Of course she is, she said DCC couldn't house her in the local area.

Dermot should design a basic house that can be a benchmark for an entry level home.

As the old saying goes. 'Only fools and horses work'

If this is a sample of balanced discussion I'd call the ombudsmen. Your statement, your statement . Sinn Fein make your statement. Then focus on what rte wants to hear.

take everything

She has the audacity to talk about Cloud Cuckoo Land to the minister.

Billy Keane shilling for Diageo (poor things) in today's Indo column.

Should they not have got a few problem drinkers on the board, ideal people for it.

When does she get time to be a GP? She's involved in everything.

Why did she originally sign up for Diageo? Wasn't her time stretched enough already
between all her TV and radio work? (Not forgetting her doctoring, of course!!)

:eek: can't believe what i just saw there, a landlord talking there that i recognise who showed me a bedsit dump for €550 last year, no fixed heating - one convector thing, foam under the lino for damp but the best one of all, like out of Loftus Hall - a black 1sq metre stain with the ceiling bulging over the dormant fireplace and this p***k and kelly not agreeing with rent control?

i know a few visitors took photos that day, they were shocked. i reported him to council. sad that some poor desperate person took it a few days later. had i them photos now id plaster them to rtes twitter to shame that man.

no change here, kelly tying to throw his own 'casual' approach to the book of not giving answers. "i spent some time down there", "i've been there myself", "whats the problem with the councils? - i'd like to know more about that"

I have to say I don't fully undersatnd what the big hullabaloo over Diageo being involved in the Sensible Drinking campaign is all about.

I've heard their ads, I've seen their ads and I've found them very good/powerful.

There will be far more good done with this campaign going ahead then if it is stopped.

Maybe is it just another case of the papers going to town on a nothing story?

I think Diageo know as well as anybody that those preachy/patronising ads will have as much effect as telling a 16 year old that 40 isn't old.

Ha! I thought Claire Byrne was interviewing herself there for a minute!

Lenin Skynard

Higgins brazenly looking to make a name for herself off the back of something that absolutely nothing can be done about.

It's always these dopey senators coming up with bright new ideas about controlling "d'internet".

I honestly don't see the need for that photo??....

Claire deserves more....

She is the ultimate professional it has to be said.

Atlantic Dawn

Some people genuinely should not due to their low brain power and lack of cop on go online, this applies to the bullies and also the victims.

Un Croissant

Young people watching Claire Byrne?? Not unless they are young fellas cracking one out.

In fairness Lorraine Higgins is well renowned for her own personal attacks on twitter.

She is well able to give it as well. Te woe is me attitude from her is rather funny.

A Blue shirt wearing a white coat is a good start.

It's going to be a very one-sided story I think....

Is John Bruton on drugs, we should remember all equally.Muppet.

huh?????????? I don't get you. My point was there were two blonde haired ladies in an identical shade of blue clothing of similar age. When I first turned on I assumed from the camera distance that Higgins was Claire sitting at the desk. Yet then it cut to a closeup of Claire standing up and for a split second I was like "wtf"! I was only putting the photo of a blonde in a blue dress to make this point.

No need to assume anything other than that from my post.

I amn't following what you are implying, sorry.



P.s, I am not questioning Billo's professionalism with that pic

Let's just leave Claire to host her show.......

grey_so_what

I've a feeling that the 1916 celebration is going to be an RTE show end of story.

Regardless of what anyone thinks...

Atlantic Dawn

We should lash a 3rd question on to the Gay Marriage, Presidential Age referendum...

Should we invite Liz and co over for the Easter Rising Commemoration - Yay/Nay.

grey_so_what

John Bruton went slightly off the rails there.....

How is mentioning "killing" going to do any good at this stage about 1016?

grey_so_what

Maybe John is forgetting the goals of 1916?

JustTheOne

Seem John Bruton on a programme hailing his uncle as a hero who killed 2 ruc policemen in the 20s.

Biggest hypocrite ever.

grey_so_what

It would be a lovely gesture to see the ladies honoured who were so courageous....

Maybe Miriam not dressed up is not the answer?..

Atlantic Dawn

There will end up being another war trying to honour 1916.
