    It might be easier to post when she's not on the radio.

    Why would you want to put a watch on Mammy.?

    She says nothing, and does nothing of any consequence.

    I thought Mammy was great on the Sunday Supplement on Today FM last Sunday. Pulling no punches when it came to Child Abuse.

    She has been part of the Govt. for the last 14 years.. what has she done?

    Please outline in detail Mammy's list of things done in relation to child abuse over the last 10 years??

    Over to to Mr EFB... the floor is .......YOURS

    Mammy I think was the term Bull Island coined for her.

    Flutterin seemed to get very flustered with my post earlier :oops: all I meant was I was impressed with her piece on today fm that day, didn't realize it meant I'd stopped short of cannonising her! Since FF sold her down the river in 2002, she is alot more outspoken on things, but then again sure she works like a black...

    " January 2006 O'Rourke received the party nomination to stand at the 2007 general election. She narrowly defeated her nearest rival and Dáil election running mate, Kevin Boxer Moran of Athlone Town Council, causing a controversy when she described her political team as working "like blacks."[3] In May 2007 she was re-elected to the Dáil at the 2007 general election with her highest ever vote."

    She's everywhere, on Sunday Supplement right now, was on Hooky a few days ago also on RTE or Last Word during the week. I presume she gets paid for her time, so she must be coining it.

    Or not - when O'Brien asked her what was going on in FG her answer was 'I don't know'. That didn't stop her opinionating for a few minutes though!

    I'm sick to the back teeth of Granny O'Rourke the school marm who always has an explanation for everything! If she was as good at doing as at talking while she was a Government minister we might have a better country now.

    And radio producers take note: listeners want to hear NEW voices, not the same old same old time & time again.
