His comment about having no Wi-Fi earlier was bizarre.

I know most people like myself remember WWI and the Irish dead, which I have studied very well, but I don't need to have anything to do with a poppy campaign, the British army or the Royal British Legion to do so.

I don't understand why the likes of the callers don't understand that.

When you buy the poppy, does the money not go to former British soldiers?

The fact that it stays in Ireland is a red herring.

Irish people who served in the British Army, Navy and RAF.

Thousands of them did and they're still proud to call themselves Irish.

They deserve as much recognition as any soldier from England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland or anywhere else that fought for the allies in both world wars.

Wow.

"The Taoiseach is meeting the Opposition leaders, Fianna Fail’s Michael Martin and Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams to brief them on the allegations."

Shouldn't the Technical Group be included though?

I thought that they would have been recording these calls anyway..

The Technical Group got the ball rolling in the firdt place. Of course they should also be consulted.

It's a fair bit different in fairness, what if you're complaining about a garda ?

Dan Jaman · 25-03-2014 3:59pm

I would assume that polis calls were recorded and if I were calling them I'd be using the name "Joe Duffy", just as a nom-de-jour. I'd be keeping quiet about my lack of lights and baldy tyres, though.

You're saying you don't understand why the callers don't understand that you are content to remember the war dead in your own private way.

Can you not just let others remember in a way they see fit?

bottlebrush · 25-03-2014 4:01pm

I thought taped and recorded meant the same thing?

Not so sure, he was instrumental in Enda Kenny becoming leader was one of the main TDs to hold off the heave I think Kenny owes him big time.

They seem to think we should be wearing poppies, and implied that the shamrock poppy would solve that.

I just don't think poppies are necessarily vital.

The lack of poppies is sometimes referred to in the media in Ireland around November, as if it's the same as remembrance.

True.
If anything the public's view of Garda diminished even further as a result of today's show.

http://www.merrionstreet.ie/index.php/2014/03/government-statement-on-matters-relating-to-an-garda-siochana/?cat=3

In the context of ongoing legal proceedings in a particular case, the Government has learned that a system was in place in a large number of Garda stations whereby incoming and outgoing telephone calls were taped and recorded. The Government was informed of this new information at its meeting today.
As the matter is before the Courts, it is not appropriate to make any further comment on the specific case.
From the information available, the practice of making recordings was in place for many years and was discontinued in November of 2013. It is not yet clear why this practice was in operation.

This is GUBU territory. There could be a huge number of convictions and ongoing criminal trials thrown out over this revelation.

CountyHurler · 26-03-2014 2:25pm

Mary Lou, who doesnt believe Gerry was in the RA, leading the charge of the moral light brigade.. makes me sick... And Michael Martin saying that Alan Shatter made false allegations against the whistler blowers... He should look on the benches beside him he'll see one of his own former cabinet members who swore an affidavit to say that a Sinn Fein member was running a brothel... But he is happy enough to sit beside Willie... And now Niall Collins.. Why dont they ask him why his Government didnt know about the bugging. It went on while they were in charge!

Anyway enough of my ranting.. What has our resident socialist hero got in stock for us today.. did anybody hear the promo..
