I'm sorry but that is not even close to what these Nuns did. I'm no fan of Bertie and what he did to the country but these Nuns basically allowed (by action or inaction) hundreds of babies to die and then threw them into mass graves. That is evil. Pure and simple evil and something must be done to hunt these women and their orders down and bring them to justice no matter what their age now or what good they claimed to be doing.

Why do posters keep calling it a mass grave, The kids were thrown into a septic tank, they were not buried, the so called nuns did not have the decency to bury the children.

Not likely that they were going to pay for funerals and of course the usual deafening silence from these great paragons of Christian virtue. They have shamed and disgraced this country again & they haven't the decency to face up to their actions - cowards.

You do know that the Catholic church were ordered to pay compensation to the victims of child abuse?

And that Bertie ahern used state money to pay a vast percentage of that compensation on behalf of the catholic church!

And the small bit of compensation left for the catholic church to pay, they still haven't paid it!

And Sean worrying about him using a mobile phone while driving a sulky

constitutionus · 10-06-2014 09:41AM

And hands the phone over to the driver who's patently still driving it

washiskin · 10-06-2014 09:42AM

This is in danger of turning into an Adrian Kennedy type discussion.....

constitutionus · 10-06-2014 09:46AM

He thought only himself n marrion could afford that

Harry Angstrom · 10-06-2014 09:47AM

I hope the CAB and Revenue commissioners are listening to this.

constitutionus · 10-06-2014 09:52AM

Yeah didn't think this lad would have a prob with "normal" racing . Half his doctor mates prob own a few

Have to say I can't stop smiling after that one. Didn't go the way I expected at all.

Ya can see a few revenue heads perking up after those revelations

Ah sure aren't they "the lowest economic section of our society" ... sure they are with 10,000 to put on a horse.
Revenue & Social Welfare listening I HOPE! :rolleyes:

artful_codger · 10-06-2014 10:26AM

I'd love to shove a pot noodle down this ones throat.

Everything is homemade and twee in her World.

There is a word called cannot. It's called cannot.

Everytime Sean says MLOD is next I switch over to Lyric .. and again today I missed whatever came after her because I forgot to switch back :mad: I really wish she'd disappear up her own pomposity.

What is the point of conversations like this? Children take up time and energy. It's a fact of life. If they want a full blown career, don't have kids. End of.

I always find this amusing (to a point) - nobody worries about the women trying to balance having kids and maybe a career cleaning offices or working in the local supermarket! What about their life balance? A very middle class concept life balance isn't it? :rolleyes:

Yes but why is this not an issue for men? They are the fathers but no-one asks them how they balance child care and career.

Olwyn Enright is married to a fellow politician. They could have easily swapped parenting/career roles if they wanted to.

"IT'S NOT A PARLOUR GAME!"

CountyHurler · 12-06-2014 10:27AM

Does EVERYBODY in RTE have a book they are trying to promote..?? RTE give a half hour to promote their old pal Joe O'Connor, in spite of their guest attempting to flog everything he has written since he was 10 years old.. I'm only surprised he didnt try to sell us the colour telly he has up on Adverts... And then Cahill, purportedly the sportsreader, tries to flog us a GAA book from one of his pals. Up next Clodagh Walsh promoting her book on the history of newsreading (edited by Myles Dungan)...

On another note, this whole discussion of the poll has been an unmitigated mess, hasnt it... Not impressed by that northern guy at all..

CountyHurler · 12-06-2014 02:04PM

Whatever about the Government having a majority in that banking commission, how does anybody think it makes sense to have ANY Fianna Fáil members of it??? To be honest there should not be any politicians on such a committee, because as we see from their efforts this morning, none of them are objective (or mature) enough to sit on such an investigation.

Harry Angstrom · 13-06-2014 09:16AM

The Duffmeister won't be happy. Sean is encroaching on his misery territory.

IvyTheTerrible · 13-06-2014 09:23AM

Never got to hold her baby, how cruel.

SEPT 23 1989 · 13-06-2014 09:54AM

So children's adventure books now have to have a supervisor as a character or it wont be believed by kids:(

touts · 13-06-2014 09:55AM

Poor Sean is getting his ass kicked on this. "Humph! Challenges? Why don't you try doing a film on the toughest cycle race in the world!". "Well I've got an actor playing him so I can't show his face from the archives!". "Have you got any suggestions!".
