Marian Finucane

snubbleste

Thanks for a reminder of that clip.

constitutionus

the fecking shamelessnes of keenan in that guff he was spouting.

im NO fan of cowan but as noted in the clip inthe post above keenan didnt have a bulls notion himslef.

didnt stop him being all smugg in his dismissals then eithe.

astonishing stuff.

was also interesting to hear paxmans interview with lenihan.

none of that kind of reporting here from OUR lot in the media, indeed it contrast starkly with the fergal keane/enda story earlier when he was told NOT to record th taoiseach in a public meeting....

...and he did as he was told.

tells ya everything ya need to know about how reliable the media will be NEXT crisis.

I think Marian should have played the above clip before introducing this section with another rearview mirror expert.. Brendan Keenan predicted less that 5% losses in the banks... He's supposedly an expert economist and he got it hugely wrong, so him querying Brian Cowan's credbility is a bit fkn rich...

And yet, newstalks lunchtime show has him on every week in he's own slot. As if he's some kind of monetary genius.

What would I expect from the radio version of the indo!

I would imagine the members of the Seanad have no embarrassment about taking their wages at all.....



Just talking to a few people last night the consensus was the wording on the ballot paper was confusing..

snubbleste

This discussion is very insulting to the citizens of Ireland.

Ah, now it's a bit rich to say the Seanad gives jobs to the unemployed....

Noel Whelan, ex FF, now Democracy Matters?
Mary O'Rourke, ex FF, now Democracy Matters?

Democracy didnt matter much to them when their party was in power.

grey_so_what

There is no doubt it is the next step for failed politicians who lose their seats...I've seen that first hand.....and nixers for the party faithful who put their heads on the chopping board on orders of the leader....



And we could do with leaving DN's "waters" out of this.......

Harry Angstrom

It's beyond me how people could vote to perpetuate this rotten crony institution for has-beens and never-have-beens.

JonathanAnon

Who cares what Jim Power's town did. I'm sure they are less than proud of having him associated with them...

JonathanAnon

Was it very brave of them to lobby to save their 70k a year jobs.. Give me a fkn break...

grey_so_what

Richard B must be on the Maalox at this stage....

Harry Angstrom

The starting of a sentence with "So" and ending with an upward inflection :rolleyes:

Feck off.

grey_so_what

I've a friend off to see the NL's on Friday, I must say I'm very jealous........




Now after all that spiel, isn't Marion worth all her salary????...:)

Just switched off the radio. Can't take anymore of Marion today.

12 to 1 is now the section of the show reserved for the upper class..

It's been redeemed with their Woody Allen discussion. I was on the verge of switching off just before that.

Oops69

More work for the psychiatrist on now .

my friend

Mick chemtrails Wallace waffling in defence of Assange

Piteous waste of your licence fee

RTE love tax cheats

The bare cheek of Wallace to pontificate about social inequity in Ireland, MF didn't challenge him on that FF style off the cuff unsubstantiated flippant comment

F U MF and F U Mick Wallace

Callan57

Worst show ever today IMO - fed up had to turn it off

Oops69

Might be quitting this show now , Marion has been losing her incisiveness over the last year or so , time to retire now

JonathanAnon

I think Mick is a good guy, but he really is a poor speaker and he is very naive to be associating himself with Asange.

I laughed at the "hang on marian there's somebody at the door"... followed by "go on up to the pitch" or something similar.

And thanks to the Beatles montage, Marian was able to make the early flight to Paris..

Gripping interview with that most straight talking of straight talking northern men - Seamus Mallon! He's giving a good kicking to some sacred cows

Hey Callan, did you hear that bit where he was saying "Bill Clinton had that man killed"... :eek: ... I was thinking uh, oh... his mind is slipping and he thinks Bill Clinton was in the Arkansaw branch of the IRA...

I was in the middle of making a cup of tea and nearly scalded myself - good job Marian clarified
I don't think Mr Mallon will be popular in some quarters after that interview

"Jose Carreras is coming to the Bord Gais Theatre. Tickets start at €79.50 so they are not that cheap"..

:eek: Look who's talking, Marian.. For €79.50, I'd get more of Jose Carreras' time than I would of yours..

"Warning children about strangers is not a very good protection measure!" - giggles. :eek:

I'm beginning to wonder if the Angelus is the only thing broadcast on RTÉ without a misery slot.

Listening to this one could be forgiven for thinking that people only started dying in the last ten years. children have been accepting for thousands of years that people in their lives die. They are more resilient them we give them credit for.

Isn't it amazing parents that live 24/7 with their kids for years & still don't seem to know them at all & have no idea how to talk to them! People die, fact of life & any half normal kid knows this but a lot of these parents seem determined to make a drama out of everything.

What exactly is the point in this interview.. There's no point in telling us what a "bad man" John Gilligan is... Ye let him out... Why didnt he make all these points to the proper authorities before he was let out? There really isnt any benefit in coming on Marian Finucane telling tales after he's been released.

I'm finding it very boring. It's a bit like a stilted interview on Crimecall.
