Glebee

Its a bit much Joe talking about ministers wages and not a mention of his..

neris

joe defending his wealth there. goodman joe. very quick to attack to attack others on big pensions

pc7

She should have blown her money on coke and man whores, she'd be in the same poor position as she is now rather than putting it into the bank.

miketv

yep Joe, its not a crime to be well off in ireland, keep saying it to make yourself feel better :rolleyes:

JonathanAnon

"It's not a crime to be well off"

It's certainly not a crime Joe, or you'd have been banged up long ago... The completion of Joe moving from to his position of "man of the people" to joining the elite of Irish society is complete..

Over 20 minutes talking to pensioners and no sign of a "petal" yet.

Some kind of record there, he must have used 'em all up on Grafton Street.

That_Guy

"An open book"

Ah don't mention the bukes.

SEPT 23 1989

AngryBollix

Mr Houlihan worked for almost 40 years in the ESB and now gets a pension of €32,400 from the state electricity company, along with a state pension of €11,400 a year.

:eek:

AngryBollix

Surely the great wall of crossmolina should do the service of keeping them out of the kip

neris

nothing to do with the carrier aer lingus?? if it was ryanair he,d be slatting them staright away and blaming them for all the problems

JonathanAnon

"Nothing to do with the carrier"...

Cant imagine Joe uttering those words if this happened on a RyanAir flight..

I feel a Ryanair bashing coming on.

AngryBollix

Sounds like little Johhny needs a good crack on th earse.

I take it this woman doesnt get the 38a home

bijapos

FFS, someone wants to let some steam off on Liveline about a sh1t flight.

Cutting edge radio as per usual. :rolleyes:

Big Daddy Cool

That_Guy

Sounds like a Budget Travel flight.

europa11

Did she say anything to the Cabin Crew..........or wait until she could call Joe?

Jaysoose

Ahh now this is liveline-worthy a kid is noisy on a plane..never mind the fact that the gubberment is about to take a rake of money off the pensioners.

"kid goes nuts while parents couldnt give a hoot on plane shocker"

SEPT 23 1989

Bringing a toddler on a plane is not fun

That_Guy

They were knackers. Just admit it love.

Bertiebasher

wuurking class dublin, god Joe u are getting worse !

europa11

They were like yerself Joe, salt-of-the-earth Joe, luuvley peeple Joe.

neris

serves you right for going to gran canaria. you wouldnt get that kind of thing on joes private jet flying back from st tropez

AngryBollix

Is this a worthy topic of discussion to the national airwaves.

Middle class dublin condescension

brock landers

As an Aviation Engineer, I get about a 7th of the salary Duffy gets..for the responsibility of keeping people safe, working round the clock shifts etc...This fella is on air for not even 2 hours a day, something morally wrong about that.

syklops

Say Tallaght!

A 4 hour flight from Gran Canaria, landing at 1am, sounds like boozed up folks alright.

neris

jaybus she sounded like she was having an orgasm there when she said his name

That_Guy

"What have you discovered in your pay packet?"

"A toe Joe... A bloody human toe."

"Well done, well done"

JonathanAnon

I wouldnt ring Joe O'Reilly office... He's probably out in bus station

syklops

Is she not getting training at the same time?

The student argument does apply. If she does not complete the 9 month internship, she wont become qualified.

AngryBollix

Why would anyone work in the health sector?

A fiver an hour for one of the toughest jobs around. Even as a student thats shameful

europa11

And when you qualify you're off to the Emirates or Australia.......heard it before love, next!

syklops

I am glad that Dr James O'Reilly is protected from people ringing up to talk to him. He'd never get anything done if people were allowed call him with free reign.

deelite

I thought St Itas was due to close

mickydoomsux

Go on the dole and get some no mark to stick a couple of kids up ya and then run off.

You'll do better in this country doing that. Improving yourself is for losers.
