Sean O'Rourke Today Show

Well the story goes that the families have serious involvement in crime and causing absolute havoc... I remember back in the old days when your local Sinn Féin representative would have this thing sorted out very quickly..

Wouldn't be a fan of the Springs or Labour but he wiped the floor with Ming.

Ryan lives in fantasy land

Ming is usually a much better performer but god he was rambling and incoherent today. It sounded like he has been enjoying the benefits of liberal Europe.

New baby keeping him up all night - sleep deprivation? :cool:

In fairness to Ming, this is an issue that personally affects him. It can't be much fun having a new-born baby and not being able to use tap water to clean him/her. It's hard not to blame him for getting a bit emotional, and his point about being told to "shut up" by one of Spring's party colleagues when trying to question John Tierney a few months back is absolutely spot on now.

Straight after Spring slaughtered Ming, Colm McCarthy is now giving Eamon Ryan one hell of a beating on the economic costs of "green" energy. Today's show is a bit like Thunderdome. Two men enter! One man leaves!

It was a good old fashioned filleting right enough, something Sean used to do regularly on The News at One, now sadly not so much....

His wishy-washy interview with Mary Coughlan a few months back being a classic example of this softer approach.

Advisors that are "highly intelligent" & "whip smart" = arrogant knowalls seriously lacking is common sense.

I'd suggest to Enda that he show the door to these "whip smart" advisors & take in a couple of grass-root operators who have an ear to the ground & a handle on what the "man/woman in the street" is prepared to swallow.

I'd love to have heard the conversation between Enda and his "expert" advisors before the John McNulty debacle. Even a monkey would have copped on that appointing him to the board of IMMA would have blown up in their faces, but they still went ahead with. I can't figure out if it's sheer arrogance or sheer stupidity on their part.

Lucozade laundering, now thats a new one

did you hear that today??

I initially thought it was a spoof. I mean, as long as the Lucozade isn't 10 years out of date, it should be okay. It's not exactly going to cause botulism or anything

I wonder will the Ballyhea Bondholding man Diarmuid O'Flynn be allowed back on the show. Naughty man, always banging on about the bad choices being made on our behalf. Despite Seans efforts to gag him Diamuid made his point but I wonder will many do as I did and look up his blog to find out just what a two faced liar Michael Noonan has turned out to be.

What an extraordinary young girl?

Indeed. And I'll bet the Guards have a very good idea who these guys are but thanks to the near impossible standards of proof demanded these days they won't have a hope of lifting them unless they catch them in the act.

Eamon Ryan again this morning ... is he camped out in the carpark at RTE?
