I cannot for the life of me understand how any of the last Fianna Fail Government members are tolerated or can even have the neck to give opinions on any show. They should all have been binned or in hiding. Cheeky feckers.

Or in stocks and chains on a wing of mountjoy!

This lad might have trouble getting patients after this morning's disclosures..

Marion's great at point other the system failures outside of RTE... It's kind of hard listening to her describing other dysfunctional Government bodies, when the one she works for runs a 63 million loss and still thinks she good value at 500k for a few hours every other week...

Unfortunately I've had reason to experience quite a bit of hospitals recently - the main impression I come away with is that they are "totally disorganised" and operate very inefficient, untidy working methods without any real indication of who exactly is in charge - if anyone!

I honestly think if you put Francis Brennan into any hospital in the country for a week he would not only clean the place up but have it running like a well-oiled machine before he left. If his hotel was run like most of our hospital he would have been out of business years ago. Cleaning and de-cluttering would at least make a big difference to the working environment.

Fair play to Stephanie, the Priory Hall widow for tearing strips of Kathleen Lynch on the Priory Hall debacle...

Callan57

I again ask why for the biggest purchase in most peoples lives there would appear to be absolutely no comeback when the "product" is found to be not fit for purpose, as with Priory Hall, I find it beyond extraordinary.

Theres an awful lot of Martins in this conversation. . .

Wonder what is Marian's defenition of Presentism

JonathanAnon

Marian FAILS again

Marian stated: 'allsops won't auction repossessed family homes'

This is incorrect, they will still be selling repossessed family homes, and rightfully so.

snubbleste

Marian knows 'people' getting calls morning, noon and night, from their mortgage provider about arrears.

Has Marian got kids who have left the country?

i actually wouldnt be surprised.

Marian Finucane earned €180,507 in 2003, €239,265 in 2004, €570,000 in 2008.
Marian Finucane was paid €492,000 in 2011 and her fees have been reduced to €295,000 in 2013.
Where would she put all that money? It's not as though she is short on time to go on investment hunting trips be it here or abroad.

Derek Davis said as much in an interview lately when asked would he be interested in taking over the slot Pat Kenny vacated on radio 1. He replied that he was enjoying retirement too much, because unlike pat he didn't use he's pension to invest.

It seems Sean Dunne invested a lot of there money in apartments!

Debt forgiveness means WE - the tax paying fools who didn't go around acting like money grew on trees - will have to pay for the stupidity and arrogance of the profligrate former nouveau riche. There is no such thing as debt forgiveness the debt merely moves from one group of people to another.

JonathanAnon

I agree with the poster above.. I sort of cringed when Barry Cummins started suggesting names as if he was talking about prospective signings for a football team.. It was inappropriate to do this...

Very interesting interview with Harry Belafonte - an amazing man. Different slant on the "Kennedy Era" and his opinion on Obama too

Is there no end to the recession misery discussion on RTE? It seems that every time I tune in there is moaning and groaning about how dire things are. I don't think it's helpful, in fact it is probably bringing down the mood of the nation. They are talking us all into depression. :rolleyes:

I am very much inclined to agree with you. During the week Michael Noonan's quip about throwing our hats in the air gave me a smile & then this morning off we go again with misery, misery & more misery. There comes a time when the wallowing has to stop - we are getting to the stage when you nearly feel you have to apologise for living. What about that plumber finding the 140,000 - gives a whole new meaning to a cash job

Regarding that anxiety segment it seems it goes without saying that single people Dont suffer from anxiety at all.

Very good point - maybe it's the married state that is causing the anxiety

I an noting more and more that when single people are mentioned in these kinds of contexts its people who are single because they are a widow or widower. I remember a programme about loneliness recently which dealt only with people who had lost their spouse through either death or separation. No mention whatsoever about people who were single all their lives for whatever reason, it seems they deserve to be lonely!

Maybe they are just better adjusted, more resilient & have adapted to coping without needing a metaphorical crutch. We are the great survivors!
