I hate all this the older generation of criminals are some kind of benevolent benign force in comparison to today's crims. It's complete b*****.
The Irish Times are at it too this morning.

Ireland loves it's scumbag thugs. What else explains the newspaper obsession and the Love Hate worship that seems to prevail amongst those that don't have to live with the everyday misery these guys inflict.

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.

That is hardly fair - I'm fairly certain if it was up to the Gardai he (and many another) would be locked up permanently.
What I don't understand is how these criminals can move assets and are then free to live it up in another European country. Is there no EU law where criminals are concerned?

JonathanAnon

There's a lot of mean people out there Marion. Just look at the self portrait of Joe Duffy hanging on the studio wall..

Brian Sherry always reminds me of that guy in Jaws that scratches his nails across the blackboard, and starts telling all the people in ominous tones about how bad the shark is.

Sounds very like idolatory to me

This is such wankerish talk. David Bowie had about 10 good years. He's done nothing of any note for the past 30 years.

I'm waiting 'patiently' for that GP to offer to take reduced fees in order to give more people access to medical services..........methinks I wait in vain!

Lapin

I don't have a problem with someone doing the odd nixer while claiming the dole.

Its better than sitting at home on their backside and there is a chance that it could lead to regular work.


Good luck to them.

Don't you know that any discussion of the licence fee/broadcasting tax is strictly taboo on RTE. :rolleyes:

Has someone removed my post about tubridy?

I can't stand Cathal Dervan. The bitchiness that exists in Irish football is embarrassing.

It's about time that Radio 1 had its licence fee funding pulled.

Despite the wall of listeners cash that Radio 1 is showered with via the Licence Fee it appears that the staff are incapable of producing and delivering a quality audio experience

Radio 1 staffs' careless attitude is worsening by the day, I expect they are building a case for excuses such as they don't have enough cash to replace outdated equipment, short staffed or such.

Poor broadcast production errors are occurring on a daily basis, one could be forgiven for thinking that the listener is being held in contempt by the 'genii of Montrose'

Been like that all morning on RTE Radio 1, must have an apprentice on the sound desk.

the shrill John Lonergan .....

phelixoflaherty

A pleasing professional alternative

Lonergan was a failed prison governor, why is he constantly granted our license fee paying airwaves to spout his pinko nonsense

I'd take every lefty pinko loony available, along with every RTE insider, I'd even take Mammy O'Rourke - as long as I don't have to listen to Maureen Gaffney :mad:

I want to hear what's on the programme this morning - but not sure I can listen to too much more of her.....

Is that her shïteing now?

'Me , me , me, I, I, I'

Argghhhhh

Hopefully she'll change guests at 12, shrill high pitched yesterday people who should just permanently hump off to their retirement villas in Spain and leave us all in peace !

Lonergan making excuses for poor financial management.

He wouldn't last 5 minutes in the private sector.

constitutionus

was fun to hear them dissemble over the roma kid thing though. marion just cant help trying to defend official ireland.

Marcusm

It's a poor panel spouting platitudes or crowding us with similar commentary. I'd almost like to hear a government shill on to at least put the point that there must be cuts but be unable to defend the baffling means of determining where they should fall.

He's not likely to get pulled up on it on a RTE show!

Wimp , " what was he like?"
" am.... He was driven " !!!!!!!
Just call him a bo***x and get it off you're chest !

Lapin

You know.

Roger_007

Personally I'm getting fed up listening to well-pensioned and well-salaried people,(mostly from the public purse), pretending to be on the side of the poor and underprivileged. They don't seem to understand that they are part of the problem.:mad:

Don't mention the fact that Moran was also the first player ever to be sent off in an FA Cup final.

You need a proper manager in the HSE with the right to hire & fire otherwise it's asking someone to do the impossible.

It must be a soul destroying organisation to work in ... especially for any dedicated hard working individuals who just want to get the job done & I'm sure there are some of those in the HSE.

Beckham has a book coming out next week.

handy number if you were one of the old 11 board members in mary harneys day though.

100k a year for doing nothing till you retire and get a lumpsum and a pension most can only dream of.

Deaglán de Bréadún seems to enjoy ticking people off when they pronounce his name wrong.

It's hilarious that Pat Kenny was her mentor and that he's older than her; he comes cross as at least 10 years younger than her. The sunglasses are smashing. I have no idea if she has eye problems but even then I'd have chosen something less bizarre. It's a bit Bono-like.
