Marian Finucane

wow sierra

Did anyone hear the interview with the Irish woman in the Philippines? It was shocking and uncaring. Marian joking about Al Gore and wind speeds and barely listening to the woman talking about the utter devastation there coming after other natural disasters earlier in year. She finished the interview saying " I had to laugh at you saying it was worse than Iraq, I know I shouldn't laugh at peoples misfortune" or words to that effect. The woman in Manilla sounded shocked then Marian switches straight to another story with no further comment. She shouldn't have done the interview at all if she wasn't going to take it seriously. I switched off straight away and don't think I will be listening again.

She wouldn't have been so flippant if it had happened in Europe or the United States.

And now they're saying at least 1000 dead, a real laughing matter indeed.

It's refreshing to hear today's program without being forced to listen to the dreadful maureen gaffney monopolising the show with her lenghty and immature diatribes.

There is some guy now on her program (Rory someone or other) which illustrates why Ireland is in the predicament it is in. He is demonising people who brought two or three or more buy to lets, as if trying to improve ones situation and ones familys situation was "reckless speculation".

He has just used the word "lookat", which is a give away.

Marian's collection of debt dodging dead beats out weigh the voices of reason once again.

It's surely time the BAI took issue with Radio 1 on this matter.

Who is the whiney seeking debt write off woman guest with the annoying nasal tone?

Reading that article makes my blood boil! What kind of idiots
did he think we were by telling us, through his crocodile tears,
that, if all came to all, he could always live on a campsite in
Doolin?! Bernard McNamara's 'broke' is not the same 'broke'
as that of those people who are struggling to feed their children and trying to keep a roof over their heads. Reference was made
by Dearbhail McDonald on MF a few weeks ago to the lavish
wedding of Mr. McNamara's daughter in New York during the
summer. Apparently it was mentioned in one of that Sunday's
papers. MF ignored Ms. McDonald's remark, which suggested
that it would not do anybody dealing with austerity any good to
see the opulence of bankrupt Bernard's daughter's recent
wedding in New York. He was meant to walk free on November
2nd, but is not allowed to do so for another few months

This Philip McCabe was on Mooney last week talking about a junket he had to eastern europe educating them about bees & honey. I think he's involved in a beekeeping association.

He used to be an Mooney as a rep for the Citizens advice but i think he has retired from that, no doubt on a nice pension for himself.

I don't know what a development officer is but there must be people who have worked in the private sector available on a Sunday morning apart from all these ex public servants using RTE as a means of publicising whatever hobbies/business they are now in.:mad:

Eh, I edited out part of his title
Philip McCabe - Development Manager - the Citizen’s Information Service in Monaghan & Director of County Monaghan MABS also beekeeper, know-it-all, broadcast contributor, expert etc

Yes, all in all its calculated she works less than 40 weeks out of 52. That's a max of 40 weeks at 4 hours a week which is a maximum of 160 hours year broadcasting. According to madame google, Marian Finucane was paid €492000 in 2011, which gives her an hourly rate of €3075, or €12 300 for a four hour weekend.

Bloody hell! Horslips AGAIN! *switches off*

constitutionus

Shes on 295k now.

its still 5673 euro a week.

to put that in perspective your bog standard joe (NOT duffy ! ) earning 35k a year is spending .072% of his wages on drink if he/she forks over 4.84 for a pint.

the equivilent for the made would be 40 quid a pint before it made a comensurate impact on her.

think about that next time her and hers start going on about putting up the price of drink to stop binge drinking.

It helps when they all have connections with RTE. Never any worries about getting interview slots.

In fairness though, she works very hard. I mean all that listening to the radio every day, and watching news bulletins on TV as part of her "research" for the weekend show must really take its toll.........
