    Has Crowley ever interviewed Shatter on Israel?

    From RTE
    Friday, 11th November 2011
    This morning's programme was presented by Richard Crowley

    Barry Duggan of ‘The Irish Independent spoke to Richard.

    Richard spoke with Harry McGee, Political Correspondent with the Irish Times.

    On the line was John Ihle, markets correspondent of the Sunday Business Post.

    The centre’s director of development and international relations is Larry Rich and he spoke to Richard this morning as did Gili Ray of the ACRI, the Israeli Civil Rights Association.

    Richard was joined by Eamon Dunphy and Eoin Hand in Tallinn.

    We took a look back at the stories of the week with Professor Eunan O h’Ailpin, Trinity College Dublin, Terry Prone, Communications Clinic, Diarmaid McDermott, Ireland International and Tim Pat Coogan, historian and author.
    Just noticed that the write-up for todays show is all in the past tense.
    Was it prerecorded?

    Jaysus Crowley fairly laid into the Israeli guy... easier to get a straight answer out of Sinn Féin member.
    Snakebites and CPR, Armageddon and sowing what you reap...oh and congrats to Micheal D (wonder would he have had the same for Norris?) :rolleyes:
    Usual aul state propaganda and unusually challenged a by a host who didn't back down or take the line he was being fed.

    Wonder would Kenny have kept it up for as long?

    I missed that - switched to the TV to watch Michael D. getting ordained.
    I do wonder about the preemptive wording of the writeup though.

    That's Senator Marie Louise to you and me. M'Lady is finally part of the ruling class now to go with her long held air and attitude.

    Listened to the insufferable Terry Prone again today giving her opinions on banking... Given the bang up job she did with Gay Mitchell, I think she should focus on re-learning how to do the PR, and never mind the banking...

    It was sickening listening to her saying she was ''talking to the chairman of the RTE board'' as if she bumped into him somewhere. Richard Crowley kindly informed those that don't already know that he's her husband.

    Very impressed with Richard Crowley, where was this guy all summer when we had to endure Myles and Miriam?

    Watch your back Pat!

    So we're agreed - Richard Crowley to take over Radio One's entire output? With compulsory in-studio webstreaming?

    Nah, still have an oul grá for Pat.. He's been excellent on the Frontline.. His line to Gay Mitchell on the Presidential Debate about "temperament" was one of the funniest moments of the year...

    BUT Richard Crowley is also excellent, and he would slot in nicely to DriveTime... still havent warmed to Mary Wilson at all..

    Thanks to Richard for that small peek into the 'banana republic'.

    Achmed Crowley did his usual anti -israeli thing on friday . Im surprised he hasnt been promoted higher in RTE given he spouts the party line every chance he gets . Maybe he planning on a nice retirement pad in the gaza strip when he hangs up his boots .

    So expecting an interviewee to actually answer a question, as opposed to spouting his rehearsed speil, is "anti Israeli"? Grow up.

    Get your facts right, crowley asked loaded questions then accused the interviewee of not answering the question when the answer didnt suit his pro palestinian views . Its typical of the way the irish media attack israel , They accuse israel of being undemocratic and immoral in the way it treats arabs, but conveniently ignore the way most arab countries treat minorities . Ask the christians in egypt about how tolerant arab countries are of minorities and see what answer you get . Israel is not perfect but it is the only country in the region that actual offers its citizens anything like the freedoms which we take for granted in this country !!!!!

    Ms Prone's husband being, as I'm sure you all know, one Tom Savage, father of the boy Anton, who did not appear as replacement for Sam Smyth on Today FM this morning.

    I'm sick of seeing/hearing Terry Prone on TV and radio. I would've thought she'd be a bit embarrassed to show her face for a while considering Gay Mitchell did so badly in the election. I'd love to see Prone and Marie Louise O'Donnell put on a one-way flight to feckin Antarctica.

    She,s clueless. Owned by Ganley and is still being self rightgeous about FG policy.
    Then she starts quoting DM articles. Money for old rope that one is...

    someone made a point here recently that she does not like her views challenged.
    After this mornings exchange with Ganley this point was made even clearer.
    She is probably best suited to her usual contribution about a postman on his rounds.
    Leave the political debate to the experts.

    Says a lot when we consider a senator unable to comment on politics and more suited to discussing the trivial.

    Not necessarly experts but at least people who have some idea what they are talking about ... Marie Louise was down right embarassing to listen to this morning, clearly didn't have a clue & way, way out of her depth (and I'm no fan of Declan Ganley!)

    Sorry should have qualified my comment.
    They are obviously only expert in comparison to her.
