Josephine (is that her name? Thought it was something else!) clearly knows her brief - but I heard her yesterday on PK, and today on SOR - and I don't think I've ever heard anyone do a worse job of trying to explain things.

I know how the system works, and I she's still managing to confuse me :eek:

Any examples, she seemed clear to me.

Terrible heavy breathing there - someone too close to a mic & maybe a dose of asthma?

I reckon Marie Louise cleared that Men's Shed quick enough.

She was saying that the men wanted to hear a woman's voice.. I'd say after about five minutes they were quickly reminded why they stayed bachelors in the first place..

Have to say I'm sick of all of Fianna Fáil mock "outrage".. All of the policing issues were there during their time, and not necessarily completed unrelated to the nod and wink, jobs for the boys culture that that particular bunch of FF Ministers brought with them.

Unfortunately the majority of Irish voters have forgotten that already.

Fianna fail raped and robbed the country, and they'll probably be voted in next election.

It was a remarkable discussion - particularly for the fact that Quinn was not the most extreme participant.

Yes I can. I tuned in at

"And some of those men are great SWINGERS!. They would grip you and just swing. Grip you so firmly you would be swinging up in Castlerea and halfway up the Dublin road"

I turned off then

Dancing on the radio... very Father Ted! :rolleyes:

artful_codger · 02-04-2014 09:53AM

I can't find a job, waaah.

What are you studying? "film and broadcasting".

My heart bleeds for the poor dear, living at home and unable to bring someone home for a sh@g.

Resignation of Rehab CEO decided at the weekend - announced this morning once the "exit package" had been agreed no doubt. Wonder what price her exit :rolleyes:

My understanding is that she's not "resigning" she's retiring. Subtle difference.

lots of retirings going on lately

A.J.Plumb · 02-04-2014 07:14PM

All in the so called public service...all around governance /greed issues.

They are probably isolated cases in fairness !

Does "fas man " still have the Audi 6 ?

Did Fingers get to keep the 1 million "bonus "

Is CRC man still getting the big "Pinsion "

Does County Manager chappie get to keep the proceeds of his house sale ?

Are the county managers still getting 40+ days holls ?

Are the guys who "approved" those fire trap apartments still in jobs.?

Etc...etc....etc....

Yeah....isolated cases .......MWhahahaha !

Callan57 · 03-04-2014 09:20AM

I sincerely hope people are listening to Stephen Donnelly - really can't believe the banks are starting it all over again.

neris · 03-04-2014 09:31AM

dublin commercial property market is getting back to the good aul days again. Rents are heading for greed levels again. We made offer for rent of a commercial premises and were told the landlord would hold out theyd get what they want in a few months time. Residential is already there by the sounds of it

I've just tuned in and I cant believe that the Real Estate Agents have started their old games again.. the biggest crash in history and nobody has done anything to stop these sliebhíns and their dirty tricks.. And still hiding behind the "well, our client instructed us to do it"... If they stood over that sort of behaviour then they are just as responsible..

Rather dumb landlord unless you were offering a huge amount less.

e.g. looking for 60k rent annual and offered 50k, wait three months = 12.5k lost for a potential 10k 'gain'

Some types of commercial property are unlikely to recover for ages too. Modern large floor plate offices in D2/4 might be flying out the door now but small units and older generation offices are not. A lot of first generation office space in converted housing is now being converted *back* to housing even.

making travellers a separate ethnic group will finally make them completly untouchable

comongethappy · 03-04-2014 09:50AM

Will this have the unforseen consequence of legalising every illegal traveller encampment?
(If distinct ethnicity is recognised by law & ergo becomes a de-facto right).

Thanks Sinn Feinn.

CountyHurler · 03-04-2014 09:50AM

Missus, can I have a look at that giant list of contributions that the Travelling Community have made to Irish society? Because from what I see it's take, take, take..

SEPT 23 1989 · 03-04-2014 09:58AM

settled people cause a lot more problems than travellers??????

have 29% of the settled community gone through the prison system?

CountyHurler · 03-04-2014 09:58AM

Why is it always somebody else's fault... It's the State's fault my son committed suicide, It's the State's (and HSA's) that we cant drive out horse and carts on the road like maniacs without tax or insurance, it's the State's fault that I dont have a luxury caravan on a brand new halting site with all facilities for free, It's the state's fault that they dont provide a mobile school to follow us around and teach our children so that they get a good education.

It's about time somebody in the Travelling community took responsibility for the own situation.

I wonder will Sean cover the murder trial of the traveller man from Sligo? No of course not.

mickydoomsux · 03-04-2014 10:02AM

I'm seething listening to this.

This one on about wanting her 50 grandchildren to have somewhere to live but not having to wait on the housing list is infuriating. Also she wants them to be put in houses that aren't in an estate with settled people.

We've built it into these people that they have a "culture" so they can do what they like and expect everything on a silver platter but feel they shouldn't have to participate in society at all.

I don't understand. In what specific way would giving legal recognition to the fact that they fulfill the essential characteristics of a distinct ethnic group make them "untouchable"?

Another one that won't be travelling for a while........

A 30-year-old man who severely beat a pensioner and left him tied up in his home after a robbery has been found guilty of murder and jailed for life.
Simon McGinley of Connaughton Road, Sligo had admitted manslaughter but denied murdering 67-year-old Eugene Gillespie at his home in September 2012.
He also admitted false imprisonment and robbery at his home in Old Market Street, Sligo.
