    I think Miriam o'Callaghan is not suited to political television. In fact, I think she is more out of place in political television than Pat Kenny was on the Late Late!

    She doesn't seem to be able think on her feet and all her questions seem rehearsed or read from a cue card. She doesn't seem to know much about politics or to be that interested in it. I never seen her corner any politician in fact I think half of them must be counting their lucky stars she's interviewing them.

    I feel strongly about this. I'd love to watch more PrimeTimes as I think it's a superb program but I can't deal with MOC. She useless at chairing debates and usually looses all control or allows speakers to not answer questions and goes off on tangents.

    I wish RTE would put someone more capable in what is a very important role.
    Someone whose passionate about politics, reads a lot and is just smart. Remember Oliva O'Leary, Brian Farrell, John Bowman and Pat Cox. All superb.

    David McCullogh looks like he'd be much more capable than MOC. Or out of all the journalists, political scientists there must be someone better than MOC.

    What thinks ye?


    Not suitable for tv full stop
    face pulled and irritating voice

    hopefully she will continue to be over exposed and end up like Carrie Crowley

    Is Gaybo still on TV or radio? He used to be pretty capable in the Late Late role years ago.
    he comes back whenever the investments turn out to be a cock up !

    I've lost all respect for her the way she attacked Martin McGuinness, the RTE employs stupid people to discuss things they aren't big on. Like that Ryan Tubridy, when he interviewed people like Gerry Adams etc, they were just too smart for him.

    And during the presidential election he asked some of the most pointless questions.

    She is pretty crap compared to the other guy on Prime Time. I do think she is intentionally soft on people with certain political backgrounds.

    Although maybe it is just anyone not in Sinn Fein.

    I agree. I just don't get what others do with her. Very robotic and staged, and no charisma whatsoever. To think she was being touted for the Late Late.

    Though, TUBRIDY?:eek:
