Bruton can't accept Leo agreed with mary lou....

Look, it's not a private debate. It's a public debate and therefore comments can be libellous. It's not really a matter from RTE's pov whether what was said is true or not. I actually think Brolly said has some truth but again that's not the point.

There's enough solid evidence of Campbell's bigotry on record to ensure that nobody could possibly get sued for referring to it.

Yyhhuuu

RTÉ is terrified of any possible Defamation. They all are terrified of it. We all should be as the Defamation Laws in Ireland are draconian to protect elites.

Did Joe get a red card?

What I'm hearing is that there is a fear of change. Northern Ireland is a basket case but it seems these people are happy enough to plod along with it despite the fact that we are leaving them for dust when it comes to pretty much every metric of quality of life.

The vaccine rollout up there would suggest otherwise.

Ah cop on Claire you didn't agree with Joe ffs

Pity they couldn't get Gregory back on for Joe, could have been box office.

Bruton talking nonsense. If 50% +1 is enough to keep the status quo then it's enough to reunite. And he talks about stability, does he not realise that it takes 1% to destabilize a situation?

Who was it Joe Brolly namecalled?

Evidence can't stop you from being sued in the first place. It is Claire's responsibility to prevent her employer from being sued at all, whether they would win or loose is irrelevant.

I thought he was making the most sense.

If they called home a homophobe, yes

That's just arrant nonsense. Are you really that naive?

They are doing well with that but they've had around double the amount of deaths per capita.

I think if anyone was being lambasted (true or not) like an absent Campbell was, they would have been shut down.

Is that what called Gregory, a homophobe, if so it's the truth along with the rest of the DUP

How? He's just strongly arguing for the status quo. I'd like for him to set out the exact conditions he feels need to be in place for reunification.

If the Majority of NI votes for a United Ireland by a thin margin, then it shouldn't go ahead to placate Unionism.

Micheál in to say a lot without saying anything whilst keeping the status quo in place

How is it nonsense? So what do you propose, 70/30? How is that fair? The Good Friday agreement was written by much better minds than you or I and they got it right.
