My god the lack of empathy regarding these people on this thread is sickening... They are in their sixties for god sake, bit late for getting a job to save for a deposit to buy their own place.

Mrs Coyne is only 61, she was in her mid 50's when they were first told to get out of that house, in 2009, so yeah, why not get a job?

Somewhat unfair - they were aware of the rental conditions in Ireland when they rented the property (I don't agree with our rental terms but that's a differnt issue) and it's not as if the request to vacate was dropped on them this morning. Trying it on IMO

Pat's using the same logic regarding Kerins and Flannery that he used to use to defend his humongous RTE salary. It's a hang-up of his.

He's wary of the dire prospect of ending up being left making Pat Niemöller's Lament. "First they came for the property developers, and I said nothing; then they came for the "charity" gougers and their Contractual Entitlements, and again, I said nothing; when they came for me..."

Of course, all the while giving out yards about the "protected" public sector.

I wish they'd just get on with it and build that children's hospital somewhere, anywhere. Today's kids will be drawing their old age pensions by the time it gets built. I doubt they had the same sort of trouble when they were developing Great Ormond Street in London :rolleyes:

Bits_n_Bobs · 29-08-2014 10:21AM

The issue with almost any large piece of infrastructure, such as the children hospital is that experience has demonstrated our public service is generally either inept, incompetent or plain corrupt when it comes to these projects.

The amount of obfuscation and lack of clarity surrounding this project screams of 'business as usual'.

One good thing about the Dubs being beaten, it means Pat won't have he's yearly love in with Bertie bags of cash ahern.

foxtrot101 · 02-09-2014 10:38AM

Pat is very gung ho about the lives of irish soliders from the safety of his radio studio.

Yakuza · 02-09-2014 11:27AM

I agree, I thought he was very cavalier with their safety, and seemed to be a bit holier-than-thou. Grab a Steyr, Pat, put on some fatigues and head on over!

ButtersSuki · 03-09-2014 10:50AM

Potential legal problems here for these contributors!

Edit: Pat cut that off fairly quickly!

brooke 2 · 03-09-2014 10:53AM

'Liddle!!'

They call themselves 'Leedle!!'

Lapin · 03-09-2014 10:54AM

Is this Del Boy's Cork cousin on here?

Buying tomatos from Lidl and selling them through the English Market to local restaurants.

A complete piss take but brilliant all the same.

That English Market is up it's own backside anyway, but in fairness if I was buying something there I'd expect it come from local sources other than Lidl.

Aldi are nearer and their tomatos are nicer !

ButtersSuki · 03-09-2014 10:56AM

Here we go again - lol! Pat cutting the interview off for legal reasons!

CountyHurler · 03-09-2014 10:56AM

lol.. he's taking brown envelopes..

ButtersSuki · 03-09-2014 10:59AM

Pat O'Connor (if that was his name) will be visiting his solicitor in about 5 minutes after that interview.

Pat - says "OLdi" instead of Aldi :pac:

ButtersSuki · 03-09-2014 11:05AM

That was truly bizarre, more in line with the crazy heights of Lahv Lahn lunacy than Pat Kenny.

Robert2012 · 03-09-2014 11:08AM

Interesting allegations about "fish being dragged along the floor" of the English Market, and "brown envelopes".

Don't think Queen Elizabeth would be too impressed with that!

Harry Angstrom · 03-09-2014 11:22AM

Feck. I missed that segment about the English Marketeers and I doubt the podcast will have it in full now

CountyHurler · 03-09-2014 11:28AM

Is that the chap with the moustache from the Dolmio ad?

What I garnered from the discussion ... Cork people, they're a bad lot..

CountyHurler · 03-09-2014 11:31AM

lol... Pat's statement to reassure everybody that there is nothing fishy about his business..

Didn't hear the interview but if it's the fish guy I think it's o Connell.

Must admit I haven't a clue what prompted the whole thing.... it's all slightly bizarre..... reminds me of when Joe Duffy starts at the end of a story and doesn't bother telling you what the start of it is.....

A distinct note of panic in Pat's voice there!!

No wonder Pat was trying to shut him up!! I wonder if the fishmonger's solicitors
have been on to Newstalk yet?

vidor · 04-09-2014 09:05AM

Grangegorman is actually open? Incredible.

Bits_n_Bobs · 04-09-2014 09:06AM

Lead article a child being savaged by a dog...Pat's moving into Joe Duffy territory....off to SOR with me.

Yakuza · 04-09-2014 09:31AM

And followed by the saucy misadventures of the French President...shocking lowbrow stuff altogether.

Iranoutofideas · 04-09-2014 09:51AM

That journalist is such a hypocrite - ragging on RT News and then saying propoganda is unseen in western media. Someone should introduce him to Fox and Sky news lol
