Some posters on this thread don't know when Pat is giving an opinion and when he's reading out a text.

Really poor this morning on the checkpoints/ traffic. The advice is to work from home if possible, not you're fine to go to work. Lots of companies and managers have forced people back into the office when their job could be, and was being effectively done, remotely at the height of lockdown in March.

Completely wrong messaging by Kenny and Faughnan. City traffic being back to 80% isn't just essential workers who have to be on site/ builders/ plumbers.

He mentioned several times about giving them extra powers etc. Ie What is the point of checks without them?
It’s obvious pat would welcome more draconian powers to stop people, he keeps mentioning them

Kenny banging the drums for more restrictions or "circuit breaker" as it's called now

Henry out on the street doing interviews and it's just noise of traffic. Terrible

Is it me or does Henry pick interviews with people on the street with the maddest heads on them?

The primary school kid nailed it with Henry, government have no plan and Micheál Martin looks like a granny with no teeth.

I thought the interview was quite good, I've never heard of Alice Leahy. I guess the issue is that with Covid they can't be standing on top of each other, meaning a lot of background noise got picked up. Did seem like a particularly noisy spot they were in...

Pretty sure I heard him interview a woman last week who said she won't wear a mask cos what if you had asthma and den couldn't breath, but that everyone she's seen is wearing one except the foreigners who don't wear them.

Was that the one in Drogheda where it gave the impression that that town was tinfoil hat central?

Was Luke O'Neill on this morning? He's usually on Monday and Thursday.

If ever an interview proved the old saying "children should be seen and not heard" that was it.

I have to laugh at Pat's steady stream of Guardian columnists and left wing commentators, queuing up to have a pop at Boris Johnson. In fact this is replicated across most media platforms.

The reality is, that if the likes of Pat Kenny lived in the U.K. he would most likely vote Conservative.

I think you can separate the two, though.

The likes of Pat Kenny, a pension-age millionaire living in Dalkey, most likely votes Fine Gael. However, there's a big difference in competence between Leo Varadkar and Boris Johnson.

He's also ex-RTE and an ex-RTC lecturer; he's probably still wondering where Democratic Left went!

Pat all to ready to criticise Boris much faster than our own politicians.

Now it turns out, we have perhaps more cases than England per population.

The media here can't get on their high horse to criticise the London Government for rejecting medical advice, after our own government did it last week.

Pat Kenny has gone from blaming cyclists and joggers for spreading the virus back in the Spring to laying the blame squarely at the feet of GAA teams celebrating and young people at house parties now.

I recall that Pat was an advocate for opening up golf clubs at the start given that golfers social distanced etc. He had the same argument for tennis clubs.

Funny how Pat fails to recognise or acknowledge at the time the group of super spreader golfers who went from Dublin to Tullamore and infected employees in the hotel resulting in its closure. It was a story glossed over on his show.

He has also failed to recognise that a lot of the behaviour we saw in August and September where people congregated to enjoy themselves after a tough 4 or 5 months stemmed from the two-fingers that the elite gave us up in Clifden (after they were all golfing Pat).

When yer all finished.... if you don't like Kenny's replacement then good bye, don't bother us with it.

Tubridy would be a step too far.
I don’t listen to Healy because he has no clue how to interview anyone. He asks questions and then answers them himself before his interviewee has a chance to open their mouth.
I find it hard to believe that Newstalk has nobody better than Healy to fill in for Pat.

Big shoes to fill standing in for PK.

Healy isn't too bad really but in comparison to Pat he's just an apprentice.

What we are looking at is the future of Irish daytime radio unless a few newcomers get a chance to find their mo-jo.

PK could say "Après moi, le déluge" and he'd be right.
