... And deleting messages from Milly's inbox, so they could eavesdrop on whatever new messages her parents and friends left.

Disgusting.

The silence from the other British papers would suggest that it is not unique to that Rag, unfortunately.

That Department is too important to give to Kathleen Lynch.

She sounds out of her depth, with no idea why previous plans failed.

I'd rather see someone with a bit of Political experience taking on Mental Health, bu the time Kathleen figures it out she will be reshuffled.

I feel like have additional mental issues myself after watching that..

Strange that they didn't give out Helpline numbers at the end.

It's normal practice after discussing Mental Health.

Me too. Perhaps we could get a referral?

That Ivor Brown is highly questionable...... John Waters did LSD with him one time as part of a group therapy session he said in an article.

I'm grand, thanks for your support, though.:)

She was amazing

Everyone should know by now the depths that tabloid newspapers will go to find a story .

Don't buy them .-

I would have got there first but I chickened out.:(

I've tried listening to what she says, but dis dat dese and doze is all that I hear.:o

Many politicians across the world have elocution lessons, but they don't seem to bother here, which is probably the reason for their not getting the point across to the public as well as they could.

If they did they'd probably get kicked out on their ear at the following election. Such is the Irish electorate - we like our gombeens to sound like gombeens.

Mary O'Rourke will interview Bertie next week!

It's okay to communicate with the constituents in the native dialect, but they have to take it up a notch to communicate with the rest of the population. Perhaps the main reason for none of them bothering, is that it's easy to deny having said something, if no-one's actually certain that it was said in the first place.

I don't really understand how current holders of office can appear as a host of a current affairs show.

Sarah Carey. Former Irish Times columnist.

Oh! Why? Perhaps she will get Andy Coulson to appear, they can exchange notes.

I agree, all of these people have vested interests.. Surely this means that there will be a moratorium on discussion of anything political while the Senators / ex TDs / ex political candidates are hosting.. ?

Sarah Carey should have been held to account for lying to the Tribunal and costing the state money.. In other right thinking countries, she would have served a few weeks in jail for perjury.. She has shown that she is prepared to bend the truth of her pal Denis O'Brien, and is not a fit host for this type of show..

One to probably miss - I don't have the cash to replace a kicked-in TV screen listening and looking at two of the bástards that helped put me on welfare and ruin the country.

I agree.
I wonder (I'm sure) does VB have a say in who replaces him?
In this case and that O'rourke yoke's case, his choice is up his arse and reflects pretty badly on him.

Dear god, this appears to be true.. Post on politics.ie about it..

Mary O'Rourke to interview Bertie Ahern when she guest-hosts Vincent Browne show

Mary O'Rourke is standing in for Vincent Browne all of next week on TV3's Tonight with Vincent Browne. One of the shows she will be guest-presenting will feature an hour-long interview between herself and former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern.

The interview, which is taking place at TV3 studios this Friday will be edited down and broadcast next week, so viewers won't be able to interact online or by text. TV3 says that it was Mary O'Rourke herself who approached Bertie Ahern and got him to agree to be interviewed.

One asssumes that the interview between Mary "Mammy" O'Rourke and Bertie Ahern won't be the kind of interview that Vincent Browne would conduct. We all remember the ding-dong between Bertie Ahern and Vincent Browne during the 2007 General Election.

I cant believe that Vincent would allow his show to be used for a FF love in, in his absense.. If Bertie wanted to appear on the show, then he should have appeard when Vincent himself was on..

I'm concerned that some members of those of the list will use their presenting slot as an opportunity to promote their own agenda. Surely there are lots of young journalist out there that could do with a break.

The heads of Irish television only seem interested in rolling out the same old familar faces.

JonathanAnon

Did anybody else wipe their screen?

bluefinger

if that lying shít carey is on i'll be switching off till Vinnie comes back.

Harry Angstrom

Another fcukin pointless show tonight. This is a complete no-brainer.

What about a proper debate on the closure of A&E services at Roscommon Hospital?????

In recent weeks he seems to completely and deliberately avoid the main controversial issue of the day..

Judges are the same as everyone in the legal profession, and the rest of the elite in society... no morals, in it for what they can get themselves and nothing more.. There is no justice in this country..

I agree or a programme on how special needs kids are being adversely affected by the cut in SNA's and resource teaching hours.

It's a done deal now, is it not?

I would be very interested to know if we have the infrastructure to make centre's of excellence viable, i.e., the size of the ambulance fleet, the types of ambulances available, numbers of paramadics, the extent of treatment they are legally covered to give, etc. Centre's of excellence are well and good on paper but without a robust emergencey response service how are they supposed to work?

Does anyone know what the current state of affairs is vis a vis ambulance services in that neck of the wood, or in Ireland generally?

InReality

Good sense being talked by the judge on the show. Amazing that the last AG's advice was so wrong !

JonathanAnon

Why does that lad want to match their wages against bankers.. the only thing they have in common is lack of morality.. Can we find out what judges wages were before the increases of the last ten years.. For example, what were their wage the last time the Exchequer income was 30 Billion??
