Think I'd be putting a pickaxe through the loudspeakers, not passing a law.

Missed the start of the show, did someone try to burn down his office, what goes around comes around.

As a part time musician myself, I honestly dont know how the staff in the main street shops stay sane.. I mean there's only so many times that you can hear the same song over and over and over...


Mannix has the conch for the first twenty minutes.. I bet the others are just playing cards over the other side of the studioe...

Seanad reform is one of his policy's , what a radical!

I thought CAmeron did fairly well in that clip , but he didn't study Latin so he gets a condescending remark from a nobody on the Marion show who made a wrong choice on his CAO form.

Oh please let us not have to listen to this self serving clown for another hour... Paul Murphy wants to be the hero of the angry masses, but not be responsible for any of their behaviour.

We had to listen to Bertie the conman and Michael martin and he's band or crooks long enough over the years, time for some new voices.

The political correspondents and the politicians in this country are all connected and from the same cess pool!

Jesus Paul Murphy needs to change the message. Not EVERYONE is against you and out to get you Paul. It's not a conspiracy.

It will be even less next election, Labour has betrayed working people, Fianna Fáil is the party of ''big business'' Fine Gael is the party of big farmers, they serve the farmers well resently by selling beef to the Yanks, first time in 16 years, and good luck to them, they represent their voters well.
But working people continued to be screwed, Labour will pay for that in the next election.

I hear you, but...I just listened to it again on the late night re-run and Ms Lawlor posed the original question to Murphy and then tackled him a number of times, cutting him short on one particular avenue he wanted to use to amplify his point...she then went around the other 4 contributors and allowed them to speak (against him) for several minutes each uninterrupted, before going back to PM for more discussion where she again checked him and some of the others also took him on...when he concluded by saying the media have a particular viewpoint, cue shrieks of outrage in concert from all the others!

You and I may not agree with him on this issue, but RTE do have a habit of framing debates around a particular mind-set that exists within the station...

PM does not need to change the message, it's working remarakably well for him. He's in the media far more than any other (non-cabinet member) TD.

Pointless doing this ghost nonsense on the radio, not that there was much merit in doing it for TV either..

"So strong willed women will annoy him because we're not demure enough"

And if that doesnt do it, your laugh certainly will Aíne...

I think it's a mistake at this stage to consider an interview with Tubridy as a serious political interview, as one would an interview with Pat Kenny or Miriam O'Callaghan...

Ah come on! Murphy waffled like the best of them and wasn't afraid to do a good old Pontius Pilate job on his "followers". Any time he's put under pressure (and God knows Tubs is hardly a hard core interviewer ) he has nothing but the same tired old rhetoric and vacuous slogans, I'm against, I'm against, I'm against - absolutely zero constructive to offer.
To suggest Tubs "ambushed" him is to give a degree of credit to Tubs that frankly any regular watcher of the Late Late knows is well beyond Tubs job description. I'd suggest you watch that prog again - Murphy did appear surprisingly nervous & certainly drank a hell of a lot of Irish Water over the course of the interview :)

Aine lawlor is intolerable on this show , everything's a giggle with her , absolutely no depth to her interviews , surely the national broadcaster can do better than this, it's embarrasing , what's more all this is available to the whole world now online , we can't hide this shoddy amateur broadcasting anymore .

Does it matter?, they've all been at boot camp so there's no variety in the message , Sinn Fein needs a few renegades to liven up things a bit , like someone from longford or somewhere who doesn't think those on 100k should be on an 85% tax rate .

I consider Aine Lawlor quite tolerable, and prefer her to the show's eponymous host.

They have Peadar Tóibín, who's not "on message" on abortion, does that count? (i.e. he has a markedly regressive position, as opposed to the party's not-very-progressive one.)

I don't like Aines presenting style at all, she asks the questions and then after the guests utter about 3-5 words, she butts in either asking another question, or making a statement of some sort, or giggling.

Some of them may be talking sh1te, but stop interrupting.Its as if she wants to hurry up the whole show.....rush rush rush:(......enough.

She's been on her honeymoon since RTE move her to that weekend slot and decided she was worth 500k for four hours..

I only heard about the first half hour, so maybe Aine's novelty on this format's yet to wear off. I certainly rate her work on "proper" news and current affairs shows. Might be a reflex honed on waffly politicians who'd "just like this opportunity to say" rather than answering the actual question.

I did a real double-take last weekend when Ní Bheoláin was subbing for Lawlor on The Week in Politics -- especially as I was listening rather than watching during the intro. It must Job Swap Month on RTE. What next, Dave Fanning presents Easter Sunday Mass?

She's away again... That's great value you're getting out of her RTE, well done on that...

Stephanie Roche is a really good speaker.. Very honest of her to admit she cringed when she look at herself in one of the photos... There's an honesty about her that is refreshing...
