on to Eurovision.

Today's show has gotten worse as it's gone on. Thankfully it's almost over.

A token couple of minutes on The Congo comments. Followed by Eurovision and a plug for Friday’s outside broadcast from The George. What a farce

The corridors of Montrose will be emptier

Back around 2009 Joe got in hot water for almost triggering a run on the banks. At least, back in those days he was talking about relevant things. A bit like a cat I used to own Joe was taken to the vets and his uh-hums chopped off. Since then he wasn't allowed talk about any controversial topics.

After Joe's trip to the vet, the program became bad but still entertaining. Today, and by today I mean recent Livelines, it's just bad.

Why are they doing a Funny Friday from the george. I know they are forty, but so are many other businesses around the country

Will Kieran be covering the late drama of the SPL tonight? Celtic win the game after a VAR review gives them a penalty for handball with the last play of the game. 3-2. What an end to the game. It changes everything on the last day of the season, Celtic still need to win. But it will be "easier" than had they not won tonight.

Speaking of penalties, the Munster U20 hurling final went to penalties after extra-time. The Clare goalkeeper was on fire saving 3 penalties and scoring one. His final and winning save was spectacular.

"RTÉ bosses insist ‘no one is panicking’ after the latest radio figures revealed thousands of listeners have switched off across every show on Radio 1 since the station overhauled its weekday schedule last November.

The latest JNLR figures show David McCullagh’s morning show took the biggest hit, losing 17,000 listeners since the last quarter. He now broadcasts to 423,000 daily.

Morning Ireland lost 15,000 listeners but remains the station’s biggest draw at 452,000 daily, while Kieran Cuddihy, who took over Liveline from Joe Duffy, lost 12,000 listeners and now hosts the show to an audience of 268,000.

Oliver Callan dropped 12,000 listeners to 296,000, while Louise Duffy, who replaced Ray D’Arcy, lost 13,000 and now has 145,000 tuning in daily. Drivetime lost 7,000 listeners, dropping to 211,000, and News at One shed 4,000 to sit at 275,000."

Kieran and the rest of them have a bit of work to do…

but there's no panic.
