Exactly.

Its a sad reflection on Irish democracy that this gombeen is given the European portfolio simply because of where his constituency is located.

Lapin

Oh Dara is sore. He's very sore :D:D

This Dara guy fancies himself as a bruiser.

Well, tonight he met his match

take everything

Vinny put in his place there. LMAO.
I'm warming to Dara

Sardonicat

Somehow I don't think Dara will be back on the show. That was some humiliation he got. What an arrogant git.

Hopefully the good people of the Northside of Cork city will give Dara Murphy the boot at the next General Election after watching this shambles tonight.

It should be on the TV3 player in an hour or two.

Maybe recognition.

Lapin

I bet Ivan Yates stayed up to watch this so he can stir the pot with poor Chris in the morning and tease him about trying it on with Colette.

why would anyone want to watch that again? utterly boring. I'm not getting the Vincent love in.

Harry Angstrom

I like Chris. I don't get the criticism that he seems to attract on the Newstalk thread.

take everything

What is Chris getting at.

Hitchens

Vinny on thin ground there in that debate

Sardonicat

I'm not sure how appropriate this discussion is before a full investigation/post mortem.

Speculation on what motivated the actions of that young man to do what he did before any facts have been established is in poor taste. The funeral was only held today. Have some respect for the family.

I didn't find anything boring about the way Vinnie pulled Dara Murphy up on his pre-prepared bullshít and exposed this government's spin for what it is.

Don't worry about it. You either love him or hate him, and Vincent wouldn't have it any other way.

I think he was trying to say that there shouldn't be much sympathy for the older brother, that he is a murderer.

He has come on a lot in the last year or so. I think Yates' self imposed exile in wales actually did him the world of good.

One of Newstalk's better current affairs presenters now in my opinion.

If its a girl they're gonna call her Mildred.

If it's a boy they're going to call it Rodney, after Dave......

I hope she doesn't look like the original!

Not a great programme tonight. Bring back Ivan or anyone really!

Sardonicat

The new format was disapionting. Nothing really discussed in depth at all.

Wonder how Dara is doing? On amazon ordering economics for dummies, perhaps...

Too mild.

Firstly, I don't think there is much sympathy for the older brother, as most people will believe he, at least, killed the twins.

Secondly, most cold-blooded murderers murder for advantage,and don't take their own lives.

Maybe therefore we should be thankful that such horrors never visited our lives, and work as best we can to ensure that they never will...if, of course, that's even possible.

It looked totally bizarre. Had an idea at first he might have had breathing problems,
but, if so, it would have not been wise to have been carrying a coffin! Cannot escape the thought that he did not want to be recognised.

He said that using the word 'tragedy' is not dealing with the fact that two
children were killed. Good point.

Anyone watching tonight?

Priests were clear on contraception back in the 1970s.

yeah. Back on the scrapheap of society once again...can stay up late. This is normally way past my bedtime!
Disappointing first episode back, I have to say...

coolhull

the Church has always been slow to learn, except when it comes to waving around the collection box

bubsy

that priest is a disgrace. defending the system. makes me so cross

BlaasForRafa

It's unbelievable how that priest can defend Brady like that, he's a good man indeed. Brady is morally bankrupt, putting the security of the church over the safety of children for decades and defending known abusers to the hilt. It's no surprise that churches are pretty much empty except for the over-60s these days.

I'm one of the over 60's who have totally given up on the church. such hyprcrites.

Vincent is getting worse at the reading and stuttering. Very poor and as you say no rehearsing.

When you become a barrister, you talk like that to fúck up the evidence, even the judge does not know what is going on.
