    It is surprising that they are one of the few 70s/80s TV Stars whose reputation hasn't taken a tumble recently!

    I forgot about that, I have horrible memories of Jedward coming back to me. :(
    Ah they were priceless as was Vinny's reaction to them. The most unfunny thing on the show that night was Ray D'arcy.

    As ever, It is a shame there is no Senior Government Representative on the Panel to debate with these commentators.

    It would be interesting to compare the frequency of Fine Gael and Labour Ministers appearances on the show before and since the last Election.

    Why do Jedward have shaving brushes on their heads. Is it a new fashion?

    But Vinny said he wanted the view of outsiders.

    It's not hard to argue your view when it is set in stone and completely unaccepting to any possible change.



    Remove religious ideologies completely from the argument and we might begin to get somewhere. As the news reporter before Vincent came on mentioned, "lawyers, medical experts and religious groups will all be heard before the committee"

    He came across very well, the best from anti choice people I've heard. 4 against one wasn't very fair either.

    Fair enough, they are good commentators but I find the debate somewhat abstract when there is no-one present from the Government to answer the valid points being raised.

    I have never heard him from outside the Opera Lane Studios before. I know he is always there because he mentions it every hour without fail.

    Reilly is a cute hoor. Telling yer man to eat lots of bread and butter so he'll probably have to pay a visit to his GP within 6 months with high cholesterol, at €60 a pop for the doctor ;)

    What Brady did was wrong 30 years ago however it doesnt mean what he is saying is wrong. I attended a doctor for years who smoked alot, he advised me to stop smoking as this could eventually kill me. A bit rich i thought coming from him. However essentially what he was saying was correct.

    Yeah, he was taken by Vinny's manner at the start. Surely he would have been briefed about Vinny's style before going on the show? It was obvious that he was going to start the discussion in that manner.

    How come the only people who are given airtime on this subject are the extremists... Can all reasonable people not just agree that :
    a) if a baby is dead in the mother's womb, then a DNC should be permitted and b) if a pregnant mother's life in danger, then the doctor should be able to do whatever is necessary to save her life. (I thought this was covered under the hippocratic oath anyway?)....

    A referendum could get both of these through easily... Any other hard cases (such as potentially suicidal mother) could be addressed/debated etc AFTER making changes to take care of the situations above...

    But what's the Irish solution .. Give airtimes to whackjobs like Father Tom, Ivana Bacik, Breda O'Brien, Ronán Mullen etc etc who really dont represent that the views of many people..

    Vinnie is just using this as a platform to attack the Catholic Church. He probably can't believe his luck that he's got two clergy members on tonight.

    If you had reasonable people making reasonable argument, and agreeing on a reasonable way forward, they wouldn't be on tv?

    i think the media is in general , disproportionatley pro choice , i wouldnt call breda o brien or david quinn extremists

    extremists are the kind of people in america who seek out doctors and hurt them

    btw , i wouldnt call ivana bacik an extremist either
