    Just wondering, further to my point earlier, is it actually possible to get a list of the callers to the show? Given that they are a licensed broadcaster and RTE subject to the BAI rules regarding fairness, balance and objectiveness (stop laughing everybody) - would it be possible to request that RTE provide a list of the callers to the show on any particular day? Not names and addresses obviously, but details of the numbers of callers and the topics that they wanted to speak about. Surely, to demonstrate that the show is at least partially caller driven (as is suggested), then it is not asking for much to have them prove their claim.

    Free Of Information Request?

    Of course it is possible, but it would be rejected, as you know..

    Good point. Sure the day RTE-gate broke, they could only get enough callers to manage 30mins worth of it before they had to move on.

    Oh I'm sure probably would, but I wonder if it's been asked before and what the response was.

    It started off with Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum being used as obnoxiously as possible but he must have lost track of the bit of paper it was written on or , more likely, lost interest and it ended up as "Shake Mulholland"

    I cannot understand how there is not huge pressure on Mary Robinson to right her wrong with regard to this. The girl is still being held captive, and Robinson herself now says that she believes Latifa. Could you imagine the pressure it would put on the Sheik if she organised a protest outside one of his studs. Surely the case with Gordon Elliott pales in to complete significance with the seriousness of this? Where the hell are the women's rights people?

    She effectively rubber stamped the official story from the Sheik and his officials that Latifa was healthy but mentally unwell. This helped the Sheik to bury the story and condemned Latifa to another two years in captivity. I cannot understand how there is not more outrage about this. Is it because the media don't want any criticism of sacred cow Mary Robinson? Are they afraid of losing the Sheik's horsey money? I don't get it.

    Both of those plus the inevitable ensuing diplomatic nightmare.

    The state broadcaster can be fairly mute when it suits them... makes a mockery of their "the truth matters" slogan. no way would they rustle a sacred cows feathers lest the real truth would out,lady Bourke of Balina has long tentacles, best leave her be and chase a few commoners... oh look over there>>>

    The state broadcaster is very selective in its timing. I don't want to say anything much here, but you bet when a person has departed this world that RTÉ then very surely gets its tentacles in, as the de eased cannot sue.

    Mod - for the time being no further comments about Eoghan McD. If actual new facts are printed in trusted mainstream media they can be posted, but if there is question of legal issues there should be no connected comment. Thanks for co-operation.
