Bad as she is, I would prefer her to the other woman. Sounds like a right harridan!

Kathy Sheridan is brilliant! Won't hear a word against her.

I like reading her articles but not listening to her.

Why is everyone saying that Van Persie is out of the running for tonight because he's injured and can't turn up for the ceremony?

That's about the fifth time I've heard it said since yesterday.

It may be a two-horse race, but surely it's nothing to do with whether he's there or not.

I really, really hope that Stephanie does it!

Given up on that Sean O'Rourke again - I've lost count of the number of political items he's covered recently and mostly Fianna Fail politics. Talk about reverting to type. Don't mind a bit of political intrigue but there's a limit!

Why does that lady keep saying "marriage is the only relationship that brings children into the world" having already accepted that it is (of course) not the ONLY relationship. She needs to think through her argument in more depth IMO

Some people would find it very inconvenient if they were only able to make arguments they'd thought through to a logical conclusion. Much better to just peddle whatever it is that people are buying. And there's clearly a market for some line of blather that'll help people vote no, and simultaneously put a few extra words in between "the gays" and "are terribly bad and immoral".

I think she is good as well... She's very clear and concise.. But I can see how she might be seen to be "preachy" at times.

Callan57 · 13-01-2015 10:53AM

Wasn't that the old Jewish area of Dublin?

IvyTheTerrible · 13-01-2015 10:55AM

Why doesn't Paddy ask them if being insulted by a cartoon justifies killing people?

sudzs · 13-01-2015 11:05AM

"Stephanie looked great"

Why was that the first thing he could say about the sportswoman??? :mad:

It's the first thing a lot of people say about women in lots of fields, unfortunately.

Thought he was quite chauvinistic and condescending in the space of a few words , SEan was as blind to it as he was .

Oops69 · 14-01-2015 11:19AM

Brian DoWling can't even give the results of an opinion poll without garbling up the numbers into an incomprehensible mish- mash and sean needing to repeat all the numbers, then he goes on about them as if theres some great relevations within.

CountyHurler · 15-01-2015 10:13AM

Not impressed by this guy at all...

Are there off the shelf packages that could do the job?
I'm sure there are ...

Callan57 · 15-01-2015 11:08AM

How stupid are people?
Predicting the weather is by it's nature an inexact science - count yourself lucky if the worst of the storm passed you & stop whinging.

sudzs · 15-01-2015 11:48AM

Poor Seth is about to pass out!!

...just tuned in, who is he?

Callan57 · 15-01-2015 11:48AM

Wow! Getting very heated & our law society very, very defensive

EmptyTree · 15-01-2015 11:50AM

Seth's argument is being completely undermined, listening to him becoming so exasperated is hilarious.

Oops69 · 15-01-2015 11:58AM

Is sean going to cover the real issues of the day at some point ?e.g Honohan at the banking enquiry , instead of this amateur 'century ireland ' and crap pretend news bulletins from 1915 , awful rubbish .

For those who didn't hear it, could ye please enlighten us? Somebody debating with the Law Society? How did it turn out?

Was that the garda guy? Has to be a programne they can get and modify to suit ireland however the problem wont be getting a new system it,ll be trying to get gardai to use it without whinging about change or their unions looking for more pay. Dont forget in this country the public service always need an incentive to change even if it makes easier and more modern

DDP read out the RedC poll on the Six-One and read Labour's 8% as "18". Which really would have been news. No correction by either himself on the desk-jockeys.

Maybe RTE needs to invest in some entity able to read numbers off a piece of paper. Like say, a speak-your-weight machine.

Sean is filleting Joan Burton live on air. Tune in quick. She is getting her arse handed to her as he is destroying the usual vague non-committed bullsh1t she has relied on to spoof her way through the last 30 years in politics. He is asking her for specific details and she can't provide anything.

Stuck at work, hopefully will catch podcast later.

You can't beat a good Sean O'Rourke beatdown of a politician. He seems to save them up and then, boom goes the dynamite, and the politician is found out.

Unbelievable

He's having to force her for at least one straight answer.

O'Rourke asked will the promise of 5,000 social houses in 2015 be met.

She drags in Sinn Fein,O'Rourke asks the same question again...

She is too busy making an election spiel.

touts · 16-01-2015 10:31AM

Finished and gone to the ad-break. I'd say things are fairly frosty in the studio now. She doesn't strike me as a woman who likes being challenged and she just got badly exposed. The poor assistant who scheduled the interview is in for a bollocking in the back of the Merc on the way back to Government buildings.

Best bit of radio I've heard in ages. I'll bet she left with her head buzzing,she couldn't think of anything to say:eek:. Blame everybody else, well Joan,for my money you have put your own grave in the footpath outside every house in the country. Labour me hole !

CountyHurler · 16-01-2015 11:15AM

Terrible to think that there is no money in the country for that woman and her sick child, but all these useless f**kwits get free legal aid, dont have to pay fines, get the dole / medical cards...

CountyHurler · 16-01-2015 11:39AM

Do RTE always have to facilitate this self indulgent, self promoting, shameless woman??

Terrible to think that probably one of Mary Hannafin's pensions would solve a lot for that sick child. :mad::mad:
