Class size issue and the go to person to interview is the head of a teachers union with an obvious agenda for hiring more teachers....all rather predictable.

I seem to remember being in classes of 30+ back in the 70's and early 80's and it "never done me no 'arm".

Same here. We were better off too. I feel sorry for kids these days, with only 14 or 15 pupils in a classroom. It means they can't zone out and have a doss or a snooze during class. Much easier to slip under the radar with 30+ pupils

Pat "But what about study X/Y or Z which demonstrate class size has no relevance to education outcome?"

Union Leader "Fuzzy warm sentimental smush and bluster, if you love children more teachers are a good thing otherwise you're a monster who hates children!"

I like the segment with this guy Luke O'Neill.
He's very informative about science an stuff.
But, why oh why does he have to laugh at EVERYTHING?????
Even on the most serious science topic, he manages to talk like he was a stand up comic!

Mediajunkie · 03-07-2014 12:21am

Loving his show! He's sounding greAt

Harry Angstrom · 03-07-2014 9:57am

Five days of him being antagonistic to every guest and self-righteous at the same time. Fun!

He's like a pig in sh!t this week. He probably thinks he deserves the gig on a full time basis.

Jesus, this Coughlan woman is so naïve.
Her son books a holiday to Magaluf when he was 16 and she didn't even know.
Then she has to go and rescue him from the heathen throngs.
Do your research first Mary, before you let him go.

Maybe he's so sheltered he would!

constitutionus · 08-07-2014 12:03pm

maybe he was No 25 !

TBH though it sounded more like there was a rough set in there with him, i mean having all your gosh stolen and your passport destroyed.

thats not the "Sex/drugs/rock n roll" story i was expecting from this item when it was mooted.

Harry Angstrom · 08-07-2014 12:20pm

If Pat is listening to this, he must be having a fit. A contemporary music sound without a banjo in sight.

That was more like it, I imagine. If he had not lost his money and had not his passport
ripped up I doubt if he would have rung his mammy!!

Heard John Keogh? filling in for Pat Kenny. He was interviewing a lady with Aspergers Syndrome. I thought he was excellent. Has he his own show?

He only ever seems to be filling in for people. He's a lot more balanced and intelligent than Jonathan Healy - the walking talking equivalent of the Irish Daily Mail.

Something tells me Bill O'Herlihy's 'retirement' is going to resemble that of Gay Byrne's.

He says he'd like to do a series of one off interviews.
He's chairman of a state board.
And PK has just invited Bill to step in for him in his absence.

I reckon we'll be seeing and hearing more of Bill in the comings months.

He's not the worst, but there are surely younger upcoming journalists and broadcasters out there who need the work.

Yakuza · 14-07-2014 2:12pm

OT but I'd love to see a clean sweep of the Soccer Panel (Giles is 73, Dunphy is 68 and Brady is 58), surely there is some younger soccer punditry talent that could do as well? I'm sick of the sight of the lot of them, most of whom have been there since I started watching soccer on RTÉ almost 30 years ago.

I agree with that assertion at this particular moment in time..

I bet Jimmy Magee is spitting chips. He probably thought there'd be more opportunities for young bucks like himself now that Bill has retired

Isn't he the head of news for Newstalk which presumably is a full time job in itself

Pat running rings around Jimmy Denehan now.

Pat is being a gob****e about it though, he's using this as an argument to allow the Garth Brooks concerts to go ahead.

Yeah, we have the conservation of our peat bogs on the one hand, and a ****ing fat country and western singer on the other. And Pat is comparing the two.

Puzzle35 · 15-07-2014 10:14am

I think pat was looking forward to the garth brooks concert himself, seems very upset by the cancellation lol

Yeah, but Denehan should have nipped it in the bud immediately instead of engaging. It's his own fault.
