Any chance of an oul Christmas song Ray, on your Christmas show? I thought not. Shocking programme. Thank god it's over for 2015.

You can't beat Banagher!

This show has no redeeming features.

Sorry Theresa Mannion, but a RIVERDANCING SANTA just broke the interwebs!

ffs what an arrogant bitch.

Sorry, but denying people the right to bodily autonomy is wrong. Therefore, repealing the eighth amendment would be the right decision.

The entire show was was a richness of embarrassment

The world's largest buffing machine could not polish the turd that is The Ray Darcy show !

Ah at last we've found one positive use of modern technology. Just heard the song on the ad reminded me of it.

I totally agree, however saying things like "vote the right way this time" will rub some people up the wrong way and sounds condescending.

I'd be sorry were I the marketing manager for the sponsors Nissan...the slogan is innovation that excites.

This is neither innovation nor exciting.

I have a theory that the LLS has been given the good guests and ray d'arcy the filler sports one....but recommissioned for a second series..

That was just a weird experience, my brain feels weird after watching it tonight.

Hey Sudz, say that if you're not allowed to watch The Ray D'Arcy Show, then he's not allowed to watch Ryan Tubridy on the Late Late. That'll really confuse him altogether.

It may receive a hugely mixed reaction from viewers every weekend, but it seems Ray D’Arcy will have to get used to the constantly changing opinions of his show, as it’s been commissioned for a second series.

The chat show was given the green light last night, when RTE decided to give the show another chance.

Of course that last dramatic piece was a very odd experience to say the least.

My god. A riverdancing Santy Claus. That is a new one for Christmas I tells ye.

Anyway, good night guys. Thanks for a great thread and thanks for your lovely support for my aunt who is not well.

In your opinion.

I'm not gonna get into the whole abortion debate because we could be here all night, but there's a reason why we have a democratic system in place to put such issues to a public vote. If one person dictated the rules, like you or the woman on Darcy tonight, then it wouldn't be very democratic would it.

I don't have any opinion on the 8th amendment and probably won't vote, but telling people which way they must vote because of an opinion you personally hold is not very democratic.

I would have thought most people were of the opinion that the right to bodily autonomy was a pretty fundamental one. Ireland is one of very few democracies that denies people that right.

But that was her opinion also. She believes it to be the right thing to repeal the 8th and that people should vote to repeal it - her opinion. What's the big deal?

If the thread here is anything to go by, 90% of his viewers don't like him, but luckily for him, they loyally watch him every week to discuss how they don't like him.

Equally, you don't like anything about this thread or the people who post on it yet you rarely find anything else to do with your time when it is live.

"But RTE has invested so much money in bringing in Ray in from Today FM, the bosses who brought him over would face heavy criticism if they axed his show after one season."

The Irish establishment mentality summed up in once sentence. Make a massive cock-up, but ignore the massive cock-up because acknowledging the massive cock-up would affect the reputations of the lads who made the massive cock-up. And we can't have that.

You would have thought wrong.

No poll shows majority support for 'abortion on demand' in Ireland.

Fortunately, it would appear that a majority recognise the right to bodily autonomy of the unborn, and so long as that remains the case, there is a good chance that a referendum to repeal the 8th will fail and people like yourself and the woman below will be disappointed.

Right now, on a canvas somewhere in Ireland, Michael Flatley is saying "Ah be jaysus, I never tawt o' that, ta be sure"

I don't watch it as I can't stand the condescending bore.

I used to listen to him on Today FM a few years ago and enjoyed it, then he changed for some reason - all preaching and obnoxious.

I love this thread though!

Same here, I can't stand him, so I don't watch. I do drop into the thread occasionally. It seldom disappoints

ROAAAR

Watching some of this repeat on now and omg how is this show on TV. Ray just isn't suited to TV interviewer. I think a lot of people warm to Ray, although in recent years I personally went off him. Just a crap TV show.
