Conor Brady also thinks a report is required.

Report? Bucket of whitewash?.......what's the difference , (except the cost, of course).

Lots of reports.

Lots of 'lessons learned'

Zero action.

Jaysus this is fairly ad hoc isnt it.. Worst advice since Jim Power was last on the show..

Harry Angstrom · 17-02-2014 11:18AM

These security analysts/experts/correspondents take themselves way too seriously.

All of them? All of the time? In relation to every issue?

I thought Tom Clonan's comments today were on the mark.

If the issue in question wasn't as serious as it is I might have agreed with you.

This issue could hardly be more serious - goes right to the heart of the state & frankly it amazes me more people aren't concerned

Harry Angstrom · 17-02-2014 11:52AM

Jaysus, you'd think they'd be able to get an RTE audio clip with better sound quality.

neris · 17-02-2014 01:21PM

the more i hear that Tom Clonan guy the more i think he knows about whats going on but just doesnt have the proof to put it out in public. this whole things just shown what contempt the garda commisionar has for the citizens of this country. 30 years ago somthing liek this would have brought a goverment down but labour are on such a power trip that they wouldnt walk out of a coalition

I would have to say that I was surprised at the certainty the the GC had that there was no Garda involvement..

Was putting himself right on on a ledge if he was proved wrong.

People usually dont go out that far without some inside information.

Is it just me, or has the level of paper shuffling being picked up by the Mics increased recently? And it's not just SOR's show, but across all talk stations and many different presenters. Can anything be done? Like changing the microphone positioning, or use a different quality paper that won't rustle quite as much? When will the Tablet finally replace the A4 sheet in the studio?

Callan57 · 19-02-2014 10:44AM

Pure in Heart - after watching Quirke on Sunday night I really do not need this

No the signature tune of the show..it seems more akin to the previous Today with PK

Looks like Audrey Carvill has borrowed Seans watch. She had the 'beeps' at 11pm.

touts · 24-02-2014 11:32AM

Jasus the religious brigade are in again. Your one from the IONA got 20 minutes of "Poor poor me! It's so so tough being a homophobe. Poor Poor me!" with Marian on Saturday morning and now this one from Pure in Heart is getting one of the softest interviews I've ever heard from Sean. Some lawer must have really scared the **** out of RTE because since the Saturday Night show it's been wall to wall Holy Catholic Ireland.

It was very soft wasn't it, she was let deflect every criticism with the response something along the lines of "Well we don't concentrate on that particular area" or whatever she was saying.

Sean O'Rourke missed a golden opportunity to expose this Pure in Heart lot for the old-style Catholic zealots that they are. He didn't ask why they use the term 'pure' in their name and equating purity with sexual abstinence. They are implying that people who engage in sex without the official sanction of the Catholic Church are inherently 'impure', or just bad people.
I don't understand why they get access to schools to propagate their narrow religious obsessions.
It's the old Catholic mantra that the only real sin is sex and everyone must be made to feel guilty about it!

"Lighting the orange shouldnt set off the fire extinguisher"..

That's a fairly fancy fire extinguisher O'Rourke has, isnt it.

I've only just noticed it over the past few days (I flick between SO'R and PK depending on the topic) but the hourly "beep beep" is very irritating. Doesn't the studio have a (very accurate) wall clock that he can look at?

Callan57 · 25-02-2014 11:11AM

Ah no I love the old watch alarm .. really addicted to it at this stage, look forward to it on the hour
(I know, I should get a life)
