RTE: Drivetime with Sarah McInerney & Cormac O hEadhra

Brendan Bendar · 08-06-2021 5:15pm

Hmmm………

O’Headhra seems much more relaxed with Libreri.

Seems to think he is the ‘bull goose’ in this tandem.

I like Libreri in this role, less abraisive than McInerney, and oHeadhra doesn’t seem as threatened by her.

If she could get rid of the ‘Nooze’ stuff she could be very acceptable.

O’HEadhra seems a lot more relaxed, doesn’t pound the mic like he does with McInerney.

Hmmm…..

Brilliant again from Sarah...Minister McConologue abusing the interview by steadfastly refusing to answer a straight question.

'Ok, you clearly won't answer, let's move on'.

Good performance by Charlie, didn’t succumb to attempts to try and ‘flash bang’ him.

Well done lad.

'Performance' was the word alright.

Roderic O'Gormans head is still spinning after the earlier interview with Cormac - Cormac was well prepared as the hapless Roderic blustered.

Not a good week for the Greens.

Heard that one too, O'Gorman sounded like a badly prepared, bluffing Junior Cert.

Very bad interview I’m sad to say.

It's nothing new. How many times must he make a show of himself on the radio or in the Oireachtas before people say 'enough'? He's been especially cack-handed on this Mother & Baby story, he cannot get on top of his brief. It would be tolerable if it was a breaking story, but he's been blundering for months.

There are only two conclusions: either he isn't capable of the job, or he doesn't care for it.

Certainly does not perform well in situations like today.

Feel sorry for the lad, but doesn’t seem on top of things.

Really enjoyed that segment with Gda. Fiachra O'Vehicle and the kids playing with the Garda speed-gun.

One of the kids to guard: "Did you every CHOKE someone?"

I must listen out for that! I would find it hard to notice without being able to see anything. Libreri was just filling in for Sarah so?

Pound the mic???

Libreri was filling in.

“Pound the mic”. O’hEadhra to me uses a tone of voice which doesn’t seem natural, more as if he is making announcements, rather than speaking ‘normally”

After listening for a while it becomes tiring and difficult to stick with.

Certainly holding the prog.from 1630 to 1900 on his own would be a no-no for me.

You need to be a regular listener to spot those little nuances, though.

I don't see all of BB's posts due to having him on ignore, but I see enough through quotes to know that he has a total, and seemingly irrational, hate for Sarah McInerney for some reason, as yet unexplained.

Every single positive that's posted about her (and there are many) he manages to turn on its head. And otherwise it's "X tore Sarah a new hole today" - a phrase that I hate at the best of times, but my God is overused in this thread to a criminal extent

I’ll try not to use that expression as much.

Apologies.

Looks like they went a bit mad down in Athlone.

Cooke is slobbering away, just like Lally.

Same auld patter, same auld rubbish, don’t diss the locals whatever else you do.

Not us guv. Someone else responsible.

Brendan Bendar · 22-06-2021 4:54pm

In fairness Libreri much less aggressive the McInerney.

I feel that she should be given the job full time.

Let McInerney go to TV.

Nah, get rid of Cormac and keep Sarah - love the voice.

I'm pretty sure there was a thread about her voice in AH once, or else it became about her voice. One the great voices for radio, up there with Larry Gogan, Annie Nightingale and, literally the voice of the middle-class, Philip, Boucher and Hayes.

One of those who take responsibility Francie, who don’t hide in the whins and heather firing from the sidelines, one of those who stands up and takes control of situations and drives them along.

Not a bunch of imposters who promise the sun moon and stars that I could do on a social media site.

The players on the field stand or fall Francie, some may stand some may fall, but the stults on the sideline can pontificate ,roar and shout , nobody holds them to account ……

Stand up and be counted F, walking away from the hard votes epitomizes the yellow backbone your fellow travelers displayed.

Found out Francie, gutted and filleted

I’ll send the winnings to Connolly House, care of G. Kelly.(front seat passenger)

Should get to you fairly quickly

I'll make another wager, double or quits so to speak (and that may be confirmed by others who were listening) and that is I bet Sarah didn't do as badly as you suggest.

Other than that, I will avoid the party political broadcasts you are attempting to drag me into on a 'Radio Forum'.

Well given she’s from Galway, I’d say she knows exactly what senior hurling is as her home county are fine exponents of the beautiful game.

Francie, you are a big boy now, I’m not attempting to drag you anywhere.

All you have to do is resist the temptation to try and have a cut on the auld Brenner on any thread you think you can.

Bleating in the hope that a sympathetic mod might ‘yellow’ the Brenner are not appreciated, all content on topic and that kind of blind side action does nothing for your contribution.

You are bigger than that surely.

Is the Brendi trying to say he is above criticism or challenge. Lots of arrogance in here today.

Can you tell us why it is that when somebody is 'ripped it a new one' the 'ripper' is invariably a FGer?

Francie, this is a Radio programme forum.

I am commenting on the performance of the presenters in this thread.

Now, like a good lad, stop trying to drag the Brenner into a political argument.

Sit back and take a sip of sour milk or sommit…

Apologies. I just think it devalues the Radio Forum for somebody to continually use it for political point scoring.

Plenty of places on the site to vent your leanings.

Sarah played a blinder as usual. She even managed to interrupt Simon (not an easy thing to do) expertly so ye can ignore all the horse posted on it.

I'm not keen on the idea of politicians attacking the media, but the only category of cheerleaders of the last 'boom' who have never given an adequate account of their behaviour is the print media. And, more importantly, they have never described the steps they will take to address such poor scrutiny of policy in the future.

I think the newspaper editors were brought before an Oireachtas committee, as there had been questions raised about the role of The Irish Times, in particular, and the profits it made from advertising property for sale, which obviously created a conflict of interest.

The Irish Times is at it again, and the property supplement has never been bigger. The print-media, specifically, has never taken any responsibility, I don't believe they learned anything.

In fairness to the other media, like radio, I think they're far more questioning and capable of challenging conventional wisdom.

I agree although it was a charge I used to level at the Indo...always managed to squeeze the odd sneaky piece about house price rises...well before the latest wave took off...remember a photo/item some years back of a supposed endless queue at a viewing outside some property in Dublin...photo was clearly cropped..I suspect the line really went no further than the half dozen in shot.
As you say these guys have a vested interest in talking the market up
