Joe Duffy seems to think he's the star of the show when it is blatantly obvious, for the four months, or so each year he's absent from the show, that the audience stays the same.

The Producer decides who is on air, Joe's job is to listen and ask questions. He is not a good listener and he asks ridiculous questions. I thought his behaviour and attitude with the poor Russian artist who was disfigured by the knife wielding attacker was disgraceful. For a victim trying to recover from such a horrendous attack she could well have done without Joe graphically recalling each and every injury to her hands.

The show does just as well whether it's Damien O'Reilly, Philip BH, Derek Davis, or whoever, hosting it. Joe is over-paid by something in the region of €250k p.a.

Evelyn O' Rourke did bring the show to new depths when she presented it. Liveline was a regular visitor to the BCI under her stewardship.

I still wince when I recall how she used to pick a side and then use the word "we" when addressing the other side of the discussion.

pc7 · 15-11-2011 02:04PM

There are millions of anomolies in the irish army!

yosser hughes · 15-11-2011 02:04PM

I'm finding it very difficult to have any sympathy for these people. Am I a bad person?
Of course Joe is just using their story for his own purposes.

"in the leb":rolleyes:

bijapos · 15-11-2011 02:05PM

Army lads on whingeing about pensions.

With all due respect someone with 21 years of service would be 39 years of age probably and we, the taxpayer give them €14,300 per annum for leaving the army and getting a job in the public service until they are 68.

Anyone else think this is madness?

giftgrub · 15-11-2011 02:10PM

Half the Ushers in the Dail are ex army lads...useless f***ers every last one of them.

I had to deliver something there once...once yer man finished reading his herald he kind of shuffled around and then tried to operate the this strange devcice called a "Phone".

Maybe she re-mortgaged to buy an investment property in Bulgaria. She won't mention that.
