Someone say how much they're flippin earning..,

Utter waste of public broadcasting. For a programme that was devoted largely to a strike over wages, unless I missed something, we are still in the dark as to what the current earnings are. How can the public make any judgement. Failure Joe.

Could the army be called in? All the buses have auto gearboxes so skill level wouldn't be as hard as the olden buses.

Maybe, but the job might be below them these days. You know, the army are professional soldiers with a serious specific role in modern Irish society

She drives? Why doesn't she get the bus to help some struggling bus drivers?

Hard to feel sorry for that poor caller.

6 kids seems extremely irresponsible especially when you can't afford to provide for them and your missus.

But isn't that why we have such a generous State, not his problem caller

Mannix Flynn has tabled a motion for the Artane Band to change it's name, thankfully they told him to stick it up his swiss before the vote...

THE ARTANE BAND has said that it won’t be changing its name ahead of a council motion that could ask the band to do so.

Dublin councillor Mannix Flynn has tabled the motion citing sensitivity around survivors who were abused in the former St Joseph’s Industrial School in Artane.

One befitting Joe......platinum with Swarovski crystals, all wrapped in a red velour waistcoat so to speak. Sophisticated, classy and understated, like the man himself.

WTAF?

It's not called "The Artane Boys Borstal for de abusin' and de ridin' of de childers of de mudders dat did go to de Magdalene Laundries Band".

Mannix, why don't you petition the Catalick Church to change it's name then?

Yes all that's going on in the city and he wants to change the name of a band, he's a joke. I'd say Duffy will still have him on tomorrow for 40 minutes worth to talk about it though.

Mannix and Keith were on with Mary Wilson yesterday. It is a bit of a ridiculous idea. If he was going to do that, there'd be a list of things that should have their names changed, many further ahead in the queue than the Artane Band. As someone who has heard them many a time in Croke Park, I think the name is fine and not offensive. Even if they know where its origins are, very few people would have a problem with it sharing the name commonly used for the school, even though it is St. Joseph's.

From a photo I took on Sunday:



I don't know what you all think, but they don't look offensive to me.

Maybe not, but it is the title of Joe's next buke.

Should he not then be calling for Dublin City Council to rename Artane itself? Would that not be the logical extension of what he's suggesting.

This abuse happened in the 60,70s , Is it not time to move on from this ,its 25 years since there were school,s that were mainly staffed by priests and christians brothers .
99 per cent of school teachers are ordinary men and women who
are employed by the school.
Changing the name of the band in 2016 seems pointless ,
and its an insult to people who live in artane .

Pffffft! Logic? Go away out of dat with your logic. We'll have none of that where matters Mannix or Joe are concerned.

Probably wearing his Grandad's Lucky Socks, that lay mouldering in the dresser top drawer for years, until just a short while ago, when his Granny pulled them out and made him a gift of them.
Unbeknownst to anyone, the preservative mothballs were a particularly poisonous variety, long since banned, and the fumes from them affected the KK players in subtle and mysterious ways, causing them to miss balls, footing, and the cup.
