Buy Local ? Explain why you cheese is produced or processed in the UK ?

As already stated its produced in Wexford and like most cheeses produced in Ireland its shipped to England for packaging as a) its cheaper and b) the market is far bigger than here.

Manchester has a bigger population than the whole of the ROI

Ha, brilliant.

Is it wrong to have a problem with Murdoch or the way he operates?

Actually the GAA said the Sky deal was marginally financially better, so they won't getting huge grants to clubs.

Local pubs will resort to using dodgyboxes. They're widespread and easy to get.

A few pubs use it anyway.

CountyHurler

wtf? Is this Aubrey?

Is there anything similar I can press to get rid of Brian or Joe Duffy?

Why is Joe being so sniffy with this guy?

I am not into sport but I am into classical music and I like concerts and operas. They are not piped live into my living room for free. If I want to see them I have to pay to go and see them. You don't hear me ringing Joe.

No, they're all easy to get. Many local suppliers also. A quick Google will show you that. You could search the product name and your county.

(Not that I am suggesting that you do that. The edit-obsessed Boards.ie don't allow it being spoken of.)

Only getting back to this now as I tuned out. Most cheeses aren't like that as I check all the bloody things and Wexford wree the only ones I bought that had a UK code on them so I've never bought their stuff again. For example The Dubliner I'm eating at the moment has an Irish factory code and I'm pretty sure Kilmeaden is the same.

Anyway, he was all on for buying Irish but his own company won't use an Irish packaging company.

The caller Wesneday a about the GAA Sky deal saying "a lot of people have Sky" annoyed me. Then claiming it was 6 of 1 and half dozen of the other as if it was a balanced argument because a lot of people have Sky so that makes it ok. Ridiculous.

The reason it's ok is because you don't have a right to see every game, and there are loads of games on RTE and TG4 anyway.

I'm on your side buddy but the reality is that the majority of Cheese made in Ireland is sent to UK for packaging and the "Irish" cheese that comes back here with the UK stamp is because it has been packed there, as per the thread I started in 2011 it is ridiculous that it seems there isn't a packing company to cope with demand

If you know Glenstal butter, they ship their butter out in bulk to BELGIUM to have it packed and sent back to Ireland as they cannot get anyone to pack it here for them in the shape they want !

It's apparent since his holiday that Joe has decided to run in a different gear. It's a caller a minute, changing topic madness

Hey my friend, missed this post earlier... I noticed that change as well.. I didnt think it was contrived, but now that you mention it, it does seem to have happened since he came back from his cruise.. I'd say when he came back there was a memo on his desk saying something like...

Welcome back Superstar,

The place was the same without you. And the researchers are really get sick of the smell of sh1t from Damien O'Reilly's wellies..Listen, if you wouldnt mind, if it's not too much trouble, we are thinking of making two small changes to the show.. But only if you are okay with it...

The changes we want to make are
I) We want to move through the callers more quickly. and
II) We want you to be even more impatient and rude to the callers...

Let me know what you think..

Your servant as always,

The Director General Of RTE.

He could never be too rude to the callers.

Oh dear just tuned in and it looks like tears already, Joe FFS its Friday!

this is heavy going:(

What happened in the court case for this to be on Liveline ?

Dublin_Mom

God help them, as a parent, I cannot imagine a worse thing than your child being murdered, and is such a brutal way...

AK333

This is horrendous, this man shouldn't be paraded on this show

I'm not far from where that poor young lad was from, I remember it well, so horrific, I often wondered why it didn't get the coverage it should have had. By the way his brother was killed last year, those parents lost two sons

Dan Jaman

To be honest, this fella sounds like a candidate for gassing.

Nothing, they're complaining that it didnt get any publicity.

I thought they were complaining more that the animal that committed this brutal assault had loads of previous convictions and that its just a revolving door with the same young thugs, thumbing their noses at society and committing more and more crimes

pc7

I don't really think this is appropriate for afternoon radio.

baldbear

At least that scumbag in Sligo that killed the pensioner showed remorse. This animal destroyed this poor family

On top of Vincent Browne's expose last night, shocking stuff.
