Sean O'Rourke Today Show

Arthur's day is just an advertising campaign. I don't know why people are getting hot and bothered about it.

You should've rang Liveline to complain about it.

They had yet another piece about city folk with lots of Garda stations within 5 minutes of their house giving out about rural folk living an hour from help and owning a gun for self defense. If someone breaks into my house I'll take the Barry Scott approach "Bang! and the Dirt is gone"

Marie Louise O'Dramatic is the greatest advertisement for the abolition of The Seanad. Keep it up Marie. Not long to go now.

another 2 good reason is some senator called gillian van turnout. never heard of her, dont know what shes done or what makes her so special to be a senator and that healy eames muppet from galway whos head is so big im surprised she can fit it into lenister house

listening to Sean at the ploughing championships today, he comes across more like a football match commentator that a radio presenter..

Sean is not good out in the field

She's intolerable, but she's no more an advertisement for the abolition of the Seanad than Michael Lowry is an advertisement for the abolition of the Dáil. She's very much an advertisement for its reform.

I can't help wondering if Kenny put her in the Seanad as a method of bolstering his rather cheap and vacuous "arguments" for its abolition.

But we're not being given a vote for reform, it's a straight yes or no. Organisations like Democracy Matters are intentionally muddying the waters by talking about reform, as a lot of the people behind it are senators or former senators who were quite happy to take their seats in that crony-filled doss house and didn't seem to raise any objections to it at the time.

I have no time for Lowry either but at least it can be argued that he's in the Dail by virtue of the democratic franchise of his constituents.

No. But the dog is.

What estate was that where people are queueing? (I missed the beginning of the item)

It's like being in a dream, hearing that sort of thing again :eek:

Mind you, a four-bed house for 40 grand.....

Oh my god like. Those two girls like. They are like something out of you know Ross O'Carroll Kelly Like. It was like SOOOOOO funny like. Especially when they were like speaking for the cleaners like. Like COULD you IMAGINE the like conversation between those two and like a salt of the earth Dublin working class road cleaner like.

Not has been unfortunately. With FG on track to lose a TD in each constituencey and no Labour TD safe Fianna Fail could gain a significant number of seats and are looking good to be in the next government in some form next time out. As long as the current structures for funding of political parties prohibit significant private donations and instead allow taxpayers money to go to existing political parties it is extremely difficult for an alternative party to set up and run a major election campaign. And people thought FF brought that in to fight corruption. It may turn out that was the most corrupt anti-democratic piece of leglislation of them all.
