Joe how is it a tele poll on the radio ?

That_Guy

Why should we give money back we're owed?

bigroad

Irexit.

PeterTheNinth

You'd never know where Joe stood on the issue, would you

Harry Angstrom

So, the EU tell the government that they have no choice but to impose water charges and the government tell us that there's nothing they can do about it, but the EU tell them that Apple must pay tax and Enda and Noonan will fight them all the way?

Itssoeasy

Joe trying to pretend to be balanced is a laugh.

How long after the poll result will the independent have it up on their website

It will go a long way to subsidising the soup in the RTE canteen.

PeterTheNinth

He's reading out the result before people have voted now. That's chairing the debate for you, RTE style.

Joe is trying too hard to shoehorn balance in the conversation at every available opportunity.

That seems to be about it but it has to be said that water charges by metering make eminent sense and we shouldn't need the EU to tell us to do it. This other business baffles me as a taxpayer.

Uncle Ben

Oh I love it. Joe dissing Apple now and their commitments to stay or create more jobs.

Dan Jaman

Meanwhile, in the Apple boardroom, the internet radio app is playing Liveline...

"Who is this man? What do they call him over there?"

"He's known as The Gobshoyte, Chief."

Itssoeasy

Joe not happy to be asked questions by callers.

pc7

I'm shocked by that, but then I realise its Live Lahnnnnnn listeners

LOL - you jumped de gun there!!

PeterTheNinth

So you were completely f**king wrong then Joe. What a clown. Now going off to find some junior staffer in RTE to blame for it.

"There are more intelligent people in this country than I thought"

Joes not happy about the poll didn't go his way.

Not if the fatcat owner of one of those companies installing water meters is a friend of Fine Gael......

"Back to normal" sez Joe. So what misery and death and pain Joe ?

Itssoeasy

Joe tele poll isn't correct.

deathtocaptcha

it would be easy to automate a single character text message to a single number...

Joe should investigate how many of those texts were from unique, Irish mobile numbers..
