    Hardly surprising,along with his colleague Eoghan Harris,he was a big supporter of Bertie at the time of the Mahon tribunal.

    Not because he has anything to offer, not because he is best qualified but because "he has been hanging around for years" ... talk about damning with faint praise :cool:

    Memorable TV moments.

    Almost all involving the death of someone.

    FFS lighten up, RTE.

    The fact that not one of the highlight clips includes Ryan Tubridy is very telling about him and his late late show.

    Biggest controversy when Tubridy was in charge was when he complimented somebody too much.

    Wouldn't be anything new. You could just as easily be describing Enda Kenny's political career there.

    He made sure to read out what was probably the only text praising the Bert.

    Just listened to yesterday’s show. Started well enough but in a few minutes he got completely lost while trying to remember the two measures where the Taoiseach decided to overrule the medical experts.

    I always thought Marian’s opening newspaper was an amateurish mess. She would pick some topic (always rugby if there was an international) and skim the papers randomly looking for anything on that topic. Endless humming and hawing and the rustle of paper.

    I assumed Brendan could only improve on Marian but he’s falling into her bad ways. Or does everyone get into the studio 15 minutes before they go on air?

    Here’s an idea totally out of the box - why don’t his crew of assistants provide him with a script!

    John S. Doyle on Morning Ireland shows how it’s done.

    amazing the way they report these things. "Martin Smith says that he does not recognise Maddie suspect". They left out the fact that Martin Smith thought with strong certainty that Gerry McCann was the man he saw walking past him on that night carry a small child.

    Or why doesn't BO'C get into Donnybrook at 7.00, run through the papers himself, mark/photocopy/cut out the articles that he wants to quote and be properly prepared. As you saud, it sounds like they were all pulling up in the carpark at 10.55 a.m.

    People don't like the truth in Ireland. It was the same in the property bubble.

    Can anyone tell me who the panellists in the studio are?

    Thanks

    John Halligan, Stephanie Preissner and I don't know the third one.

    What are Gerry Kileen's plans for keeping the virus out of the country once we've eliminated it, I wonder? (Assuming that's even possible, which I'd have my doubts about.)

    Stephanie being careful to take the woke line or work in the arts & media will be badly short.

    Does the government need to change the law so that certain types of large gatherings for acceptable protests are allowed and large crowds for unacceptable protests are banned?
