    Anyone else uneasy with this "Anglo comedy" play?

    Same old Irish, a laugh and a joke about Anglo, and still nobody accountable or jailed .. What exactly is going on with the David Drumm case at the moment?

    Terrible idea for a show. It is no laughing matter. Way too soon.

    No problem at all but only if its actually a ruthless satire and not an "end of the pier" level panto with topical gags.

    Oh this Terry guy is great. I used to always listen to his slot on Newstalk, then he was ill, so it's fantastic to hear him again on the radio. Fascinating man, mine of information.

    Yeah I couldn't remember exactly what happened to him, that's why I wrote "Ill"

    Marian Finucane interviewed Terry Dolan a while back about his stroke and the affect it had on his life.
    There's a link to the interview on this webpage:

    The Patron Saint of Ireland's huddled masses is coming a bit unstuck defending universal child welfare payments to the wealthy.

    He was getting a bit snotty with Pat earlier on in the interview as well... usual left wing nonsense, give those on welfare everything and expect them to contribute nothing... And pull all minor concessions to those paying their way... People in Ireland need to get back to work, and the state needs to incentivise working, not incentivise staying on the dole any further.

    The problem is not the wealthy. Taking child benefit from the Michael O'Leary's in this country will save a few thousand at best. This is another assault on the middle class who pay for everything and are made feel guilty for not giving more.

    Has zero credibility IMO .... this is the guy who stands over the religous orders not paying for their abuse of Ireland's children. He & his brass neck should be told to get lost :mad:

    Mother and Child addiction treatment centre?

    Surely a child should be nowhere near the mother when she is coming off junk

    Babies can be born addicts if the mother takes drugs when pregnant :(

    Wow - another free ad on PK for super-PR-guru Prone...commenting on a presidential debate while my own memory of her husband presiding over RTE as Chairman with the Irish Presidential debacle on PK's frontline and his total lack of personal accountability....

    Someone needs to invent a bigger word than "irony"....

    She's like the Jim Power of the PR world...

    - After taking over Gay Mitchell's PR for his presidential campaign, his ratings plummetted... (while she appeard on VB talking about it).
    - They had their own PR disaster with their handling of the death of Kate Fitzgerald... Tom obviously put in action the "Circling Of The Wagons" operation he learned from his time in RTE.
    - Terry appears on a live TV show, in her self indulgent interview reveals how she doesnt like meeting people, and doesnt need any more friends... Her, in PR, announces this to the world on national TV... No doubt any new clients watching that interview looked forward to their future meetings with Terry with some trepidation..

    The constant sound interference on today's show is very, very annoying ... come on Pat give the technical support staff a shake up :mad: :(

    Fighting performance from Dr Reilly IMO, he's definitely a doughty fighter ...... but I can see now why Roisín decamped :rolleyes:

    Looks like the PR boys have been doing a job on Jimbo. Today he was in Mother Teresa mode but still couldn't help himself from getting in a cheap shot at Roisín Shorthall towards the end of the interview.

    Will nobody rid us of this turbulent pest?

    anyone have an explanation as to why the producers Qs that were meant to go to pat went to reilly instead ?

    pats just phoning this crap in now. he knows the jig is up and just wants to keep the wages as long as possible. he's passed on ALL the big domestic stories this week to keep the head down and now finally when he gets reilly on, something newstalk and TodayFM havent been able to do despite petitioning night and day, he gets a soft interview !

    fecking joke, complete with dodgy mikes.

    Have to agree, think Pat has changed since the holidays.
    On radio he has gone soft in interviews and on the Frontline he seems to be trying to sex up his performances, getting down with the kids.

    How do you "upload" money, Tina? Have you invented Star Trek-esque teleportation / matter transformation?
