You seem to be forgetting that this is Ireland. We love arguing about things and hate actually doing anything, especially if it involves conceding to the other persons point of view.
Brendan Behan famously said that the first thing on the agenda of any Irish organisation is the split. He understood the Irish psyche only too well

Why do irish parents have 3 or 4 kids in quick succesion then give out about how stressful it is

Callan57 · 29-08-2014 10:20AM

The whining, whinging teachers are back after their loooooooooooong summer holidays

artful_codger · 01-09-2014 09:37AM

Why is this taking priority over everything else going on in the world?

It belongs on Liveline.

Callan57 · 01-09-2014 10:39AM

Oh the cruelty of the interview replay - Fiona Looney clearly knows a lot about football, almost as much as Joe Brolly :rolleyes:

mrsdewinter · 01-09-2014 10:43AM

Switched off during that item about craft beer. The way he rushed Martina Devlin through her book, I thought World War 3 was after breaking out and he had to go to a news flash. No, just some hipster beer...

I like the way he repeated the statement last week from Fiona Looney that "Dublin was the greatest GAA football team EVER"... :pac:

"Well, one's pretty bad, but you figure you gotta have two so the little guy can have a brother or sister, right? Then you have two boys, and the wife says she want a girl so you figure "Hell, three can't be much worse than two", right? What you don't realize is your brain is fried 'cause you haven't slept. After three, four is no big deal. You're so deep in it, nothin' seems to matter any more. It's chaos. You're just tryin' to make it through each day alive. In the end you spend all the energy you have left tryin' to get 'em into bed only to lie awake prayin' they don't get hooked on drugs, hurt, or worse... wind up dead in an alley somewhere."

You're not a refugee, you're an asylum seeker on the game. If the government establish that you are genuinely fleeing persecution, then you're classed as a refugee.

He just called Sean, Pat.

Fergus Finlay on talking about children coming to school without breakfast and having to provide breakfast clubs. Well maybe he should have a chat to his mates in the Labour party about that. When their water tax hits us in a couple of months there'll be even more children in the queue at breakfast clubs. He does a lot of good through Bernardos but I hate the way interviewers always forget that he is also the elder statesman of the Labour Party.

It's like that Fine Gael TD Brendan Griffin making a big deal about doing his fancy ice bucket challenge, when a few months ago, he was part of a political party who were taking medical cards away from MND patients. Absolute hypocrites.

The system forces people in to prostitution?... The state puts them up and gives them a few quid.. We're a country who are now having to emigrate all of our young but still put a roof over these people's head, a damned sight more than their own country did..

signostic · 02-09-2014 10:25AM

Two doctors with different views on concussion...

CountyHurler · 02-09-2014 10:57AM

Disappointed that Sean didnt read out the question I texted in..
"Why did you get shot of the red lad?"

Pity it takes so long for the state to decide on applications

Many victims of crime don't want a face-to-face with an unrepentant career criminal. Get this crazy old hippie off the radio.

The church used to attract bleeding heart nutjob Marxists like her years ago, now it's quangos and NGO's.

I imagine there are lots of criminals who would "get off" on this kind of an encounter with their victim.

Harry Angstrom · 05-09-2014 09:53AM

Listening to Aodhan O'Riordan there, the man sounds so indecisive, it probably takes him an hour every morning to choose which socks to wear.

sudzs · 05-09-2014 10:26AM

Oh sweet baby jesus, what are they doing to that beautiful piece of music! :eek:

How does Mary Hanifan get so much air time on RTE?

Bits_n_Bobs · 05-09-2014 10:45AM

Pat Rabitte "mossoging" the figures in a desperate linguistic attempt to climb further up his own orse

I'd imagine a lot of her naivety would be gone after what happened to her.

I was referring to her assumption that a determined suicidal driver could somehow magically be stopped

Fair enough. Really anything that should be done should be before a suicidal person gets into a car.

Callan57 · 08-09-2014 10:00AM

You have to kinda feel for Michaél Martin - Hanafin with a knife at his back & as usual she has total amnesia regarding her own responsibility in the cabinet that destroyed this country. Ah yes, sure that's all ancient history for someone with multiple state guaranteed pensions. :rolleyes:
