U.C.D. has 330 acres of parkland, like some country estate in the middle of South Dublin. As lovely as the hundreds of acres of green fields of U.C.D. are. there is a housing crisis.

Would they not build more student accommodation? There's already huge demand for the existing apartments on U.C.D.'s campus.

No doubt so that she can give her little darling a crossbar to college. :pac:

40 mins away.... those country bumpkins will believe anything! House is probably in Drogheda!

UCD are running a huge deficit.

that €800 covers accommodation and bills, means you don't have travel costs so is still a bargain.

Duffy is leaving?

Atlantic Dawn · 13-09-2016 2:57pm

Good news...perhaps the rings have been located from the taxi man. Did he even ask her yesterday if she contacted the Gardaí to see if they were handed in?

If he was there would probably be no recuitment process, PBH would just be handed it.

Students and the fate of same students ranks a distant tenth in UCD's overall priorities. The deficit isn't funding edukayshun of the students.

It would make a nice title for a song about Liveline..."Misery Hill".

Who's to say he isn't up there now, with several copies of de buke.

Taxi driver had a good look at her ring.

Her beautiful ring.

Well done, callers. Well done, well done.

He'll be practising his painting skills on the rock, with a Muriel of Chislers 1916, to shift the remaining stock.

Don't think the Jag would get up there and not sure if Joe'd be up for the ascent by foot. I suppose he could hire some sherpas..?

It ran a surplus of 20 million euro in 2015. Incidentally, that's just below the amount of income it generates from student accommodation.

The cost of construction is hugely offset by state grants and Section 50 tax relief.

I live nearby, I jog around their hundreds of acres, and I honestly think they need to get the finger out. There's a solution staring them in the face.

Only for I know he's in his chateau "en Frawnce" so to speak I could have sworn Joe was in the gym this morning at the same time as me as there was a man with "a working class Dubalin accent" so to speak who was telling gym-goer that he "was at 4 funerals last weekend".

Possibly in the gym in a last-ditch attempt to avoid joining his friends and family in the ground? I take it he had a few chinny chin chins?

He's a member of West Wood in Clontarf so to speak. He's mentioned it before in his Daily Fail column dat he does de exercisin' and dat, but I'd imagine to look at him he spends 30seconds on an exercise bike and then an hour in the jacuzzi so to speak.

So Lloyds Pharmacy has to pay €12 million back to the HSE (taxpayers) for overcharging. Will Liveline cover this now Lloyds are no longer sponsoring Joe's wage packet, or is it open season on them?

According to Morning Ireland it's possibly the tip of the iceberg when it comes to pharmacies overcharging. No surprise there.

I used to work in big bad pharma so to speak. Trust me, that's "just the tip" so to speak. The stuff that goes on re drug reimbursement is mind bogglingly crazy. As for medical billing to de in-shure-iddance companies, I could tell you stories - but not here for legal reasons so to speak.

I know the sponsorship is now over when the repayment occured but is there any ethics over what companies are allowed sponsor a show on RTÉ? Surely the state broadcaster should have rules regarding who they will take money from. A motor company involved in emissions testing fraud also sponsor an RTÉ show, they should be struck off.

Sure, if you took that line - RTE would have no advertising! There'd hardly be a business out there that hasn't offended somewhere along the line. Life is tough in the real world

McDonalds currently sponsor the Saturday evening kids/family movie on RTE1. There are a number of complaints sitting in the BAI on that one presently (none are mine btw but I have heard this from a reliable source) as it clearly violates the advertising to children after 6pm rule.

Is Joe back today to tear into Lloyds Pharmacy?
