Hospital of choice for middle class southsider pregnancies for the most part. RTE being based slap bang in the middle of that catchment area.

This story is so sad. I'm not married, and the idea that someone with "moral authority" could take my son away from me without my consent just sickens me. And those children grew up thinking their mothers didn't want them. It's just so cruel.

Even if it was "different times" nevertheless a huge level of deliberate cruelty & inhumanity was displayed by these so-called christians.

Paddy O'Gorman hanging around outside a gay bar. This should be a good laugh.

Anyone know if Paddy's dog is gay?

The country is awash, not with floods, but country and western shtick.

MLOD I gone ... thank God for Gold

fangurl Mary Louise O'Donnell... Nathan Carter seems like a nice guy, and a good singer, but he's just a good country singer... He's not the music revolutionary that MLOD seems to think..

Why does everything she does have to be exaggerated so much??

tayto lover · 04-02-2014 01:23PM

MLOD is like a good magician - she can make people disappear.

Because she's a balloon.

Whenever I hear the IONA lads on the radio opposing Gay marraige on the grounds that "Only a mother and father is the perfect environment to raise children" it strikes me that pretty much the same argument was used back in the 60s to take children off unmarried women and widowed fathers and either sell them to rich families or into the clutches of abusive priests and brothers in institutions. Apparently being buggered and beaten by a priest was better for the kids than being raised by a single parent or, god forbid, a loving gay couple.

Yeah. I hate that argument, I mean I know people who were brought up by a "happily" married straight couple who were completely miserable.

I would wager that very, very few (if any) children are reared by "perfect" parents regardless of what genders or combination of genders the parents are.
I really hate how these IONA self appointed know-alls bring out the very very worst in me. Their arrogant smugness & intolerance send my BP into dangerous territory.

hard not to smash the radio against the wall listening to this pius fool

SEPT 23 1989 · 07-02-2014 11:52AM

the horrors the church has been through

what about the kids Ronan?

neris · 07-02-2014 01:33PM

Just heard a short few seconds today. That senator Ronan mullen fella ontificating about how UN organisations that arent involved in peace keeping are dodgy. Unlike the pure moral organisation like the church i suppose.

Also who is this ronan mullen fella and what makes him so high and mighty that he can tell others how to live?

Self appointed morality police :eek:

The first segment of today's programme dealt with the bugging of the GSOC. I was impressed by the way SO'R dealt with it. He was focused, and let the story speak for itself. Sean did not editorialise or comment on the story. The restraint of a true journalist.

While Pat Kenny did a lot of good jpurnalism when he was in the programme, I cannot imagine Pat being so restrained.

Really excellent journalism this morning, I felt.

Marco Herbst and GSK open a mosquito museum in Dublin?? Would they not be better funding treatment for people infected with malaria? I don't see the point of this item.

Was just coming on to say the same thing! Good PR for GSK I suppose.

Though I find a malaria museum in Grafton St a bit ridiculous.

Ohmigod, the show is falling apart!!! Where did Sean go there??? I thought we would be left with the agony aunt to host the rest of the show!!

Happyman42 · 10-02-2014 11:30AM

Dang...I thought she could have at least contributed a clanger!

I have no great interest in listening to an agony aunt but surely this was very unprofessional, extremly rude to the interviewee & embarrassing for the listeners. Sean really should have moved on to something else if they had technical difficulties & come back to this topic when things were sorted out.

endas donkey · 12-02-2014 10:59AM

more green propaganda being pumped out today with uber manhater(sorry feminist) now turned green expert Germaine Greer. Just left to talk without any challenge. Pat Kenny on the other side is just as bad. Day after day of this crap.

Did we not learn a lesson when six of these idiots were in the government and all the damage they did.

Himself and Ronan Collins had a laugh about it when it went off at 12 o clock.
