The irish establishment really doesn't like when one of their own is banged up and caught with their pants down.the past few days has seen the pr machinery go into over drive about poor hickey been humiliated on camera.sickening stuff from them.we don't do that here etc,etc.

And the thing is that they are so massively out of touch that they can't realise that they have no backing from the ordinary people of this country. Every person I've spoken to has no sympathy with Hickey. Yes, let there be due process, but very few are clamouring for him to be freed or put under house arrest.

The "frail" Pat Hickey seems to be capable of flying to several overseas conferences and sports events, in Rio it was 35 C heat, he wouldn't be complaining if he hadn't of been locked up.

Did duffy get offered a free ticket or something ,he is like a dog with a bone.
Can we get an e mail for the police comissioner in Rio to clear up that the Duffy fool is not speaking for the Irish people.

Last week: "Pat Hickey a 71 year old man. A fit and healthy man I should say"

This week: "Do you regret filming this 71 old man in distress"

The fact that this man gets paid the salary he does to spout his agenda on a daily basis is staggering.

Will the podcast be edited to remove Brendan's corruption medals joke?

That is very true. I mean, I don't really trust the Rio police, they do seem heavy handed to me. But they are really showing up the Irish system and that is why you have people like Joe clamouring to say what is happening to Hickey is wrong.

The media, the politicians, many PR strategists are massively out of touch with Irish people. The recession, the bailout, education, social media have all made their impact and we are less likely to swallow the party line anymore.

Just sent my email there, I'm sure I'll get the usual response from Aonghus.

terryduff12 · 25-08-2016 3:23pm

Maybe the wife thought the cops were looking for Michael O'Reilly and said he was gone back to ireland would make more sense.

CarrickMcJoe · 25-08-2016 3:28pm

Couldn't believe when Joe went all Donald Trump by shouting... You have a gun, whoy didn't you......

Good timing too, so nobody could balance things up..

Oooooh, sarcasm. I like it.

ButtersSuki, I was not trying to be sarcastic!
(sorry if it came out that way)

What I meant was it would irk Duffy more to see his name in print in the Times than a complaint he can just ignore and hide away from.

I meant do both to teach him some manners.

You can actually have two valid Irish passports. One is known as a business passport.

They'll give you a second passport if you travel frequently in the Middle East. Lots of countries won't let you in if you have an Israeli visa in your passport

Whats the chances of PBH in the hot seat tomorrow after St Joes interrogation??

Not just that, there are a number of scenarios. If your passport has to go into an embassy for a visa is another reason.

Some also use one just for business and just for leisure and keep visas separate.

I worked in this area for a few years and was actually discussed on the show:D

Its not as much the joke. It was Joes clarification at the end of the show that he had read it from a paper. Will that make the edit?

For the first time ever, I've just banged off a complaint to RTE. I decided to wait an hour, to cool down, but I was still furious - and I now await a reply.

I wish to add my name to what must be a long line of complainants, in respect of the disgraceful behaviour of Joe Duffy earlier this afternoon. His shouting, bullying and attitude towards a Brazilian policeman was stunning in its viciousness, yet somewhat comical in its lack of studied preparation. Does he have a particular agenda in this ticket fiasco? Please also reassure me that he was NOT suggesting that the policeman draw his gun on those media people who were present at the arrest.

It was brilliant. Duffy sounded like an Irish tourist getting annoyed when the locals can't speaky the lingo

25-08-2016 4:55pm

Dear Sir or Madam,

On today's episode of Liveline on RTE Radio 1, Joe Duffy interviewed Brazilian Police Commissioner Aloysio Falcao regarding the recent arrest in Rio de Janeiro of Patrick Hickey of the International Olympic Committee.

I found the tone of Joe Duffy's questioning to be inappropriate, and at times rude towards the Commissioner who had obliged listeners to RTE with his time. The interview was at times uncomfortable to listen to for this reason, and I doubt that many listeners endorse Mr Duffy's discourteous approach. I sincerely hope that RTE does not condone such inappropriate treatment of any police Commissioner, whether in Ireland or in Brazil.

The main focus of my complaint, however, is the bizarre implication made by Joe Duffy during this interview that Commissioner Falcao should have threatened the media with his firearm, in ordering the media to leave the scene of Mr Hickey's arrest.

This is a grotesque implication to be made by a member of the Irish media. I would remind Mr Duffy and RTE that media oversight of the criminal and judicial process can be an important safeguard for witnesses and suspects in monitoring fairness and balance at the hands of the Police. To imply, as Mr Duffy did, that the Media should be threatened with a firearm for doing their duty is unacceptable.

In this regard, I refer you to the Principle of Respect for Persons and Groups in Society under the Code of Programme Standards (hereinafter 'the Code') by the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland, specifically as it relates to the interest of freedom of the Media.

I refer you also to the Principle of Protection of the Public Interest under the Code, specifically as it may relate to the promotion of violence.

Furthermore, although he criticised the Brazilian Police for disclosing aspects of the Police investigation and making available to the Media various personal details pertaining to Mr Hickey, Mr Duffy himself repeatedly sought details from Commissioner Falcao on aspects of the criminal investigation, and the Commissioner's opinion on Mr Hickey's house arrest; and on the nationality and validity of Mr Hickey's second passport.

In this regard, I refer you to S. 42(2)(d) of the Broadcasting Act 2009, which relates to the unreasonable encroachment on the privacy of individuals; and I refer you to the Principle of Respect for Privacy under the BAI Code.

Kind regards,

Atlantic Dawn · 25-08-2016 4:56pm
