He wasn't claiming it is!

He was pointing out the anomalies in the rules/legislation that say that someone who loses a lower limb can have a tax rebate on getting a car adapted, but someone who loses an upper limb can't, unless they've lost both limbs - and looking for support in a campaign to get those rules changed.

Were you even listening to him?

I would contend that driving a car, even an automatic car, with only one arm is inherently dangerous. It is perfectly OK to drive an automatic with only one leg because you only use one foot.

HeidiHeidi

What are you doing in the Netherlands?

Have you been scammed lately?

Have you a disease?

What's your difference?

Will you blub on air for me?

Is he sweeping the wet floor of something?

He must have some useless TD in his area, this is the sort of thing TDs should be doing , lobbying for change in legislation like this , but he's only one vote I suppose .

I might need to be on standby with the Cork Subtitles after the break I think.

Well luckily you don't get to make the rules.

That's why adaptations have to be made.

And again, you've missed the point. It's the unfairness of the anomaly in the rules that he has a problem with.

If it were inherently dangerous there would a slew of crashed one-armed drivers. I don't see them.

yes , and they wouldn't be insurable , so adapted vehicles for upper limb amputees must be available and proven to be safe.

It's a mystery. A random caller to tease us.

Dan Jaman

"Robbery? That would be a civil matter."

Lapin

Thare is absolutely nothing talented, humerous, interesting or notable about writing songs about bingo.

But because some salt of the earth eejit bumps into Joe somewhere and asks him if there is any chance of a plug on the show sometine, it becomes facinating and entertaining listening for us all.

Well done for moving on Joe. You did your favour.

Just please don't sign off at the end with one of his frigging songs.

Pat got robbed of €1400 and Joe had no time for him.

Woman from Limerick who is a single mother with a disabled son gets robbed of €480 and she gets a half an hour.

If they were actually T guys, you can bet someone would have slipped it in "by mistake", mar dhea, by now.

I wonder would all these bad lines be anything to do with people ringing in on stolen iPhones?

DoneDeal plug.

Roger_007

Do these people not realise that they are probably dealing in stolen goods.......why would anyone be selling an iPhone 6 when they are only on the market a few months. And most are bought as part of a package which lasts for 18 months.

Finbar it lucky he's only coming on now, otherwise Joe will go to town on him demanding he's personally responsible for all these scams.

Dan Jaman

Done Deal desperately doing de-Joeing.

Really hope they give that poor lady the iphone 6...would be really nice thing to do

As per usual, callers trying to defend their reputations get squeezed into the last three minutes.

Can't see them doing it publicly, the scammer's would be on to it pronto

This guy (whom I happen to know) hasn't listed a single thing that the first caller didn't do.

I'd probably agree with that if she made her begging call with a little more dignity.

Also, I'd like to see the phone returned to the true owner first.

It's not that. The man is in the whole of his health, so there was no condition to extract gory details about. You need more time for those calls.

I fix TVs in my spare time and am frequently looking up Adverts for second hand tellys to fix.. There was one guy up there who had bought a brand new 3D TV from a lad dressed as a security guard.. paid near a grand for it I think... Got it home and plugged it in and the screen was just black... On closer inspection he noticed that the screen was actually cracked and the guy painted over the front of the screen with black matte paint so as to hide the crack....

I buy stuff from Adverts but you always have to assume that the guy you are buying from is a crook and organise the transaction on that basis..

I felt sorry for her. She sounded so upset by the ordeal. I think it was a bit of a lost opportunity for donedeal to do something at Christmas...ah well
