    Why the hell would we borrow at 6% to give to any other foreign country... Whatever about helping them, we are just digging a bigger hole for ourselves..

    That point by McCarthy on Defence spending really being Aid by a different aim is very interesting.

    I can't make up my mind whether Foreign Aid should be cut or not, halving it seems to be the best plan. Cutting it completely sounds very harsh.

    I agree he is quite good. He is putting a big effort into it so he must be after a current affairs presenting job now.

    personally i think colleran looks good only in relation to the garbage presenters the show has featured in the past few weeks.

    If Vinny was running that discussion tonight, it would have gotten hysterical. Colleran managed that discusssion really well. Fair dues.

    It will be interesting to see if David Norris will chair this week on the show giving the latest setback.

    Somehow I doubt it. They wouldn't be able to keep the elephant in the room out of shot.

    I suppose it's hardly surprising, but it really doesn't look well at all for Norris. He's more or less gone into hiding since this blew up. I know he gave an interview with the Sindo, but he knew they'd be sympathetic to his plight.

    I am surprised as well.. he normally likes to portray himself as a fighter for gay rights and human rights, but when the last two controversies hit the headlines, he ran away and stuck his head in the sand..

    Don't think he should have been offered the job to host VB show for a week in the first place once he was into the race for the Park.

    Agreed but also the other senators that are up to host the show. I don't think elected politicians or those going up for election should be given a current affairs show to host.

    RTÉ are actually quite good at mention TV3 when they do something, however I am still waiting for TV3 to talk about EastEnders, Neighbours, Home & Away, Fair City and Ros Na Run during Ireland AM.

    Once again Norris turns into the Scarlet Pimpernel when there's a whiff of trouble brewing. If he has nothing to hide then he should host the VB Show tomorrow night and use it as a platform to rally support. Instead he skulks away while insisting that his presidential campaign is still on track. Pathetic stuff.

    Aw that's a shame. Another boring week with Sam Smyth I'd expect. Think of the ratings had Norris presented.

    Hopefully Ger Cadogan can fill in tonight. I didn't agree with Norris getting the slot anyway when he was running for the Aras.

    No show on a Bank Holiday - Sam Smyth is back in the saddle tomorrow, apparently.

    Ger Colleran, not Cadogan ;-) Is the show on tonight? I forgot today was Monday, and I thought RTE said that Norris "would not be presenting tomorrow" .. but being a Monday it should surely be on.. :confused:

    For once I agree with hotmail.com, and Harry above... It would have been a great opportunity for Norris to defend himself, and the ratings would have gone through the roof... Disappointed in Norris that he didnt say "fk it, I'm doing the show anyway" and face down his detractors..

    Norris' campaign has taken another serious hit in the last hour..

    http://www.rte.ie/news/2011/0801/norrisd.html
    Three TDs withdraw support for David Norris
    Independent TDs Finian McGrath, John Halligan and Thomas Pringle have withdrawn their support for the embattled Presidential candidate David Norris.

    Norris shoulda just went on and ignored the whole thing. I don't quite know how a presenter could defend himself for an unrelated topic.
