He has Jackie Healy Rae's voice. Great accent, in fairness.

Great swipe at Joe Duffy there.:D

Ah no. I missed that. Can you give us the gist of it?

Roger_007

I notice that there is not one speaker representing the business community. These are the people who directly or indirectly pay for everything that all the speakers so far are looking for.

Atlantic Dawn

The unfair deal system.

I'm not sure why that FF lad was complaining about all the grants that went to Mayo because when John O'Donoghue was Minister for Sport he allocated a massive amount of national lottery funding to Kerry. He was also responsible for transferring the Legal Aid Board to Caherciveen.

I think we should recreate a gun running mission next year, some ship could sail from Libya and be met by a trawler.

Is it just my TV set, or is the sound and picture a bit off?

And the prison visiting committee HQ. Apparently it helped rack up traveling expenses.

Lady Chatterton

Ferris and Healy-Rae have safe seats.

Roger_007

Will we have any diddly-eye music at all at all?

Lady Chatterton

You have to come to Clare for decent trad

Lady Chatterton

When Michael Healy Rae speaks he reminds me of the Bull McCabe!

Griffin acquitted himself well on a night of government bashing. Arthur Spring was a no show, so Griffin had to answer every question directed at the government. Jimmy Denihan would have been a help to Griffin too, but he was attending the funerals of those who died so tragically in Berkeley.

They call that filler down our way.

RayM

That was like watching people dancing with their sisters. Which, in fairness, is probably exactly what it was. At least it was mercifully short.

The Kilfenora Ceili Band are entertaining folks for over 100 years, put that in your pipe a smoke it as my granny would say

Absolutely ludicrous ending a political debate with music and dancing.

It would have been grand without the incest-dancing and the "wahoooooo!"

Still, nothing beats Vincent's over-enthusiastic introductions to operatic arias on his old radio show.

Yeah it was the same for me. The sound was low at times.

Must be dress down Thursday tonight.

coolhull

Did they say where Vincent is tonight?

Lady Chatterton

Vincent should have shown the Greek waiter a bit more respect, the lad was good enough to agree to being interviewed for the programme.

I thought it was disgraceful the way he mocked him. He should apologise.

take everything

Jaysus the state of some of those in the background.
Where does Vinny get them

Atlantic Dawn

Who is the guy in the backgroung on the phone with the shades? Looks like a Greek or perhaps Russian secret agent.

Atlantic Dawn

How did the Greeks ever get in to Europe, they are not even connected to the mainland countries and also have no natural resources.

A bit like us so.

Atlantic Dawn

Greece should legalize cocaine or something, they need an angle to attract people.

We have/had the richest fishing grounds in Europe, that got us in, nothing else.

Wow.

I think it sums up this country nicely.

U can't hear a Feckin word ..... What's the point of this ??? If I want to go to the pub I'll walk out the door and go! I don't want it in my sitting room !

Atlantic Dawn

TV3 should do some kind of Nighthawks reboot, it could basically start right after Vins show at midnight, they could leave all the crew there, just change the presenter and guests.

Lady Chatterton

This feels like Nighthawks with all the drunks in the background.

Lady Chatterton

I wish Vinny would ask the crowd to shut up :mad:

Doing the stupid accent made no sense, he was imitating Irish and British people asking Greeks something in a Greek accent?!?

Ok that's it ! Turning it off ! Nite nite ... this is ****e ������

Roger_007

I can't listen to any more of this. The noise is awful.......(and the background noise is even worse).

Harry Angstrom

Vinnie needs to adopt this approach:

If the panel is talking for the benefit of those people behind them, they're wasting their time. Nobody is taking a blind bit of notice....
