The Pat Kenny Show

Technocentral

Lovely inspiring report, well done Pat!

Ugh. I hate it when the discussion is spoiled by obstreporous-attention-seeking-teenager-in-middle-aged-man's-body, Ian O'Doherty.

I found the ultra-repetitive schoolkids section tedious: ("Hi what's your name where are you from do you like it here?") x 20...

Knocked it over to SO'R only to find another "sure aren't we a great little country punching above our weight sure who else gets to give a disinterested American politician a bowl of weeds every year?" segment with some 22-year-old journalist who thinks this is new.

Between that and tech-corporate-bootlicker Jess Kelly going on about Seattle, and it wasn't a great morning radio experience for me...

Let love into your heart.

This reporting on Balbriggan by Pat would nearly make you want to move there. it's all peace and harmony, love and kisses.
I'm sure Pat is visiting his local Estate Agent to sell that pad in Dalkey as we speak

I don't always agree with everything he says but I do like him.

He was mad to talk earlier though!

Good woman, and a Tipp woman too, so I hope she did.

Borrisokane is my nearest 'big town', and most people I know down home are fairly mortified by the recent attention. Those apartments that are planned to house the new locals are in a tiny development. Borris's schools and GP's have a catchment area of approximately 1,500 people. 15 new households aren't going to put a dent in local services.

It's a great little town, and the only thing it needs is population growth. And a decent hurling team. Might kill two birds with one stone.

It was always a dump and never heard it described as a "big town"?

It was pretty ridiculous reporting. Interviewing the kids in the school in front of the other students and teachers and expecting them to freely air their grievances. Like going in to Newstalk and asking them what they think of Denis in front of the other staff. It's dishonest reporting and they completely ignored all the issues with gang violence that happened in Balbriggan last year. Balbriggan is far from being the multicultural utopia that Newstalk want you to believe it is.

And for a man who is cock a hoop about the joys of multiculturalism and how humans enrich each other's lives - it's funny how Pat himself objects to any housing plan that is proposed near him. Seems that Pat would like to build the world a home and furnish it with other people's love.

I wasn't being entirely serious.

In any case, it isn't a dump now, and it certainly won't be after the new people come. Towns like Borrisokane, or Fethard, or Mountmellick or Lahinch can easily absorb such small numbers of immigrants.

Wasn't that the whole point of the Oughterard 'not-a-racist' protest? That new migrants shouldn't overwhelm local services? Well they aren't. So what gives?

Thought they were refugees?

Probably to humour Flegory Campbell and prevent him hanging up before he'd even started speaking.

Final Balbriggan “report” on now, hope you’ve your notepads at the ready, lads.

The blacks guys! They mentioned the blacks! Gangs!

It's all happening!

No bias Pat.

Embarrassing.

jay0109

I thought I was mishearing things! Pat talking about planning objections and how frivolous, NIMBY type objections need to be ignored or ruled out.
What an absolute two faced hypocrite!

Can you imagine the texts he got in about his comments and I bet they were all screened out by hjis team before he saw them. The man lives in an absolute bubble. Puts his happy clappy 'journalistic' reports from Balbriggan into perspective

Is Kate O'Connell angling for a side job as a News talk presenter ?

Always on and painful to listen to.

From time to time, certain party spokespeople are sent out to bat for the parties.

It's obviously Kate's turn at the moment, because she was on The Late Debate the other night too.

Well she can certainly match Pat Kenny in the "shouting over your guest" stakes - the pair of them were ridiculous at one point, voices rising and neither would give in and let the other speak. Childish and rude, and an increasing trend in current affairs programmes these days.

BPKS

I was wondering how Pat Kenny would put a negative slant on the US mission to take out Al-Baghdadi and he didnt fail.

That he wasnt given a proper burial like Obama gave Bin Laden and Al-Baghdadi being elderly and no longer a threat were two of Pats finer moments this morning.
