You do realize Pat Kenny’s Show has been broadcast from his home since the beginning of Covid 19 restrictions as he is over 70.

I think they’ve done an amazing job overall and things are running really smoothly, fair play to all the sound and technical engineers, the sound quality and continuity overall has been brilliant.

Your point on Ryanair CEO is a totally separate one, yes he could have challenged him more but TBH I found even the idea of flights this Summer positive and uplifting even if it’s only a small percentage.

Is Yates operating from home as well ? Because it's almost daily there too.

No idea.........but in these times I’m sure not all staff are available to work all the time , so I’m sure systems are under a little more than pressure than if everyone is operating full time from Marconi house . Don’t sweat the small stuff

I wasn't listening to the radio, but I can hazard a guess as to what you are referring to! Who was on to defend them this time?

God forbid that you would ask for the rules to be complied with:

The show is turning into the campaign to reelect Kate O'Connell.

You don't need to be elected when the Taoiseach hasn't yet announced his nominees for the Seanad!

To be fair, it’s always shame when a looker doesn’t get elected.

McWilliams is just a ‘hurler on the ditch’. Why doesn’t he put himself up for election and sort out all our economic problems.

Leo is hardly going to nominate Kate, he'll pick one of the Choir Boys (or Girls)

I don't have much time for him but equally don't buy the argument that the only people that are entitled to an opinion are those that have put themselves up for election.


Especially when you consider some of the clowns that a) have put themselves up for election b) romped home in those elections.

I don't think he will either but she's certainly putting herself out there to make sure she's not forgotten. It's the hope that kills you!

Matt Damon is the latest high profile resident to publically fall in love with the place.

Tbf, it's a beautiful place to live (I've only ever stayed there) , and it's also a beautiful time of the year in Ireland....

Thanks be to God for the good weather and Dalkey civility, two things that are making lockdown some way tolerable!!

People in the park beside us in Ringsend have been meeting in groups of 4 or more for the last month, yesterday a full sized football match took place, no cops around to break it up.

Pat Kenny talking to Simon Harris now and Pat is just going on and on about masks as if they're the silver bullet to all of this. Give it a break Pat.

He's absolutely right to keep bringing the issue up..and no they are not a silver bullet..but where people are going to end up congregating ,.often in situations they have little control over they would seem to be a sensible thing to use...the issue he avoided was the cost and I suspect that if the price reflected the real cost of production...ie cents...then a lot more people would have been wearing them on public transport...that will probably come about.

Offers around 60% to 75% protection if everyone wears one, simple really.

Thing is surgical masks are of a far higher spec and cost ..although if this was Ebola rather than Covid..we wouldn't be having this debate..but I take your point that a barrier like masks should be pushed in certain environments..particularly up living transport

He goes on about it all the time and seems to think that people should be wearing them all the time.

If I'm out walking on my own and keeping social distance then I don't need a mask. Simple as that.

Everyday now he just goes on and on about it at every opportunity and saying that joggers should be wearing them etc. It's total rubbish.


In a confined space such as a supermarket yes but not when outdoors, totally unncessesary.
