Strange way of putting things , I would have thought.

Isn't he a barrister? Isn't that the way they frame things?

I did not know that Robert........ must delve further into his background.

However, while that might be the way they frame things in the law courts, I think it’s not a very suitable method of eliciting information on national public radio.

The interviewee is not in a court of law.

Thanks for the info Robert.

As they call it on the TV shows, "leading the witness".

I agree, it's not the best means by which a question can be phrased.

Might have a lot to do with how politicians/or similarly accountable present for interview, particularly the slippery and evasive.

Interesting indeed. Catholic right interviwee on at the moment.

Timmy Dooley left sounding like a babbling idiot there and the questioning wasn't even aggressive

Ehh...... that’s kinda what I’m saying Francie.

Had you a bit of a setback recently..... no need for the pushback.

You said it as if you expected him to be doing something different. So I just pointed out another example to you.

Nah Francie..... just reminding folk as I always do, be aware where the person is coming from.

Like the FR ‘jab and go’ ad.

Hope that’s ok?

Brendan Bendar · 26-01-2021 6:15pm

O’hEadhra making a total tool of himself on Drivetime.

What an idiot.

I would be more than willing to accept that corry is speaking on his own behalf as regards the travel industry. It just happens to be the case that his interests are almost entirely aligned with theirs.

FrancieBrady · 26-01-2021 7:28pm

Construction Industry spokesman shilling for the construction industry there.

Corry classifies himself as a journalist, though, think thats the difference.

He is the Editor of a Travel Industry magazine primarily.

Corry was awarded a lifetime "contribution to the industry" award at the Irish Travel Industry Awards in Dublin on January 22, 2016

Depends on the interviewee usually, don’t listen as much now, nothing but bad news and doom and gloom.

This looks like it could be good on tomorrow's show.

not sure Richard is up to speed on this brief....

Brendan Bendar · 28-01-2021 6:55pm

He heh heh.... as predicted..... what the fuhherke was all that about.

Nobody the wiser, just a bunch of waffle .

O’Broin seemed out of his depth.

Like a few around here, all Richard wanted t do was get a dig in at SF. Insisted on the lie it was they who blocked the Oscar Traynor development and breezed right by O'Broin's list of all who had objected to it.
Chancer.

That's 20 minutes I won't get back - what a load of nonsense, two normally good performers trying to out waffle each other.

Only myself to blame....knew this would be a waffle fest

Nothing personal Info, but if you thought that “something” might come out of this pseudo ‘debate’ that the ordinary Joe like ourselves might gain knowledge from, then you can blame yourself.

I was cynical enough not to expect anything, and I got exactly as expected.

Anyone who claims to have understood the content of this charade is, to use the mantra of the Alphabets.. “telling lies”, in my opinion.

Info, you certainly were, given the subject-housing.

This subject has been festering in our country for years and nobody, I say again- nobody -seems to have a handle as to how to get on top of it.

Everybody seems to be to blame, and the ordinary Joe has no clue who or why it’s the way it is.

I'm fairly sure I heard O'Broin say there are alternate proposals for the OT development.

Richard had no alternative, he was the one blaming. Richard was blaming SF and none of the other objectors too. Richard wants to make it a political football therefore. Don't be Richard.

Ah Cormac the news isn't about you, I was interested in that shipwreck find off the coast of Norway but all you seemed to be interested in was havin the craic with the lady archaeologist and showing us how smart you are with the childish puns

I've given up on this show but tuned in out of curiosity. I lasted about 20 seconds...male grooming on Drivetime...no thanks. Not that the alternatives are any better...Kieran Cuddihy was plugging an item on the challenges of being a (new) father by having a chat with other NT presenters.
