Sean O'Rourke Today Show

That interview with the teachers rep reminds me of all the times my teachers told me to "read the question" and make sure you are answering the question asked ... this guy wants to answer everything except what he is asked

An Taisce: Well off Dubliners blocking economic development in Rural Ireland since 1948.

That struck me too, how many hours of protracted debate and discussion has to go into these disputes.

It's the same as the HSE , these guys would talk till hell froze over and nobody would be any closer to actually knowing what exactly they want other than more money.

I don't know what station it was on this morning but the interviewer was asking "how many teachers lost their jobs due to incompetence in the last five years"
This came up as a result of a remark made by the teachers u ion person.
Five minutes later after repeated deliberate questioning the answer came back "None ".

Teachers do a great job, but seems to me that a totally intransigent leadership is calling the shots.
They just won't move,seems to me.

It's sickening how much air time that RTE are giving Mary Hanafin to set out her stall and big herself up before the next election.. It's also extremely unfair to anybody else who will be standing against her, as none of them have been given such a platform..

She's apparently very proud of having introduced the DEIS scheme... I'm guessing she not so proud of all of the other Government policy that she voted through but that wont get a mention...

she's mainstream.she's establishment,she's safe-and you listen to the brimming disrespect during the P.Murphy interviews with Kenny & Hook at the audacity of someone who proposes different priorities and values-old men with their clunky old labelling guns who can't think outside their underpants

you mean some are humble?

Youd have to admire that guy form Wexford for his ability to maximise his couple of minutes - was there anything in Wexford he didn't mention?

Caught this on "replay". Pretty shameless, all right. Plugging Wexford helps the rest of Ireland! So, then, doesn't plugging elsewhere in Ireland also help Wexford? No, that'd be crazy talk. All roads must lead to!

Did I hear mention that Blarney was included in this "Ancient East" malarkey? Surely I must have misheard. The Wild Atlantic Way only starts a few miles down the road! (At no particular location or even road junction, seemingly.)

Paddy O Gorman just called Sean "Pat".

Love it

Lord, that's one annoying accent that lady has
Anyway life is way too short to waste time reading silly "new age waffle" :mad:

Great to hear Clive James sounding so well.

Oh great, O Gorman talks to poor people in a crap area in Dublin again.

We get it. We should all feel guilty for being "middle class"

I would question the term 'poor' here.

We don't know their actual finances. Do we?

Might be a bit surprised Micky.
