I'd much prefer a good old row in the studio with Joan Burton, Pearse Doherty, Constantin and Damien English (just for the foreign accent).

I would've thought this small firms woman might have been complaing about the increase in the price of drink. Presumably she also represents off-licence owners as well?

yes but how do you tell the difference between the lobbyists who are paid to play violins for various interest groups ( the ones who are masters in the art of faux compassion ) and the genuine humanitarians like that priest who works with the homeless , cant remember his name

A man in the audience, who owns TWO properties, is complaining about how hard done by he is.

It's frankly laughable

If you're involved in your local community or if you have a child attending school you know the issues that are affecting real people.

It makes Vinnie feel good about himself. I bet he didn't think he'd come across a Fatima Mansions resident with 2 properties.

Well, it doesn't take a lot to figure out that it is wrong to cut the home care packages of the disabled and reduce the annual Carer's Respite allowance from €1700 to €1375. Carers save this country a fortune but the government place little or no value on the work they do.

Interesting that he's living at home with his mother while his g/f has a baby and is presumably living in other accommodation..........
