    I heard Noel Ahern, Minister for State in Transport on the Last Word, Today FM the other night and his performance was shockingly poor.....very dismissive of the logical questions posed to him....he kept saying he was advised of figures that contradicted those that were available from the RSA yet "didnt have them in front of him" or could say how to get them...

    Dont you have to worry at this level of discussion is offered by a well paid Minister of State in the Government?

    --> the Minister's interview starts from 12 minutes into this recording

    He was on NewsTalk a couple of days ago, it was another very poor performance. Neol has been keeping a very low profile until 20 Junior Ministers were asked to resign and only 15 being brought back - funny that.

    Runs in the family. Is this a facade, is there, underneath all this shambling mediocrity, another cute hoor.

    I heard the Today Fm broadcast. He was clearly caught out and had no idea by what he was talking about! I have had to stop listening to this show as constant appearances like this by our politicians continue to depress me!

    He'll be gone after the mini re-shuffle along with hopefully a few others. And i mean after there down to 15.

    bertie's brother demoted?! surely you jest....

    heard the piece, in fairness anton savage killed him and wouldn't let him get away with the waffle he was trying to spout.

    He made ribbons of dan boyle last night, dan boyle seems to have morphed into a full time party spokesman for FF, he is always on defending policy.
